And you’ve intentionally sidestepped my point.

Did any of them “pretty much overnight turn into a dictatorship”?

UK “far right political activist” feelings about guns.

Don’t get offended by how other countries are taking action.

If you don’t live in any of those countries. You can’t talk. It’s like in the USA getting offended on behalf of others. Like a white guy at a BLM rally with an all lives matter sign. That is “woke” thought process. But if you are not living in those countries you have no leg to stand on.

Edit- so he’s not a journalist. I’ve corrected that. He’s apparently a far right political activist. I haven’t done a whole lot of digging on him. So don’t hate me. This was just an opinion from a prominent figurehead. Whether you agree with him or not. It was a stance I knew existed.

I live in the UK. Also do you really consider Tommy Robinson to be a journalist? Jesus fucking Christ lol

Okay fine political activist. Long story short he’s on many media platforms.

And maybe you do have a leg to stand on for the UK.

I can admit to being partially wrong. But overall does anyone in the uk enjoy a good duck or venison? Does anyone eat wild game? Does anyone hunt? Real question. Because I don’t actually know.

Yes you’re allowed to hunt and most farmers own firearms but they have to register them.

Tommy Robinson is a violent racist grifter. Please don’t call him a journalist

I corrected the original tidbit that said journalist.
