That essentially true, but we were talking about one judge, making one ridiculous judgement, in one case. The laws you speak of are not yet enacted, Others are awaiting Lords interventions. We do of course, need to oppose them root and branch.

But the Toey damage is not small, its fatal.

Playing it down isnt a path home.

You are correct in the first part. I certainly would never play it down. Check all my posts and tweets and FB messages. These bastards are fascists, and have to be stopped, that is clear.
