By any standard, this is a major scandal. The govt has lied. And it’s not a trivial lie. It concerns free speech, the influence of radical Islamism on decision making, and on a deeply regressive move to introduce blasphemy laws to the UK at the behest of extremist Islamist organisations. It could hardly be more serious. And yet - where is the media coverage? The outrage? The BBC hasn’t even touched this story. They’ve run stories about a squabble between Farage & a LibDem MP about some mild jostling in the Commons, & they’ve run stories about mice in Downing St. But this - a story about government lies, an attempted cover up, Islamist entryism into the heart of our democracy- doesn’t meet their ‘news’ threshold apparently. (Incidentally if it wasn’t for social media and @NJ_Timothy none of us would have any idea about this.)
