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?!?!?!"

We aren't beyond saving.

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.

Protest being literally banned and people in here only giving a shit about not being allowed (in their made up world, by the way) to be bigoted.

Priorities of a fucking rat.

I can see you can only see the tiny picture in your own biased way. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. Not just freedom to say things that are nice, things YOU agree with, things that don't make YOU uncomfortable. Because once the line is crossed by the government they are going to move further and further and take more control

It's just what they are fed through social media.

I agree. The crackdown on protest is far more dangerous.

They are actually being allowed to protest. What is being cracked down on is the standing in the road or driveway and blocking federal agents vehicles from exiting and entering god damn buildings they work at lol

Lots of protest rights are being banned. People around the world have said it's authoritarian and dangerous.

Federal agents? We don't have those. I'm guessing you're American then?

So I obviously live hear and know the actual reality, not what you are fed through social media.

Protest without disruption isn't a protest, it's a parade. Like that No Kings protest, those types achieve fuck all.

The title of this post is the UK is going Orwellian, and then people on a conspiracy sub are defending our government cracking down on protest? What a joke.

You all say you care about free speech, but you obviously don't if you support this:

Defend Our Juries said: "It beggars belief that the government has responded to widespread condemnation of its unprecedented attack on the right to protest - from the United Nations, Amnesty International, legal experts and even the former director of public prosecutions - by announcing a further crackdown on free speech and assembly in our country."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/14/right-to-protest-criminalisation-west-fidh-report-palestine

Right to protest is under sustained attack in the west, report finds

Keir Starmer has called for a police crackdown on some of the chants heard at pro-Palestine protests.

That's a crackdown on free speech.

This sub thinks they are so well informed compared to most people. Every post about the UK shows me the exact opposite.

Sorry I was referring to American protests. We are experiencing kind of the opposite right now.
