UK Locks Up Citizens for Social Media Posts

[sahgwa]

One of our esteemed colleagues on this thread said no one had been jailed for a social media post well here is the first result. 
I don't agree with what she said, but I don't think she should be in jail!

I mean let's face it, FB commenting is pretty much the alleyway graffiti of our time.

Or is it a fight that is only beginning?

Can the social norms of one country, presumably one society, be so applied as to 'force' non citizens to face their sensibilities under threat of force? 

Well, it is certainly so, it seems, given the existence of wars, and 'traditional' hatreds
(perpetually stoked and breathed upon by media productions for someone's amusement.)

It's a bigger problem... but we'll see eventually whether the globalist "movement" somehow contrives to make it possible to make law in any country.

While it might seem to be something to work out between nations, when nations presumably represent their people... some are going to have to accept limitations to their "authority."

The Britishers on this thread have told me there is no fascist state in the UK, mate, that's all hearsay, no one is getting locked up for free speech!  
I am sad to report more news that puts the lie to these protestations of freedom:


Mother Put in Jail for Parenting

Police Arrest Over 30 Per Day Over Online posts

What say our esteemed cousins over the pond?

Double points if you don't excuse the fascist overreaching behaviour with the words 'hate speech' and 'bad apples'

Based on this set of guidelines it seems the UK is breaking it's own laws, as these people did not have a 'targeted campaign of harrassment' 

Heres a solictor's site:

https://www.bannerjones.co.uk/resources/...to-knowCan I be prosecuted for an offensive post?The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has outlined that in order to face charges for a social media post, the post must amount to a credible threat of violence, be a targeted campaign of harassment against an individual or breach a court order.

The prosecutorial practice of lumping all people who, driven by personal faith, or personal disposition, dare utter their mind,
into a single "coordinated" assault on "society," raises a specter of the kind of thinking that gave rise to some very ugly times in the past...

The people of the UK will resolve this... eventually... assuming the ideologues in government and media don't actively block them.
