UK COVID Cops Arrest Man For Handing Out Free Soup ( United Kingdom )

Police in the UK arrested a man for handing out free soup in a park, claiming that he had violated COVID-19 restrictions.

Nick Smith had been giving out free soup to people in his village for 17 weeks before Sussex Police intervened, claiming he had violated COVID rules by encouraging people to gather.

However, Smith cited exemptions under the rules for volunteering, which allows for up to 15 people to gather either indoors or outdoors.

Smith said he found the whole experience “very shocking” and insisted he was only trying to help people struggling with mental health issues as a result of the lockdown.

“Showing up every week and being a feature they can rely on is what I wanted to do. They just come because they don’t see anybody they don’t talk to anybody and they’re going crazy,” he said.

Sussex Police said people “providing a takeaway service are required to complete a risk assessment and adhere to Government guidance including social distancing and hygiene measures.”

Smith was handcuffed and given a court summons, but he has vowed to continue supporting his community.

“If not now when, people are going hungry, people are going crazy. If not now when,” he said.

As we previously highlighted, a plethora of videos have surfaced recently of police in the UK enforcing lockdown rules in an increasingly draconian manner, including one incident where a man was interrogated and arrested for refusing to provide his name.

Another man who insisted that he only lowered his mask to clean his glasses, which had steamed up, was also hauled out of a shop by cops after letting his face covering slip.

Another recent video showed police in London entering a home to break up a baby shower party after a neighbor snitched on the family.

“are required to complete a risk assessment”

The next time I see a Police officer in distress - and I have before - I will think twice before assisting in any way, including calling it in - until I have completed a risk assessment and had it checked over by my lawyer.

It’s getting really silly now in the UK.

“It’s probably this bad in our country too.”

Civil rights in the UK are all but a thing of the past. But the US is not far behind.

Police illegally and improperly demanding ID from citizens who are engaged in legal conduct are legion:

This fellow is making a fortune by suing idiots with badges who refuse to recognize Florida’s right to carry laws:

Police conducting illegal and warrantless raids and searches are ongoing despite the fact that these jackasses know better. But the individual cops don’t have to pay for the lawsuits so this behavior will continue.

Despite the police fetish for demanding people verify their ID the police themselves can’t be bothered to verify that the people they arrest are actually the people they’re looking for:

And let’s not forget that we now have a military garrison protecting our rulers in Washington DC from us.

This is a police state, our nation has suffered a coup, and the Marxists who set up all of this are going to use their willing accomplices with badges to cart us off to the camps.

Or worse.

The UK are plonkers compared to us when it comes to being a police state.
