The UK Branded Turning Point Members as Dangerous Right Wing Extremists, Claimed Leftists, On the Other Hand, Were "Moderate"

They actually tracked and surveilled Turning Point UK members because they thought they were dangerous -- after a leftist killed Charlie Kirk. They feared they would agitate for "free speech," which is of course dangerous to a corrupt authoritarian and wildly unpopular regime.

They also complained that the "ERW" -- "extreme right wing" -- blamed Kirk's assassination on "the political left."

I am done with the UK. I am done with NATO.

If Russia invades, I'll agitate to send Russia additional weapons to finish the job.

Inside Britain's Counter-Terrorism monitoring of Charlie Kirk's 'Extreme Right-Wing' supporters

A leaked counter-terrorism memo reveals officials tracked Kirk's British supporters, warning they would "push pro-free speech narratives" -- while describing the Left-wing response as “moderate”

One year ago, Charlie Kirk was shot dead; the British government immediately got to work.

Following Kirk's murder, the Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU), a government counter-extremism and terrorism unit, began monitoring thousands of social media channels, gauging the reaction of what they describe as "Extreme Right Wing" (ERW) activists.

Published here for the first time, a memo generated by RICU reveals that officials assessed that "Extreme Right-Wing" activists, including Tommy Robinson, would use Kirk's assassination to "push pro-free speech narratives".

Counter-extremism agents assessed that Right-wing extremists would use Kirk's death to "encourage more radical action" and "abandon political moderation in favour of more radical political stances".

Meanwhile, RICU characterised the Left-wing online response to Kirk's assassination as "moderate" and largely "factual reporting", despite thousands of Left-wing activists celebrating the shooting.
...

A memo entitled 'RICU Event Response: Charlie Kirk Assassination' was circulated across Whitehall, including to officials in the Home Office, Foreign Office and Cabinet Office, as well as police officers, on 11 September 2025, the day after Kirk was shot.

The memo was classified as "Official Sensitive".

RICU assessed that American and British ERW audiences would present the murder as "a shared attack on the ERW movement and free speech activism more generally", and monitored the response of Turning Point UK, the British arm of Charlie Kirk's American organisation.

"There is nothing 'extreme' about 'pushing pro free speech narratives,'" said Sarah Rogers, the United States Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, who served as Kirk's attorney on First Amendment issues and has led the Trump administration's advocacy against censorship in Europe.

"That's why censorship by governments proves so unpopular."

Rogers added that in her judgment, the RICU report showed "blind spots" which "regrettably were not unique to the UK," pointing out now-discredited intelligence products rescinded by the CIA "show the same biases."

"Most glaringly, the memo describes the 'leftist' response as 'moderate,' despite describing the same leftists as 'celebratory' of Charlie's murder," said Rogers.

RICU is a government unit based in the Home Office that monitors and analyses terrorist and extremist content and supports government counter-terrorism communications.

This is the same unit that pumps out propaganda like "I'll Ride with You" after Muslims commit terrorist murders and also pushed covid hysteria to help the government control the population.

Founded in 2007, RICU has stirred controversy over its role in coordinating 'controlled spontaneity' campaigns in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, including pre-planned messaging, vigils and demonstrations intended to shape the public's response to terrorism.

For example, after an ISIS terrorist attack in 2014, RICU created an image of a Muslim woman wearing a hijab with a British flag, which was subsequently published on the front page of The Sun and other British newspapers.

The image was created because, according to a leaked document from the company RICU commissioned to make the image, "the UK authorities wanted to challenge ultraconservative and misogynistic interpretations of Islam".

...

"The dominant narrative within the ERW attributes responsibility for the assassination to the 'political left' and claims that it is part of a broader campaign of violence against conservatives and White Christians," the memo stated.

As thousands of left-wing accounts literally celebrated Kirk's murder and called for additional murders, including fresh assassination attempts on Trump.

I am done. Done.

I'm going to donate to left-wing NGOs that settle "migrants" in the UK.

To hell with them all.
