Spinning in his grave.

BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian state...
The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven years' prison...
Robin Page said at a rally against the Government's anti-hunting laws in Gloucestershire in 2002: "If you are a black vegetarian Muslim asylum-seeking one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you." Page was arrested ...It took him five years to clear his name.
In September 2006, a 14-year-old schoolgirl asked a teacher if she could sit with another group to do a science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu. ...She was arrested and taken to a police station, where she was fingerprinted and photographed. She was placed in a bare cell for 3 1/2 hours.
A 10-year-old child was arrested and brought before a judge, for having allegedly called an 11-year-old boy a "Paki" and "bin Laden" during a playground argument (the other boy had called him a skunk and a Teletubby). When it reached the court the case had cost taxpayers pound stg. 25,000. The accused was so distressed that he had stopped attending school.
A Christian home for retired clergy and religious workers lost a grant because it would not reveal to official snoopers how many of the residents were homosexual. That they had never been asked was taken as evidence of homophobia.
Muslim parents who objected to young children being given books advocating same-sex marriage and adoption at one school last year had their wishes respected and the offending material withdrawn. This year, Muslim and Christian parents at another school objecting to the same material have not only had their objections ignored but have been threatened with prosecution if they withdraw their children.

There's nothing "soft" about arresting children for their thoughts. It's a hard totalitarian state. How do they put up with it?
No guns. It's easy. Just wait and watch.
There must be hurricane-force winds emanating from George Orwell's spinning grave, as Ingsoc becomes sad reality ...
Don't worry it will never happen here. We won't put up with it.
(Regrettfully, I'm being very sarcastic.)
It will get even harder,too.
You mean I won’t be able to tell jokes about Rag h....oops.
This is what we have to look forward to when Osama bin Obama and his accomplices in the kongress get their wet dream gun control laws passed.
Weapons can be made. Not advocating anything Ill Eagle of course. Just sayin’.
The only thing that gives me any hope at all is knowing that there’s only so much the soccer hooligans will take.
You said, "there’s only so much the soccer hooligans will take."
I think they're past the tipping point. They keep electing these totalitarians. Which means they've either terminally swallowed the kool-aid, or vote fraud has reached such massive proportions that there is nothing they can do.
I fear we are following in their footsteps, if we aren't already in the process of overtaking them. Especially in the taxpayer-funded vote fraud department.
“if she could sit with another group to do a science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu”
arrested for that! England is a joke. I’ll never go there.
I'd have a little meeting of the concerned parents and then withdraw all the affected kids en mass.
Let the evening news show dozens of parents and kids being hauled off to Old Bailey at gunpoint.

I think an attempt to register firearms will be the spark that ignites a conflagration in this country. I would hate to see it happen, but the arrogance of the Beltway, the Congress and WH is astounding.
And it might start here on FR, if it hasn’t begun already.
In the US Marine Corps, by comparison, anyone demanding a Satanist chapel on base would be taken to the whiskey locker and basically get his ass F'ed up. Probably pretty bad too.
They'd find a way to discharge them before the wounds healed.
My opinion is that it will start somewhere else, where it will take them by surprise. They expect it from us, we are the right wing insurgents they are watching. Remember, a bunch, maybe half of the democrats in the house do not represent 'safe' districts and must anwer every two years. This issue scares the pants off of them. The media is trying to help, but it aint working.
Spinning in his grave.
I've got nothing.
To be a “soccer hooligan” is to be a dumbed down welfare thing.
You’ve already been dehumanized by the system. Do people like this fight back against totalitarianism? Not if history is a guide.
