Brit government says anyone "making generalizations about Muslims" may be a member of the "XRW"

The British army has distributed a poster listing characteristics to enable troops tell if someone is a "member of the extreme right wing"--for which they've even created a cute acronym: "XRW."

Here are some of the things the British government says show one is probably a member of the "extreme right wing" now:
  • If someone describes himself as a “patriot"
  • Adding ‘-istan’ to the name of a British town
  • Using the term ‘Islamofascism’
  • Making generalisations about Muslims and Jews
  • Claiming that immigration is harming vulnerable UK citizens (pensioners, veterans)
  • Referring to political correctness as some left wing or communist plot
  • Making inaccurate generalisations about ‘the Left’ or Government [caps in original]
  • Using blatantly untruthful or incorrect references to immigrants, Judaism or Islam
One hardly knows where to begin.  Who will define what generalizations will be considered "inaccurate"?  Who decides what "references" will be deemed "incorrecct"?  The answer to both question is the same:  The Left, of course.  But that's moot because the 4th item is even broader: it effectively bans all generalizations, even if accurate.

Think this isn't coming here?  Too late, it already has:  In New York the city's "human rights commission can fine you for referring to someone with a pronoun xe doesn't like.

Can't wait til that piece of crap is taken to a higher court.  Will that court rule that using the "wrong" (right) pronoun is hate speech, thus not protected by the First Amendment?  (For those unfamiliar with the Bill of Rights, that's the one that theoretically protects"freedom of speech.")

Until that happens, the NYC ban on hate-pronouns is just a good threat the city could use to bankrupt any citizen who chose to defend free speech rather than pay a paltry $500 fine.
