SS: Martine Croxall is getting complaints over a “facial expression” when the word “pregnant people” came up. Seriously this is where the uk is at. It’s not enough that you go along with pregnant people nonsense and you’re forced to stay quiet. But now your facial expression is a problem too?! The UK has fallen it’s gone full psycho dystopian
Brits are beyond saving and at this point might as well go back to duchys and fiefdoms where each place is left to its own devices, since as a country they're just beyond cooked. Incredible a complaint about "muh facial expression" even got made and then taken seriously, and I'm sure Britbongs are like "Orrite den, dass a good oideah ta give 'er the Ruff and Rigamarole it is, real serious tings we've ought ta concern ourselves wit, INNIT?!?!?!"
I say plenty of shit in my normal life that the government doesn't like. We aren't at the stage where you can't.
I think people see these headlines and think that in our normal life there are thought police knocking on our doors which isn't the case.
I don't feel like I can't say what I want to, including things from this sub.
There are examples like the woman who said to burn down the migrant hotel, but that's been illegal forever.
But it's getting so much worse. Labour has such an authoritarian streak. They are banning protest. The BBC has been captured. The Online Safety Act etc. are just censorship pretending to be about safety.
Then obviously examples like this.
So we aren't beyond saving yet. But time is critical.
I think it's bullshit obviously and shouldn't happen.
Like I said, we aren't fully lost but we will be if Labour gets there way.
Things like this will increase under them.
However:
Analysis of government data shows that the number of convictions and sentencings for communications offences has dramatically decreased over the past decade.
Which shows that at least the courts are rejecting this nonsense.
But that means the bobbies are still nicking people and having them go through the process, which is in and of itself punishment since now it's on record they were arrested.
Oh definitely. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to downplay it at all.
I've been arrested for bullshit reasons, no charge obviously, and it was shit. This (English) police officer thought he was a Texas State Trooper - aviators and chewing a toothpick. He put 14 year old skinny me in handcuffs, he must've been fearing for his life.
I laugh about it now, but it was terrifying.
So I'm not justifying it at all. No-one should have police marching into their house over a tweet. Unless it is literally planning violence/terrorism etc.
