Shocking cell phone video purportedly shows a police officer in the United Kingdom explaining how an army veteran was arrested over an anti-LGBTQ post he reshared online that had caused someone "anxiety."
The video was recorded by actor and leader of the British Reclaim Party Laurence Fox, who shared a meme on social media showing Pride flags altered into the shape of a swastika. He said the meme was meant as a commentary on the authoritarian nature of LGBTQ and transgender activists.
Fox began recording after Hampshire police arrived at the home of 51-year-old British army veteran Darren Brady, who reshared the meme of the Pride flag swastika online.
"I wish Hampshire police would realize how ridiculous this is," Fox is heard saying from behind the camera. A uniformed Hampshire police officer says, "Why did it have to come to this?"
"What did it need to come to?" Fox added, before the handcuffed veteran chimes in.
"I don’t understand. I posted something that he posted," Brady said. "You come to arrest me. You don’t arrest him. Why has it come to this? Why am I in cuffs over something he shared, then I shared?"
"Because someone has been caused obviously anxiety based on your social media posts," the officer responded. "That’s why you’ve been arrested."
In an appearance on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Fox denied that the video was missing any critical context to understand what happened and said, "the great tragedy here is that a British army veteran with a long service record who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, proudly served our flag, has now been arrested for not worshipping at the altar of the holy Pride flag."

I’m old enough to remember when the U.S. government tried to end free speech. Tyrants hate our freedoms.
They can’t even show the meme. It might cause someone anxiety.
The UK needs a Palestinian State. They are well on their way.
The irony is that this Nazism itself causes anxiety in a million times more people. Logically, that means all the police, politicians and magistrates should be arrested and tried for causing “anxiety” in the whole population.
Another nearby story says that 90% of college students le about their true beliefs about social issues to just get by in college and not get punished. That’s no different than the UK.
Why are we sanctioning Russia and not the Brits?
Stupid governments doing very stupid things
What happens if a native Brit is offended, or caused anxiety by muslim invaders?
Rhetorical question. He would undoubtedly be jailed for being racist. The UK is pitiful.
Thus proving the arrestees very point.
The UK has been finished for a while. They just haven’t realized it yet.
👍
What about his anxiety now being arrested?
Well the islamic grooming on indigenous children, prayer road blocks and open murder threats to all infidels gives me anxiety.
Will the police please arrest all the muslims?
They’ll let in every Arab terrorist scumbag that subjugates women and rapes them and commit all sorts of crimes; but means words by a native British person!? Too far!
Gosh, where could he ever have gotten that crazy idea? Officer?
