In a story that has virtually been ignored by the global media, UK police arrested an independent journalist for posting "malinformation" and misinformation about Ukraine.
Under the new UK censorship law called the Online Safety Act, the government can order the arrest or detention of anyone said to be "hateful" or judged by fact checkers to be posting "misinformation."
Warren Thornton was literally in the midst of streaming an edition of his podcast The Real Truth on Sept. 24 when Bristol police officers came to his front door and demanded he speak with them.
The Liberal government of Canada is preparing its own version of this legislation that will target "disinformation" on the internet without even defining what disinformation is.
Thornton is a critic of NATO's escalation of the war in Ukraine and has posted several videos about Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilians and the secret existence of biolabs in Ukraine. He was also quick to report how a former Waffen-SS Nazi soldier was allowed to sit in the Canadian House of Commons Gallery during a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Yaroslav Hunka acknowledged plaudits from former House Speaker Anthony Rota and waved as all Members of Parliament rose from their seats and gave the 98-year-old SS veteran a standing ovation.
Thornton had just broadcast news of Canada's international embarrassment when the police arrived…

How convenient- now truedow and ilk can arrest anyone who runs agaisnt them for office.
All they have to do now is claim that their opponent was “spreading malinformation” and arrest them, and viola- no more opposition candidate to contend with
One of my all-time favorite movies.
Those dirty bastards I wasn’t around. I will not and have not tolerated poor treatment of anyone Americans or Canadians coming in. I didn’t waste 10 years and go over for 3 tours so I could watch people be harassed at a border for no other reason than because they think they’re untouchable and have prejudices against things and people. I’ve also seen some non Albertans in Alberta harassing a couple from GA once. I was grabbing my morning coffee at a McDees and had the pleasure of witnessing this. Those non Albertans won’t be back, at least not in that city. Sometimes max aggression is needed. It’s a main route to Alaska and I’ve only run into a few retarded Obama/Biden supporters. Most I run into are real Americans. The border is a joke though and most of us are tired of their idiotic shenanigans that they seem to get a free pass for.
I’m telling you. So many people think Russia and its leader Putin are bad yet the way it looks to me Russia is becoming more of a democracy and the West a dictatorship. Those who do, open your eyes please.
“UK Police arrest British journalist for posting ‘malinformation’ about Ukraine”
What, exactly, does the West even stand for when they go around arresting their own people because they post information which makes their leaders look bad? And is it REALLY worth World War 3 to defend these leaders?
Faggotry.
85 years later it looks like the Nazis may triumph over the UK after all.
Some years ago my husband drove up to Canada to deliver a trailer full of rifles to a police department. After doing mountains of paperwork to do this he gets to the border and they just waved him through. With a trailer full of firearms.
And you got hassled? Makes no sense at all.
One of them walked toward the Wall and the other one joined me on the small observation platform I was on. They both had binoculars and were looking at the guards in the big tower just beyond the Wall. The soldier with me then started waving at the guys in the East German tower (it was only about 50 yards away). As he was waving he said to me "they hate it when we do this".I asked him "do they ever wave back?" and he said "are you kidding?"
I'll never forget it.
Perhaps I should have made it clear that I’m a very devious looking fella! :-)
I like you already! (-;
I've been treated far worse by US Customs at airports...and land borders...than I've ever been treated by Canadian Immigration/Customs.
However,I was once treated horribly by South African Immigration/Customs years ago (during apartheid).
It’s a German thing.
And in Switzerland they just convicted a journalist to 60 days in jail for calling another journalist a “fat lesbian”!
When I referred to “When I referred to “Fifty-four Forty or Fight” in another thread, I was only joking. For real.
Williams was a nutcase of the highest order, and not a smart one.
How someone like that made it that far....actually never mind. We are talking about the Canadian air force lol. Nowadays, even the once fabled world famous infantry is a bloody joke.
The EU's Digital Services Act is discussed, too.
