Have you noticed how after every terror attack or racially sensitive murder, the bereaved family always releases the same boilerplate statement "He wouldn't want his death to cause division or be exploited by the far right"?
I always thought that if these statements were the unfiltered words of the family, every once in a while you'd get a tearful parent demanding bloody vengeance.
And then Keir Starmer would have to say, "Well, we must respect the family's wishes. Bloody vengeance it is".
A Daily Mail reporter spoke to sources linked to the secretive Research, Information and Communications Unit, which uses family liaison officers to guide these statements.
And it does so much more. It sends covert operatives to lay flowers at the scenes of terror attacks. It plasters pro-diversity graffiti on walls. It pushes pictures of Union Jack hijabs into newspapers. It even sent a boy band into Muslim schools to sing anti-terror songs.
Was it behind the woman who started singing "Don't Look Back In Anger" at the vigil for the Manchester Arena victims? Something about that seemed off to me, so I did some digging and discovered that she's an actress.
And as for respecting the parents' wishes, well, there are many parents who don't echo the banal platitudes of RICU, and they are ignored by the government - or worse.
And of course it's fine to use terror attacks to whip up public anger when it can be directed against the blob's political enemies (the "far-right"), as you can see in the coverage of Jo Cox, or yesterday's attacks on Muslims in Edinburgh.
Starmer has been a dreadful prime minister, but I’m not expecting any improvement from whoever takes over. Islam will remain untouchable, the border will stay open to the scum of the earth, and the surveillance state will continue to be built and imposed on us by stealth.
I'm really worried about the rise of Whiteophobia and the backlash against innocent White people, many of whom are feeling very marginalised and unsafe following this incident.
Can you make a public statement that you stand with the White community at this difficult time and that White people are the community of peace?
I am deeply concerned by these incidents. There is no place for violence, racism or intolerance in our country. I met community groups last week to assure them of the strong support of the Government. https://t.co/AstebTf53D
@jonnyrmcfarlane Brazil will run riot. Clarke is a footballing dinosaur who's style of football should be extinct. He's about to come up against a proper footballing great in Ancelotti. No contest.
