This is a story which would never take place in the United States, at least not yet and not with the official permission of the government. The European Union has obviously become increasingly alarmed over trends in popular sentiment rippling through their member countries. This started with Brexit, but has more recently cropped up with the candidacies of Marie Le Pen and Geert Wilders. Clearly such rabble rousing is not to be tolerated in the largely socialist paradise so something had to be done. The solution? The EU has passed new rules which will allow them to cut the broadcast of any “hate speech or offensive material” and then purge such speech from the official record. (Associated Press)

I hope more countries will pull out of EU.
EU = peeU it stinks.

This is why we should pull out of NATO. The European countries are becoming more Stalinistic as time goes on and we should not spend a dime on protecting them.
PU-SSR
This won’t work, they will go down in flames
Headline should read: EU ABOLISHES FREE SPEECH.
The EU bureaucrat losers ARE “offensive speech”. May the EU rot and die.
I see the EU’s Ministry of Truth (MiniTrue) is up and running.
In order to protect muzzies and allow them to keep raping and slicing necks, and to throw the Whites in jail for speaking about it.
Fascists never realize they are being facist until it is too late. They all end up dead in the end anyway. As history has demonstrated.
Why the EU can’t make sense of the world and why its downfall is imminent
They want to shut down free speech even more to prevent additional populist candidates like President Trump from being elected and to prevent dangerous immigration policies from being stopped before it is too late to do so.
