Yeah.... let's just go back to Nazi and Roosevelt tactics and round up entire groups of people again! As if that's a good idea!

Putting people into internment camps seems to be a British tradition. It's horrific that such ideas are now being openly considered, even if only by right-wing talking heads at this point. But it shows how emboldened they feel following Brexit and the election of Trump. Neo-fascists are running around today, openly spewing hate and Nazi-esque rhetoric and ideas, but we're all supposed to just tolerate it because "muh freedom."

Ah, arresting people before they have committed a crime. This should end well.

ffs, could Hopkins just shut her big mouth up for any amount of time?

What could possibly go wrong with collective responsibility?

How can you lump together FDR's tyrannical, but temporary, wartime suspension of civil liberties for ethnic Japanese at a time the country was at war with Japan, with the Nazis' attempts to eradicate an entire ethnic group?

For those who feed on xenophobia and associated violence, yet are themselves protected from the impact of their actions, very little.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Interning 20,000 people with terrorist ties isn't "interning all Muslims." Still bad idea from a civil liberties perspective, but it's hilarious to see this being remotely comparable to demigod FDR's internment program.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

No personal attacks, please.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Did anyone fact-check Farage's claim that there are 20,000 people who are "linked in some way to extremist organizations"?

I mean, he wasn't the most truthful fellow during the Brext campaign...
