Just unbelievable how far the West is sinking. The insanity boggles the mind.



Complain all you want about social media censorship in the U.S., at least “Facebook prison” and “Twitter jail” are figurative.

Not so in merry olde England, where Twitter jail comes with real bars.

21-year-old Nathan Blagg really loves his Chelsea football club. So much so that between September 2020 and February 2021, Blagg tweeted out several offensive comments with the intention of taunting longtime rivals Tottenham Hotspur, a team with a Jewish fan base (odd considering the name contains “ham”).

One would think that in the world of British football rivalries, which have a storied history of large-scale riots, a few tweets wouldn’t be that big a deal. But this ain’t yer bleedin’ granddad’s England. This is the new woke Britain, where Crown prosecutors with names like Gujuratabindi and Umbabwego and *clicking noise with tongue* work tirelessly to ensure that Britons ever, ever, ever shall be slaves.

Because Blagg’s tweets mocked Jews, he was charged with seven counts of Twitter racism in a Westminster court. Prosecutor Kalsoom Shah (obviously a person with deep Anglo-Saxon roots) demanded the maximum sentence. After all, Blagg was a serious offender, not an innocent victim of cultural misunderstanding like those Muslim grooming gangs.

And the court agreed. Eight weeks for the villainous Blagg—one for each anti-Semitic tweet, and an extra one for liking the Benny Hill Chinaman sketch.

Frankly, it’s hard to get angry at Joe Biden for ripping one in the face of the royals. A nation formerly proud of its free-speech traditions has become a suitable repository for Biden’s Magna Farta.


 
Real Hate Speech should be a crime.

I oppose Progressives cancelling people just for disagreement.

To start with ... Grandad didn't have Twitter...

Hate speech is free speech. Deal with it.
I apologize for repeating this fact 6MWE is an example of Hate Speech and celebration of Holocaust. In UK such speech can be punished by 2 years hard time.

On the other hand many Progressives cancel people for disagreement -- not Hate Speech.

Europeans don't tolerate antisemitism.

Oh, and the "ham" in totingham is about the size of the town, a Hamlet is smaller than a village. It has nothing to do with pork.

The ADL is a white hating, anti-freedom, anti-American organization. "6MWE" is protected speech in the USA. People are allowed to have and express whatever opinions they like, no matter how distasteful you find them.

Not surprisingly a leftoid has no sense of humor.

6MWE or jokes about Slavery and Holocaust should be punishable -- by Blacklist in USA or by a term of up to 2 years in UK or 5 years in Australia.

Sadly Progressives blacklist many people for disagreement -- not Hate Speech.
