UK: No Bill of Rights.
Illegal to offend Islam?
Will they even have trials?
The British elites do not want to offend the Muslim extremists. I’m guessing the elites realize that if it comes down to conflict, they will be targeted for assassination by the jihadis.
This is unbelievably stupid behavior on the part of the UK authorities. They want riots??? They’re sure acting like it! This is just the way to push ordinary people over the edge — by seeing how other seemingly ordinary people (the EDL) are being mistreated. Good luck, UK. Think you’re gonna need it.
For a western country to do this is pretty appalling. This amounts to little more than “political arrests” of a minority political party.
If the government loses power after this to a pro-English political party, it should not just result in the people responsible for this being fired, but being arrested themselves.
They have made speaking one’s mind illegal, and now will push dissent underground, where it will simmer and explode in their stupid faces.
Maybe the British lads will yet prove to have a spine. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
I will laugh when these foolish politicians are swinging from lampposts should it come to such.
They were not able to stop the IRA, who stopped of their own accord, now
they are sowing the seeds of a new movement that will most certainly not go away.
We live in dangerous and foolish times. The greatest fools, once again and as always are the politicians.
Glad I don’t live in the UK, so while I don’t have a dog in this fight, I’m rooting for ‘Ol Blighty.
Several posts hereon seems to think this isn’t going to happen in USA. Good luck with that, soon...
This is insanely horrible.
British Freedom Party leader Paul Weston arrested for asking why compatriots were arrested and where they are being held. Freedom just died in Britain. Will amnesty international guyfawkes fans, and ersatz civil libertarians care? Or will they celebrate this oppression?
My hint to the Scots: get out while you still can
In UK you are a subject not a citizen. Every freeper knows there is no First Amendment there or in Canada
When does this start here?
