London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.
"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.
Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded. The murders, allegedly committed by a now 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents, sparked a series of violent protests that tapped into broader concerns about the scale of immigration in the U.K.
Footage of the violent clashes involving anti-immigration protesters and the groups of counter-protesters, some of whom have been seen waving Palestinian flags, has gone viral on social media, and the government is warning that sharing such content may have serious consequences.
One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking to critics is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.

WE licked them twice.
MOLON LABE!
Um, we are not England. If I want to say you are cheating, I can. Please bring friends. I won’t be home, I will be about 500 yards away.....

* 18-year-old British citizen born to Rwandan parents
A distinction without much of a difference.
The European UK Fascists are threatening to extradite and prosecute US Citizens for thought crimes ... too funny.
this is why the War of 1812 started, also get the HELL out of Nato.
To quote that guy in the castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: “PULL THE OTHER ONE!”
it’s a global world now, and things are global.
There is no way in hell this will be tolerated by patriotic Americans.
They have no jurisdiction to do so.
They have no arrest powers here.
Their laws are their laws and do not apply outside their socialist hellhole.
European UK Fascists will next try to impress US Citizens into their LGBTQFPP++ Navy.
NATO and the UN
They must think we’re Canada. Although Canada already prosecutes for this crap.
How’s that Commissioner? You are little fascist English twerp with an exceedingly small Y chromosome.
The part of that threat that is worrisome is not that the UK is making it; it’s that the current administration would probably allow the extradition.
Even China hasn’t tried to do that.
This sort of tyranny didn’t work out so well for the Brits the last time around, did it?
Won’t be going far, their propellor drive shafts not working too well lately.
A whole Twitter thread over here. (one of many)
Can he do that? I wouldn’t think so!
I say he’s talking stuff, just the scare the average Englishman into further silence and continued denial that they have allowed too many Muslim Madmen into Britain.
A President Kamala would happily hand over Americans to Britain, if it is discovered they are MAGA in their beliefs and voting habits. She would probably get her picture taken, cackling and High Fiving her Socialist Vice President Walz.
He’s welcome to try.
