'The Home Office is gaslighting its own people into obedience and submission,' says Ben Leo

Cultural nationalism is now a bad thing. Apparently, caring about the direction of travel of your birth land is terrorism. Well, of course not. It's obvious that's not the case.

Any idiot can see that. But this is the latest example of a government that, I feel, is gaslighting its own people into obedience and submission.

Let me tell you something, it's not going to work. Because although they think British people are stupid, I can assure you they're not. Nobody buys this.

Caring about the systematic, racist rape of English schoolgirls by Pakistani rape gangs isn't a far-right bandwagon. As the Prime Minister said earlier this year, wanting to scrap the ECHR so we can deport criminal, illegal migrants is not akin to Nazi Germany, as the PM's mate and Attorney General, Lord Herma, said earlier this month.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

• 'Prevents guidelines are ridiculous it is more likely terrorists would come here via dinghy'
• 'We need to leave the ECHR to put the security and safety of the British people first'
• 'Should Britain copy President Trump and impose a travel ban on dangerous nations?'

And being alarmed at the erosion of British identity and culture at the hands of mass immigration is not terrorism.

I'll tell you what terrorism is. Terrorism is the Manchester Arena bombing, where dozens of schoolgirls were slaughtered by a scumbag who repaid the nation that gave him and his family safety by committing mass murder.

Terrorism is the Islamic State sympathiser who stabbed the much-loved late MP Sir David Amess to death. Terrorism is the Islamist scumbag who mowed people down on Westminster Bridge, then stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death.

Terrorism is the Borough Market attack, where five innocent people were killed by Islamists, including a young lady from Australia, Sara Zelenak, who I watched bleed to death on the pavement as terrorists ran riot across London Bridge.

I'll never forget seeing Sara that night. I'll never forget her injury, what she was wearing, the way she was positioned, what was going through my mind at the time. I still often think about her now.

One of her killers, by the way, was part of the very Prevent program that now considers you at home a terrorist.

In fact, if there's anyone being terrorised here, it's the good, honest, hardworking people of this country who have been lied to, manipulated, coerced, controlled, and abused by governments and political leaders for decades.

The truth is that the bulk of MI5's terror watchlist is made up of 40,000 or so jihadis.

I'm not saying far-right extremism doesn't exist. Of course not. But being concerned about the dark path your own country is being dragged down is not it.

Do not let these people brainwash you into thinking you're the bad person. You're not.
