Britain now arrests people for speech at industrial scale.
At least 62,199 people were arrested for “communications offences” between 2021 and 2025 — roughly 34 a day. Campaign group Big Brother Watch compiled the figures from Freedom of Information replies covering 38 of 45 territorial forces.
Seven forces refused or failed to supply full data. If those missing forces tracked the national average, the real total would sit closer to 73,000. One arrest for every 940 people in the country.

Oh yeah this is "plusgood"...
Better yet as "V" said
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
When we had 3 stops in Scotland on a recent cruise, the thought crossed my mind that I could technically probably be arrested, charged, tried, jailed/imprisoned, for my Free Republic posts. I considered it highly unlikely, but there it is.
The UK government is engaging in anarcho-tyranny against white people, plain and simple.
When Britain falls, it will be recognizd as something they truly deserve, because they bought it on themselves.
Empty those cattle cars!

Of course they have. The government has already told you what to put on that blank piece of paper. Also, white paper is racist.
The collapse happening across the Pond
is alarming but was entirely predictable
As you noted
Those very same forces can destroy America too
Wait until their very own Holodomor starts. By the same perps (their grandchildren) and for the same reasons (persecuting Christians and plundering a nation).
Why do you think Dem politicians want to grab Americans’ guns? 100 years ago the Kulaks were armed and the NKVD used armored cars.
It’s Bolshevik persecution of Christians. A global phenomenon now.
When London elected a muslim as mayor i knew where it would lead and sure enough.
My wife and I are following a couple on YouTube that came here for the world cup, fell in love with all things America and are desperately trying to emigrate to the US.
They’ve never said one word criticizing the UK (for obvious reasons) but I suspect the draconian government is a big reason.
But remember, Russia is the real enemy
(Why do you think Dem politicians want to grab Americans’ guns?)
Exactly
“”But remember, Russia is the real enemy””

You say that like you actually think that Russia is not being led or controlled by evil leaders, as well. If so, you think wrong.
At least Russia is Nationalist.
Right now, we have Trump. That's it. Everyone else is a Globalist.
Naturally, Trump and Putin should be allies.
But first the war in Ukraine will have to be settled.
And Iran.
“”At least Russia is Nationalist.
Right now, we have Trump. That’s it. Everyone else is a Globalist.

My point is... Russia is still being ‘led’ by an evil leader... ie Putin. Many of our so-called allies are being now led by evil people. I don’t see the US being an ally of Russia or China.... ever... since they are two of our biggest enemies.
Fascism attacked Britain in 1940 and was not defeated. Sorry Mr Churchill, very glad you are not here to see this.
That's just the kind of irony Clio, the Muse of History, finds hilarious.
Will the USA make Great Britain a US colony to save it from itself?

I expect the US to have an economic collapse before Britain.
ghastly of them. Next thing will be a Muslim king. Never, of course, a Muslim queen.
