The free speech issue has gotten dire in the United Kingdom. In this latest example, a man named James Goddard is contacted by police (via postal mail) after they were alerted to one of his tweets regarding pride flags hung along Wembley Way. “These comments are targeting specifically the LGBTQ community and would be considered “grossly offensive” thus being in contravention to Section 127 of the Malicious Communication Act of 2003.”
The police commission asks Goddard to set up a voluntary interview “so this matter can be further investigated.” Goddard is given 10 days to reply or else “an evidential case file may be submitted for consideration of prosecution.”
We can’t see the tweet since Goddard’s been suspended. It must have been really bad to have been “grossly offensive” and therefore illegal.

Yes, “pride” flags are grossly offensive.
Never mind immigrant gangs raping young girls. Have to go after real criminals.
But you can rape a 12 year old, claim it is okay in your culture and let go.
There has never been “free speech” as we know it in the UK
Surprisingly there are great speeches in their parliament if you compare them to the US.
Watch 20 year old speeches by Farage
Excellent! We need a group like the “Bad Law Project” here in the states.
Never mind immigrant gangs raping young girls.
But you can rape a 12 year old, claim it is okay in your culture and let go.
These points, and others, reflect a profound aberration in the values to which the British people have been subjected.
Your objections to FREE SPEECH are "grossly offensive" and furthermore I am under no obligation to sit idly by or promote every perversion imaginable! Sincerely, Still a Free Man
My reply would have been much more succinct.

Do Brits lack the ability not to testify against themselves?
What the bleep is a "nonce"?
A nonce-ocracy if you will.
Nonce == pedophile.
yup, the UK is going down the drain; however this is also the direction the FBI in the USA is going.
Where are the flags for people who aren’t sexually deviant? Why do letter people get their own flag, let alone demand it be respected?
