Having grown up in the UK, still with family and friends there (cousin is a police officer), they really do think they have free speech. They’ve just been convinced that ‘certain speech’ should just not be allowed, without seeing the contradiction. They are not taught the true concepts behind actual free speech (I never was). I questioned my cousin about some of these speech laws. His reply was that they weren’t “really enforced”...as though that made them ok....despite them being an obvious threat to “be careful before you speak”. This was few years ago, now those laws are worse and are being enforced.
All in the same country that values historically famous debate and speeches at the Oxford Union and the availability of ‘speakers corner’ in London.
With the Islamic imports, yes, it’s easier to arrest those ‘being offensive’ (speaking against Islam) than it is to arrest the Islamic mob.
Today, we see all the Islamic representatives protesting Israel under the banner of “Palestinians”. They don’t care less about them, it’s just an excuse to bind their hate together. Some are finally waking up to the real problem they have. Something is going to break very soon.
The glaring hypocrisy - say something online ‘offensive’ about gays or Islam and you’ll get a visit telling you to ‘check your thinking’. Yet those very two groups are the ones most at odds - only the left are so deluded they still don’t yet realize it.
Sad but true. I am sure there were genuinely hopeful people that got off those trains thinking they were going to be ok.
