Freer than Ever UK Free Speech

UK Prime Minister Keir Stalin . . . sorry, slip of the tongue, I of course meant to say Starmer . . . but anyway, he (Starmer) recently responded to Donald Trump’s ludicrous question about the supposed troubling situation of free speech in the UK, by eloquently stressing that the UK has a very proud tradition with regards to said issue of free speech, and would safely continue onwards in the vein of said upstanding and proud tradition. As if anyone seriously thought this was a question that needed asking . . . Ridiculous.

And below is a man being arrested by UK police for saying he likes bacon:





To add, I’ve seen the UK police sometimes be affectionately described by members of the grateful British public, in honour of their present and inspirational leader, as Starmtroopers. Oh and also a reminder that Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen during recent concerts in the UK interrupted the wonderful rocking music to helpfully inform the UK public that, four thousand or so miles away, Donald Trump was a threat to free speech. Thankfully I don’t think Bruce (The Boss), during one of these educational interludes, made any public mention of liking bacon, which would have put the UK legal system in a very difficult and potentially embarrassing position with regards of what to do next. 

Below, more Starmtroopers arrest a man, this time for calling someone a muppet. So, just to clarify, you can now be arrested for the thoughts or emotions that someone else says they didn’t enjoy experiencing, and which they say you influenced or induced. Or, as with the earlier video, even if someone else and their possibly vulnerable feelings isn’t there, you can still be arrested for the perhaps distressing feelings that this imaginary person might have experienced if they had been there after, for example, hearing you say that you liked bacon. Protect the vulnerable.

I’d say there’s almost no chance whatsoever of airtight hate speech protocols like those being used by the wise and benevolent ‘ruling elites’ in - how shall I put this - an unintentionally bad way.
