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

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;

under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to intentionally cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another introduced in 2016.Why do I get the feeling, that it would be perfectly ok, if someone insults white Christians, but not Muzzies?
