WE WOULD ALL BE IN JAIL IN THE U.K.

If they arrested every TBP commenter who posted an “offensive” comment they would arrest 3,395 people in a week. Every other comment is offensive to someone. Jesus Christ, what has happened to the UK? And how long before it happens here? We know firsthand this story is true. HollyO arrived on TBP and wrote a couple fantastic articles and was fined and threatened by the UK police into silence. The 1984 surveillance state has arrived in the UK. The UK police can blow me. Is that considered offensive?

British Police Arrest At Least 3,395 People for ‘Offensive’ Online Comments in One Year

Police

British police forces arrested at least nine people a day for “offensive” online comments last year.

Figures obtained by The Times through the Freedom of Information Act reveal that 3,395 people across 29 forces were arrested last under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to intentionally “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another”, in 2016.

The true figure is likely to be significantly higher, as thirteen police forces refused to provide the requested information and two did not provide usable data.

Around half of the investigations were abandoned before being brought to prosecution, which critics say is an indication that the authorities are being excessively strict in their interpretation of the law’s restrictions on freedom of speech.

Nevertheless, many forces have massively stepped up their focus on so-called trolls, with the number of arrests by West Midlands Police having increased by an astonishing 877 per cent since 2014.

With Home Secretary Amber Rudd’s announcement of a special national police hub focused on online hate last week, it is expected that these numbers will only increase.

Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, said: “the problem is ‘grossly offensive’ is not something you should normally be prosecuted for. It’s not showing harm to other people. It’s not showing that somebody is being … attacked or threatened.”

The seeming inconsistency in the enforcement of free speech restrictions has also been a source of contention, with the Metropolitan Police — who detained 867 people in 2016, according to the Times figures — appearing reluctant to investigate people such as Nadia Chan, the self-described Islamist who was revealed as having made a number of deeply racist remarks about white people on social media after an appearance on public broadcaster Channel 4.

Chan branded Israeli Jews “parasites” and ranted that white people were “swine” and “pasty bland bitches [who] have NO culture, no rich history, you ain’t shit, ur ancestors were cave ppl”. She also openly endorsed terror attacks on Iranian state network Press TV —  but the Met refused to say whether they would bring charges against her.

Literally thousands of people urged the Met Contact Centre on Twitter to investigate Chan, but the force did not appear to offer any public response, and individuals who contacted the account privately claim they were told the force would not accept any reports unless the complainants came to a police station in person.

Similarly, people who reported mixed race transgender model Munroe Bergdorf for saying “the white race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on earth” in a segment produced and aired by the publicly-funded BBC — an apparent violation of the laws against ‘inciting racial hatred’ — were met with official indifference.

The Met seemed to indicate that it was not interested in investigating Bergdorf in online responses to members of the public, referring them to the complaints form for broadcast regulator Ofcom instead.

Musloids are sub-human, in-bred for 55 generations, with IQ’s lower than dog shit.
On the positive side, Musloids have enhanced societies with ….., well there has to be something in the last 1900 years; Oh yeah, I got it – their claim to fame for the human species is Sharia Law, which is something that is older than dog shit. Now I know why they are the dumbest sub-humans on planet earth.

The truth is never offensive.

It’s very simple. One side is willing to use violence to further their aims and the other is not. Until the English embrace this political reality, they are all dead men walking.

The BBC is owned by the British government, it is a State sponsored and run entity.

The first “B” in BBC should be a giveaway to that.

The American Broadcasting Company is not run by America, and NBC is not run by the Nation, so … not a given.

The UK, gov. and people, are insane.

Who is behind/promoting all of this literal and intangible
violence? That is the question. I wouldn’t want to be
offensive in my speculations…so I leave it with the question.

As I’ve related before, having lived in the UK, the only thing the British will ever revolt over is car boot sales being banned.

By the way, the lead singer of the Sex Pistols got banned from the BBC for bringing up pedophilia in England during an interview.

It’s gotten pretty bad when you jail people for what they type on a computer but let others free with a warning who have raped girls and women.

Because of my love of history, especially British history, and especially their civil war and the Restoration period, I always dreamed of going to England. That dream faded in the 1990s.

All of this is coming here. Look at what Jim is dealing with now. All alternative narratives will be erased. Hate crime, hate speech, if you don’t follow Groupthink, you’ll slowly and steadily be pushed out of the picture, eradicated. We’ll be dismissed and tossed aside, just like the old fatass stooge who got pinned for killin all those poor bastards in Vegas. It’s all lies and bullshit. Speak openly now, the clampdown is coming our way. Pseudonyms won’t help you. They’re in your computer and phone TV Easypass…on and on, they’re up your ass and in your life,, you can’t cut a tree down without asking permission and paying a fee. America’s dead. Dead and gone. You’re in a 3rd world shithole stew, brought to you by your Master.. so shut the fuck up and be good sheep.

Dennis Roe , you hit it the grip is everywhere and tightening . I mention often about the badge wearing just doing my job gang . Check asset forfeiture along with recent announcements of local governments calling your personal property and cash savings as untapped sources of revanue . Since this mind set prevails throughout what was our government do we really ever own or possess anything now including ourselves ? Crony Captialism and corruption is the order of the day

There is only 1 thing that is going to fix all this bullshit and, unfortunately, it’ll be a big ole bad war. Once the libtard ‘progressive’ disease is in you, there is no other way to get it out. A little bit of horror show reality will steer people back to common sense.
