It has been revealed that the UK’s Metropolitan Police has despatched undercover agents into peaceful protest movements, where they have engaged in intimate sexual relationships, sharing their lives and homes and even having children, with the targets of their espionage. This horror story forms part of a worrying trend of late, which has seen civil dissent and disobedience rebranded as Domestic Extremism by increasingly bellicose ‘liberal democracies’ across Europe and North America. As the very nature of democracy, is the freedom to disagree, if dissenting from the political elite is now domestic extremism, democracy is dead.
