UK Police Commish Threatens to 'Come After' Even US Citizens Like Elon Musk for Exercising Free Speech

It’s long been a known fact that the United Kingdom’s dysfunctional legal system likes to punish thought criminals. That’s already problematic for those who value individual freedoms, but why stop at those who speak inside the borders of the U.K.?

In what might be the most deluded and grandiose threat yet made by a sitting British state official since riots have consumed the country over the past few weeks — which really is saying something, if you’ve been following — the chief of London’s Metropolitan Police warned those who Have Opinions™ on what’s happening in the U.K. and post them on social media, even if they’re abroad.

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley should spend some time at Gitmo as a guest of the United States so he can be "debriefed" on the results of the American Revolution.

Is it time for a boycott of UK products? When Trump wins he needs to use make the threat of trade sanction on the UK, if they won’t respect free speech.

A little kid on a playground waving his play Harry Potter wand at us and shouting imprecations. If I had boots on I’d be shaking in them.

Insanity. Even the CCP don’t try this. He thinks the internet expands his authority to everywhere.

I worked with plenty of Brits. They usually have an attitude of superiority. They just remind me of Monte Python.

Because it's bad for business. Like for trade and tourism.

Again, I say Mark come and get me. I’ll post whatever I damn well please from right here in Charlotte, NC. If you don’t like it, you’ll just have to pucker up and kiss my rosy red ass. Got that buttercup? There isn’t eff all you can do about it. So you’ll just have to suck it.

Regards,

Dear boy.

When you are from a collapsing two-bit country that is sliding into irrelevance you need arrogance to console yourself.

I work with a Brit woman and she talks about how Americans have no culture. I told her that at least the US isn’t dotted with castles built over the bones of serfs. And none of our leaders beheaded their wives.

This isn’t 1776. This is woke politics vs American and British traditions.

You're not supposed to know that, ... or say it.
