The murder of soldier Lee Rigby has provoked a backlash of anger across the UK, including the attacking of mosques, racial abuse and comments made on social media.

Eleven people have been arrested around Britain for making 'racist or anti-religious' comments on Twitter following the brutal killing in Woolwich on Wednesday.

The incident has also prompted a huge increase in anti-Muslim incidents, according to the organisation Faith Matters, which works to reduce extremism.

Before the attack about four to eight cases a day were reported to its helpline. But the group said about 150 incidents had been reported in the last few days, including attacks on mosques.

Any story in a UK newspaper where there is an ongoing case cannot have comments, as our laws of prejudice dont allow it.

Civil disobedience.

Everybody over 18 should insult Mohammed on Twitter the same day.

They cannot imprison everyone.

The British government ships in Third-world savages and protects the savages from the British people. The Swedish government ships in Third-world savages and protects the savages from the Swedish people. The American government ships in tens of millions of Third-world savages and protects the savages from the American people.

Who really controls the governments of Britain, Sweden, and America? It certainly isn't the people. What do the British, Swedish, and American people have in common that makes them targets for dispossession?

The DailyMail, which usually has a very juicy comments section after every article, is refusing to allow comments on this article “for legal reasons.” Considering that it might lead the DM to having to rat out some of their readers, it’s a wise decision. Shows everyone directly just how little freedom of speech exists in the UK when it comes to the ROP.

Next they’ll be jailing someone for making a video, and not letting him out when they find out it has nothing to do with the murders they coldly enabled.

‘’Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.’’

Yeah, I bet they are...

Yah. Nuff said.

I always loved reading the Daily Mail's comment section.Gave me a good idea of what our cousins across the pond REALLY thought instead of having to form an opinion based on the screed of the political class over there filtered by our "journalist" class.

So they now lack free speech AND free press.

If they truly had balls, they’d ban together and hang the bobbies that arrested them......from the same lampposts they hang the terrorists infesting their country and their liberal legislative protectors.

From the caption of one of the pictures in the article:

“The Twitter comments come after the attack in London. Police say they do even more harm to the community”

Note to the British religious police responsible for enforcing multiculturalist dogma: your help would be more greatly appreciated rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
