Reminder that in the full democracy of the UK , you can be prosecuted for social media posts questioning the governments immigration policy.

No, you can't. You can be prosecuted for encouraging people to burn down a hotel though.

  • There are hundreds of elderly people in prison right now in the UK charged with supporting terrorism because they opposed a racism inspired nazi-style genocide. Greta was among them.

    0 have ever threatened or supported any kind of violence against any person ever.

    Social media posts on this topic are treated the same way as holding up a poster in public.

    • Why does that always need to be told like it's an either or thing? Why can't the stance that the Hamas are a terrorist organization, that is ultimately also screwing the local population and that Israel is committing war crimes, be accepted by "internet posters". I would say that is the position, that a lot of governments and people have.

    • Yeah, the proscription of support for Palestine Action was extremely indefensible. Different goalpost to your original post, though.
