WATCH: Young Journalist Gets Chilling Call from South Wales Police for Using Term 'Illegal' and 'Alien'
Redstate ^ | 09/12/2022 | Nick Arama

We’ve seen things going down a very dangerous road in places like the U.K. when it comes to restrictions on free speech.

As we previously reported, British police have even arrested people for a meme posted on social media because it caused someone “anxiety.”

But if that wasn’t bad enough, here are South Wales Police allegedly telling James Harvey, a citizen journalist, that he should take down a post in which he used the term “illegal” and “undocumented alien” in a video because if someone sees it and takes offense, he could be pursued for a “hate crime.”

How insane is that and what are you supposed to call illegal aliens? That’s a legal term. Just using the term “illegal” or “alien” is now “bad” in the U.K. This is, of course, chilling speech — making people conform to what the government wants you to say and speak so they wouldn’t say the “bad things” because they’ll be too afraid to.

Can we get more Orwellian than this?

Illegal aliens are foreigners who come through our Southern border without prior permission from the American government ...

They are not IMMIGRANTS ...

IMMIGRANTS are foreigners who IMMIGRATE ...

They gave up their guns. And now knives and any other self-defense device including pepper spray. The UK govt can do whatever it wants. The UK subjects have no guaranteed rights. None.

Best to avoid all those hate terms and just use the absolutely correct term:
Migrant Invader Vermin (MIV)...

This is important due to the rate at which they are invading this country...
About 3-to-5 million MIVs in just the last few months...
Therefore, our communist rulers are on pace to accomplish (or surpass) their goal of 20-to-30 million additional MIVs per year...

Consequences:
For example, here in the U.S., only about 5 million MIVs voted in 2020...
However, about 10 million MIVs will be voting in 2022...
With a minimum of about 20-to-25 million MIVs scheduled to be voting in 2024...

Freedom of Speech cannot be tolerated in dictatorships.

And the UK is a dictatorship.

Perhaps but I prefer 'Home Invaders'. They are invading and my country is my home, right?

The article fails to quote what particular law this threat of arrest is based upon.
