We could have a discussion about European and British contempt for free speech, we could have a discussion about the 2,300 people allegedly depirved of free speech.  But no, its been transformed into another Jewish conspiracy thread.



I don't want to silence any of your views scouse. I think if you believe that jews are behind it all you should be able to say so,   But I would like to humbly suggest (with fash's permission of course) that you keep it to a few threads at a time and not turn every thread into a Jewish conspiracy  thread.

SCOUSE has his own thread for this, but still he won't keep it there.

I apologise, but it's normally when other people bring up the subject first....

Fash, do you believe that there is a 'deep state', whether Jewish or not? Or do you regard it as Conspiracy nonsense?

I know the answer to this one!  



I pray that Fash does too.

I suspect that she believes it's morally wrong to consider the possibility of a sinister cabal of uber rich elites influencing what goes on in the world.  



She's too nice for her own good at times that one!

I'm well aware there are a few powerful people around the world who wield enormous power....most are in the China and the oil rich Gulf states.

No Jews then?  

Nobody said that, but there are more Chinese, Arab and non Jewish whites, but your eyes only see the Jews..



You remind me so much of a former poster who blamed powerful Chinese for all of the West's ills..



It was harder to counter what he posted though with such a large, influential, highly educated and wealthy international Chinese community who, unlike Jews with Israel are nationalistic and loyal to China.

As of this year, Britain has now banned any advertising that portrays any gender in any stereotypical role.  



So, no more women in front of ovens, and no more men welding, I guess?



Not sure exactly the reason this even had to be implemented, but now you'll see only the 'Utopia' that they want you to see in British Ads...

I've said that ever since Scouse registered here. He is a clone of Gary Joak if you substitute Jews for Chinese.

I was in doubt about the 3,400 figure but this corroborates it



http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/13/british-cops-hunt-facebook-users-who-posted-offensive-comments-about-grooming-gangs/">http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/13/briti ... ing-gangs/">http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/13/british-cops-hunt-facebook-users-who-posted-offensive-comments-about-grooming-gangs/

Last paragraph

As reported by The Times in October 2017, British police arrested at least 3,395 people for making offensive comments on the Internet in 2016, across 29 police forces. The exact figures are likely to be significantly higher, as 13 police forces refused to provide the requested information.

3,400  or more people arrested for speech violations.  this is like something from the former Soviet Union or Cuba not a western democracy.

That is disturbing.

Here is the original article from the sunday Times--as part of registering I got two free articles so here is the sntire article posted



Nine people a day are being arrested for posting allegedly offensive messages online as police step up their campaign to combat social media hate speech.



More than 3,300 people were detained and questioned last year over so-called trolling on social media and other online forums, a rise of nearly 50 per cent in two years, according to figures obtained by The Times.



About half of the investigations were dropped before prosecutions were brought, however, leading to criticism from civil liberties campaigners that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech.



Arrests are expected to rise after Amber Rudd, the home secretary, last week announced a national police hub to crack down on hateful material online. Freedom of information requests have revealed that 3,395 people across 29 forces were arrested last year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to intentionally "cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another" with online posts.



It is a rise of nearly 50 per cent since 2014, when there were 2,315 arrests, and an increase of 23 per cent since 2015 when there were 2,755 arrests.



The total number of arrests under the act, which also criminalises public online messages that are "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character", is likely to be much higher because the request for data was rejected by 13 forces and two did not provide adequate information.



Data from two of the UK's largest police forces show big increases. The Met detained 867 people last year, up by 53 per cent from 2014. West Midlands police arrested 635 people, an increase of 877 per cent since 2014 when there were 65 arrests. The number of cases reaching the courts has remained stable. Last year 1,696 people were charged and 1,399 convicted.



The Police Federation said officers lacked the training to take investigations beyond an "online reading exercise". Simon Kempton, the federation's spokesman for cybercrime, said more needed to be done to improve online policing and blamed stretched resources for officers' limited knowledge.



The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) defended the rising arrest figures, saying officers had improved their ability to combat crime online as it continues to grow. Stephen Kavanagh, of the NPCC's digital intelligence unit, said forces had adapted well to the "changing nature of harm in our society".



Jodie Ginsberg, chief executive of Index on Censorship, a free speech campaign group, accused police of unnecessarily hunting internet trolls. She said: "These figures bear out what we've been saying: that police are wasting more and more time investigating people for comments online that are offensive but not criminal."



Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, said the Crown Prosecution Service emphasised section 127 was to be used only in "extreme circumstances". "But the problem is 'grossly offensive' is not something you should normally be prosecuted for. It's not showing harm to other people. It's not showing that somebody is being harassed . . . attacked or threatened."[/quote]
 

Again this is something right out of An Orwellain nightmare about thought crimes.  Or a third world shi....er hellhole  where people have no rights.



And its a dual cancer--not only is it affront to western values of free speech, it also takes police manpower away from apprehending real criminals.   Good going UK, you are well on your way to becoming a totalitarian leftist state.

If Briitain is to remain a leader they have to take the moral high ground. It is time for Britain to take a stand against Islamophobia.
