No freedom of speech in the UK

[frigidweirdo]

I wont defend America to a Brit who lives in a glass house any more than I would to a clueless pakistani

But I do worry that the brain disease that infects libs in the UK will spread to anti free speech libs in America too

Do you understand freedom of speech?

You're under arrest

Give me a fuckin break

"facts"?

What, like that the person who killed the kids in Southport was a Muslim? Oh, he wasn't though, was he?

As has been posted in a previous post by the South Wales Police, people were arrested for posting "threatening material"

Jordan Parlour was sentenced for inciting people to attack a hotel which houses immigrants.

Leeds man admits stirring up racial hatred online over riots

Jordan Parlour, 28, of Seacroft, Leeds, made Facebook posts during the disorder.

"he pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive or insulting words in the posts."

These are not just people talking about cricket here. These are people who threatened the lives of other people.

Go on then, explain it for us so we know where you're coming from.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

We had good reason to rebel against the British.

But you were British.

 

[Mac-7]

Go on then, explain it for us so we know where you're coming from.

Its your country

You areent free but you are still independent

If you are ok without a Bill of Rights its ok with me too

Just do me a favor and poke your nose somewhere besides America

They are subjects and act like it.

The MP's? What are you on about?

Here is the left trying to tell US, how with 25 reasons we justify having guns. I have just one reason.

If it was so explicit, it wouldn't have taken 200 years to find that in Heller. The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The...

We can no longer say that Britain is a free country

Laws criminalising certain opinions are now having a chilling effect on freedom of expression in the UK

“Those crazy socialists in Britain are putting people in prison for posting on social networks”, says Argentine President Javier Milei. Of course, there is a bit more to it than that. But he’s got the gist right. Perhaps all those worthy lawyers and distinguished members of the Labour Party who fret so much about the image of this country might reflect on what their current behaviour is doing to it.

The 2003 Communications Act criminalises “grossly offensive” messages, even sent in private, and whether anyone reads them or not. Sentencing is tougher if messages are motivated by “hate”. People have been given prison sentences for (admittedly unpleasant) private Whatsapp messages.

... the 1986 Public Order Act, which, broadly, makes it a crime to cause someone “alarm” or “distress” through writing or speech that is “abusive” or (in some circumstances) just “insulting”. It also criminalises messages likely, or intended, to “stir up” hatred on grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation. In these latter areas, the Attorney General’s consent to prosecute is required, as a safeguard, but many such charges have been brought in recent days, so it looks as if the new Attorney General has given a very broad sign off. Perhaps the shadow attorney general would like to investigate, if it is not too much trouble?

... Online Safety Act. This creates a new concept of “false communication” and makes it illegal to send a message known to be false and intended to cause “psychological or physical harm”. Newspapers and broadcasters are exempt, but individuals are not. Yes, “fake news” is now a crime in Britain, and people are being prosecuted for it.

...... The Labour Party has now scrapped the law protecting freedom of speech at universities, and is musing about controlling social media further. The legal establishment seems to have a particular animus against free comment in the media

We are heading towards a real crisis. There has always been some censorship in Britain, more’s the pity, but until recently it was artistic and cultural, not political. We prided ourselves on being a free country in which we could speak freely. We simply cannot say that now. We are, in fact, all vulnerable. Say the wrong thing in the wrong way at the wrong moment, and any of us might find the police at our door.

Can you imagine the Labour Nazi assholes reading the posts on USMB?
Their tiny heads would explode lol.
Freedom of Speech is essential for a free society.
Freedom of Speech is the first thing that is crushed under a tyrannical government.
Let people hear and read everything and then use their own judgement as to what to take seriously.
Ironically it is the tyrannical governments that lie the most.

I would be arrested in the UK for supporting Israel. When the UK police come to arrest me I would say "come and get some of this!" Then I would wrestle the British police, escape UK police custody and fly back to the United States. And then I would post online that the UK police are corrupt and say "I would never go back. And if the UK extradites me, I would once again flee back to the United States"

The things that got people jailed in the UK are also against the law in the US.
