This is horrific-- like something out of an Orwellian Dystopia or somewhere like Cuba or the former soviet union. This should never be happening in a western demcoracy
Congratulations britain you are well on your way to becoming a left wing totalitarian state.

I was in an argument on fakebook the other day with a leftist who denied any censorship exists in the west.

Not all countries have a bill of rights like we do. I don’t think there are guarantees that countries have freedom of speech. England decided not to have them. Why should it be any of our business.

Seems like when I saw a small part of "Fahrenheit 451"(?) it seemed like it was Great Britain. But I don't know where it was actually filmed. The only part I saw was a police chase scene where the chase was ended to save money. Did I get the right movie or am I confusing it with "1984"? I only saw about 30-60 seconds of the movie so I'm guessing.
Gien the oppressive nature, this seems worthy of a Bible prophecy ping.

Some people are just plain neurotic and they don’t need anyone else to make them feel “needless anxiety”.

Religious conservative should be making this a religious question rather than a political one which the one worlders that should be called globull fascists are reluctant to seize on; Here is an example;

I read about one guy in the UK getting arrested for putting heavy wire screen on his windows. They said a burglar might get cut when climbing through the window. WTF?

They ignore or dismiss the truth. They have been thoroughly indoctrinated. They are the greatest Useful Idiots in history.
I no longer waste time with them. It is useless.
