This is horrific-- like something out of an Orwellian Dystopia or somewhere like Cuba or the former soviet union. This should never be happening in a western demcoracy

Congratulations britain you are well on your way to becoming a left wing totalitarian state.

One of those countries that Trump supposedly trashed.

I was in an argument on fakebook the other day with a leftist who denied any censorship exists in the west.

“This should never be happening in a western demcoracy.”

Britain is not a democracy. Never has been.

Not all countries have a bill of rights like we do. I don’t think there are guarantees that countries have freedom of speech. England decided not to have them. Why should it be any of our business.

Seems like when I saw a small part of "Fahrenheit 451"(?) it seemed like it was Great Britain. But I don't know where it was actually filmed. The only part I saw was a police chase scene where the chase was ended to save money. Did I get the right movie or am I confusing it with "1984"? I only saw about 30-60 seconds of the movie so I'm guessing.



Gien the oppressive nature, this seems worthy of a Bible prophecy ping.

And they say Trump is a threat to Democracy.

These people are nuts.

“Who are the brain police” comes to mind.

Modern day Sharia Law.

“to intentionally “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another””

Some people are just plain neurotic and they don’t need anyone else to make them feel “needless anxiety”.

[bgill]

Many on this planet are perpetually annoyed.

Religious conservative should be making this a religious question rather than a political one which the one worlders that should be called globull fascists are reluctant to seize on; Here is an example;

Another reason the UK is a sh**hole - no free speech.

And their intelligence service spied on American citizens and on an American presidential campaign.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I can feel that way just watching the alphabet networks.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That Communications Act provision is itself a deliberate harassment.

[Gene Eric]

The UK proving to be the sh!thole the Continental Army defeated 237 years ago.

Let such tyranny remind us of the value of the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

[Pajamajan]

Chilling and sad. The country that gave the world Winston Churchill has surrendered to tyranny without a fight.

[Mark17]

under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to intentionally “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another” introduced in 2016.

Why do I get the feeling, that it would be perfectly ok, if someone insults white Christians, but not Muzzies?
