Inevitable West @Inevitablewest This is what is happening in Britain.

They’re raiding houses for words on social media while children are getting stabbed on the streets.

This is supposed to be where we are at right now.

The rest of the world is still on schedule.

Tell me again, why did we save Britain from the Nazis, just so that the British government could go Nazi all on their own?

This would have been the USA if Harris won and the Dems took the House and Senate.

Brits ‘citizens’ are paying full attention to what's happening here.......not sure they have the grit to rise against the yo-yo’s they just voted in....but they are certainly complaining loudly.

There is no free speech in the UK. Particularly if such speech contains negative comments about Muslims, immigration, or the Woke.

Also, everyone should keep in mind that Section 127 of the UK Communications Act (the one that allows the police to do this) was passed - and amended several times- by both the “Conservatives”, Liberals and Labour. No party opposed it. Goes to show how thoroughly the tyranny of “being nice and inoffensive” fascism has infested the entire political culture of the UK.

The UK is like a house that has rotted from the inside and now the termites are invading in large numbers, right through the walls, with hardly any resistance.

England must unite and force change. Change can not come from above—only from the Masses. A small group of left of center New Age idealists should not be inflicting its notions on the people—it always ends the same way—their will enforced by jackbooted police, jails, batons, and ugly force. It might have been better under Adolph Hitler and his fascist puppet.

It would have resulted in oppression and social chaos.

We got lucky that Donald Trump came along to save us.

We dodged a bullet — for now.

That’s kind of the bottom line. They’re going to soon see a revitalized and freer America that might make them come to their senses. We’ll see.

Yep. It’s not your grandfather’s Democrat party. Today’s Democrat leaders are itching to enact all sorts of “anti-hate” and “disinformation” laws.

And of course they alone get to determine just what is hate speech and disinformation.

Trump derailed all that. And what’s even better, Trump 2.0 is projected to appoint around 100 new federal judges. Each one of them will be an obstacle to the neo-fascist “progressives”

While on a business trip to London years ago I saw a billboard picturing several people standing behind someone in a wheelchair, with the caption “Support Your Local Spastic”. I wonder if that would be permitted today.
