It wasn’t all that long ago that PM Keir Starmer effectively declared a state of emergency and began locking people up for tweeting criticism of mass Muslim migration and the Muslim terrorist attack on little girls at a dance studio.
The UK operates a speech gulag when it comes to ‘certain’ views.
The 12,000 arrests by 37 forces a year are a record high. Speech arrests more than doubled from 5,502 in 2017 to over 12,000 since 2022. increasing by 1,000 or more every year. The internet did not fundamentally change since 2017. The UK authorities however have.
The London Times recently reported that “British police arrest more than 30 people a day for online posts”. London’s Met Police, who have been at the center of some of the worst speech abuses, maintain a secretive operation monitoring social media leading to almost immediate arrests. The Met Police arrested a staggering 5,332 people in 9 years for speech and 1,700 speech arrests in 2023 alone making London into its own speech gulag.
The double standard was glaringly obvious.
Over 1,000 people were arrested for protesting and speaking their minds. In the same nation where police stood by while Muslim waved Hamas flags, shouting “who the f___ is Allah” earned a 61-year-old British man over a year in prison for opposing open borders.
Burn a Koran and you will be arrested.
A man who burned a copy of the Koran has been charged with “harassing” Islam, which risks creating a “back door blasphemy law” in Britain, Robert Jenrick has warned.
The shadow justice secretary has claimed that the charge against Hamit Coskun, 50, for harassing the “religious institution of Islam” is a threat to free speech.
Even a banner condemning Hamas alongside Israel is enough to get you in trouble (for the Hamas part, not the Israel part.)
Mr Tatchell, 73, was taking part in a protest organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and was carrying a placard which read “Stop Israel genocide! Stop Hamas executions!”.
Mr Tatchell said Palestine Solidarity Campaign stewards then wrongly told police that he had been shouting “Hamas are terrorists”, adding that officers told him shouting such a slogan “was a potential criminal offence”.
The activist said he was then approached by a police officer who wrongly believed him to be “part of a counter protest” and was subsequently arrested for a racially and religiously aggravated breach of the peace under the Public Order Act.
In the midst of all this, UK authorities are letting Kneepcap, Bob Vylan and other radical musical acts are being allowed to slide for calling for the murder of everyone from Jews to members of the government.
Insulting Islam is illegal in the UK, but calling for Islamic terrorism isn’t. Before we continue our experiment with Islamic mass migration, we may want to consider the consequences.
