The Labour Party purges have begun and they have opened the gates so wide that there is now the potential to shame them into purging every single candidate on their list. They, not The BFD, set the rules, and the rules are very simple. Any social media comment, no matter

Just as Clarence Darrow never wished anyone dead, yet smiled at many obituaries, Ann Coulter obviously can’t help but feel a twinge of schadenfreude as violent leftist mobs turn on the very people who’ve been cheering them on. They’re all “peaceful protesters” — until they come near you.
