Joking aside Herr Starmer seems a weak man well out of his depth, not looking good.

One can only wonder just how much worse it would have been if Comrade Corbyn had ever been elected.

My first thought would be that Labour would be rife with division and he would not last long? The Night of the Long Knives has passed for  Reichsleitung Starmer

This is ominous and unconscionable.

Labour to 'Define' Islamophobia So It Can More Easily Continue Its War on Native Brits UPDATE

 

[...] What has happened to that stalwart race of "stout-hearted fellows" who wrote the Magna Carta and forced a king to sign it?  The country whose principles from which we developed our own glorious American vision of freedom from government oppression now warn...no.

 

THREATENS its citizens openly in such a manner.  [...]

Gonna Lock Up the Whole Country?  Judge Warns Even 'Curious Observers' of Riots Will Be LOCKED UP

 

It's been a banner week for the United Kingdom.  Amid riots and protests over the stabbing of children at a Taylor Swift dance class (where three children died and several more were seriously wounded), UK law enforcement has tried to block non-UK IP addresses and threatened to extradite and imprison Americans for social media posts.  The UK Secretary of State says those unhappy with unfettered migration (and the associated cultural fallout and crime) will be punished to the 'fullest extent' of the law for speaking out.

 

Now they've doubled down and it's a crime to even look at the riots.  You don't have to be a participant in the riots, you don't have to post anything 'offensive' on social media.  You just have to look.  [...]

The Guardian is an excellent source of study material.

US Attorney-at-law, Bryan Reo, provides a fascinating breakdown and detailed analysis on the veiled threats by UK Government to extradite Elon 
Musk for prosecution for his remarks on X.

 

 

 

So in my life time there has always been a limit to Free Speech, the classic example I remember was crying Fire in a crowded theater.

 

However there has always been the ability to go further and it is now been weaponised for political reasons.

1) Britain is hosed.

2) If a Colonist posts something objectionable and later tries to visit Britain, will he be arrested upon entry?

British Top Cop Threatens American 'Keyboard Warriors' Posting About Riots:  'We'll Come After You'

 

London Metropolitan Police Chief Sir Mark Rowley issued an empty warning to Americans during a press conference on Saturday. 

 

He's welcome to try to come here and enforce his silly anti-free-speech laws.  I would caution Sir Mark that there are some places—like most of Texas, Florida, and any place he sees the Confederate battle flag—where he should tread very lightly or not at all.  [...]

UK Police Threaten to Extradite, Jail Americans Who Criticize Them

 

[...] The crackdown on the protesters has been brutal, but now the Chief of London's Metropolitan Police is seeking to up the ante considerably.  Not only don't they want people protesting in the streets, but they are looking to silence any complaints being made online.  And he's not limiting the threat to only UK citizens.  He's threatening to extradite and imprison Americans who sympathize with the cause of the protesters.  This is a position that he needs to rethink very quickly.  [...]
