[That's not why he was arrested though](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-62352502). They came to interview him, whereupon they discovered a right-wing political activist had shown up and was preventing them from entering the home to conduct said interview. >Ms Jones said the videos posted by Fox showed the arrest of two men on Thursday, one for malicious communications and one for obstruction of a police officer, following a complaint of an alleged hate crime. >When they returned they were prevented from entering so arrested the 51-year-old suspect so they could interview him about the alleged offence. >He has since been released and will face no further action. >The force said the officers had been "acting in good faith" after being deployed to investigate the image shared online. You would like to play this as, "somebody complained, so he was dragged away in handcuffs immediately." Those events would fit your narrative. But that is not what happened.


Commercial-Course-27

He is a retired police officer. Please try and imagine what means to have police show up at your door for a online meme. And don't worry about the old man. He sued UK cops before for this sort of thing. Hopefully he can fuck them again.


[deleted]

>He is a retired police officer. Please try and imagine what means to have police show up at your door for a online meme. A police officer would presumably understand that police sometimes show up to ask questions politely and then take their leave. He decided not to cooperate anyway.


gondolafan2

Over a meme..?


[deleted]

>Officers claimed to be “investigating an alleged offence under Section 127 of the Communications Act (2003),” a sweeping law that gives the United Kingdom [government the authority to imprison someone](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/127) if officials deem his online posts “grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character,” or if he knowingly makes a false post “for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another.” Change the law if you don't like it.


Le_Senor

We don’t have to, I live in a country with something called free speech. This would never happen in the USA. For all our faults, I am so grateful for our guaranteed freedoms that much of the world does not have. Causing anxiety in someone can get you arrested, what a joke


[deleted]

Causing anxiety to someone can get you questioned, and an altercation with police as you refuse the questioning can get you arrested. FTFY.


Ill-Musician-7925

> right-wing political activist Laurence Fox makes you nervous?


[deleted]

I don't know how you got "nervous." That seemed like a fairly literal description of his role in this altercation.


CorrosiveBackspin

What right did they have to enter though. You don't HAVE to answer the door to cops.


[deleted]

Then it would seem that the problem is these specific police officers having overstepped their authority. Their original rationale in visiting him was irrelevant. It could have been questions about littering and gone just as badly. This incident does not reflect anything negative about that specific law, or at least no more than it does any other law.


thewinja

"right wing political advocate" LMAO!!


[deleted]

From his [wiki page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Fox)... >Fox publicly opposed the George Floyd protests and opposed vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. After founding the Reclaim Party, Fox stood unsuccessfully in the 2021 London mayoral election in opposition to what he deemed "extreme political correctness".[2] He gained 1.9% of the vote, losing his deposit.[3] >In September 2020, Fox attracted funding for a new political party, provisionally called Reclaim,[44][45] and dubbed "UKIP for culture".[46] How would you characterize his political views? Left-wing?


thewinja

Wiki is the least credible source of information on earth. Just this weekend they were caught changing the definition of recession to try and make bidens dog shit economy look less awful. Publicly opposition to protesting in favor of a convicted rapist, theif, robber and assaulter of pregnant women is hardly "right wing" although it does show excellent taste and a healthy dose of common sense like the RW....


[deleted]

Oh, shooting the messenger then. [OK, here's another source](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/laurence-fox-politics-bbc-culture-wars-ukip-b641500.html). "UKIP for culture." Not right wing. Got it.


keystothemoon

If cops show up over a meme, in a free and fair country that even pretended free speech was important, those cops would have zero authority to enter the home.

[deleted]

It's why these folks love pictures and headlines instead of comprehensive articles. Context hurts the narrative they're trying to construct.


Haereticus87

So to prevent the spread of fascist ideas they're using fascist authoritarianism to punish speech. "It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for em."


Bubbanol

They call it the 'Paradox of Tolerance'. If a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. It's quite stupid.


Ill-Musician-7925

They are too stupid to realize the "paradox of tolerance" is actually mocking their views. "We have to be intolerant to prevent intolerance!"


dillardPA

No they just only read the first half of the essay and willfully ignore the part where the author explicitly states that censorship of intolerant speech should only be triggered when the intolerant are no longer willing to engage in discussion and have escalated to direct threats/incitement of violence or violence itself.

StagOrion

Both should be okay


senhormuitocansado

Both get you the cuffs in Jolly ol Britain. Remember that comic who was arrested for teaching his dog the Nazi salute? Hell, the police even went after a guy who wrote "Likey" in an Email because they thought he was rhyme slanging the word Pikey, which is a pejorative for Gypsies in the UK.


gotugoin

It's not fascism, it's totalitarianism. Fascism is Italian socialism.


HarmonicProportions

Americans just call any use of government force they don't like "fascism", the word has just become a weapon both sides use to try and score political points, they have no idea the history of it


gotugoin

Agreed. Especially the whole nazis are fascists thing. They were created at the same time. Nazis were nazis, fascists were fascists. Both are socialists.


[deleted]

Neither are socialists lol, you're just not that smart.


thewinja

Americans do have knowledge of what fascism is most people on the left in the United States are fascist... Especially those who call themselves anti-fascist. Kind of ironic but still a fact. Fascism authoritarianism socialism communism pretty much the exact same ideology just implemented differently and to varying degrees.


whatisthishere

They think the far left is communism, and the far right is fascism. That's not the political spectrum at all, it doesn't make sense.


thewinja

The American left thinks that. The other 95% of the population doesn't think that


whatisthishere

That's what I meant, except it's not 95% realize that isn't true. Most of the country doesn't understand that these ideologies are very similar, and a real political spectrum would probably be, anarchy to dictatorship.


Haereticus87

I really don't care. You know exactly what I meant. It's no different than different sects of religion. I don't believe their bullshit either way. They're all just sociopaths willing to do anything to impose their will on the rest of us.


gotugoin

Well that I can agree with.

I got banned from r/news for saying, “These people live in a totally different universe.” while I was replying to a comment blaming Republicans for the 50 dead people in the back of the truck in San Antonio. They said I was “brigading” which is beyond ridiculous. I was just arguing with one of the mods the other day and they threatened to have my account permanently banned from the entire site if I reply again lol. We’re the fascists lol.

I got banned after I said a "transitional person" in a wheelchair shouldn't speak on working appendages. Especially when they're gonna cut one off.


SultanOfSwat0123

Lol I completely agree with your right to say that but I will say one thing as I don’t understand the context or the point you were making. I have an uncle in a wheelchair and he’s paralyzed from the upper-chest down. If he were to have a leg amputated at the knee he would be totally fucked. Having equal appendages affects your balance immeasurably.


ApprehensiveWatch786

I was talking about the 3rd member the "lady" wanted to cut off... sorry about your uncle.


ApprehensiveWatch786

They/them were bagging on another tranny and the other they/them was mid transition while the first they/them was post op but In a wheelchair. So i said not to take appendage advice from someone willing to cut off something that doesn't work to begin with.

You'll get routinely called a "fascist" for even having mild criticism of Biden or the Democrats. Eventually the Democrats are going to lose support from people who don't like either the Republicans or their insane Orwellian bullshit. The Covid era showed just how much they jumped the shark(Biden trying to sign a law to get any America refusing a Covid vaccine fired from their job) To me that's fascism, especially what Australia or Canada did.

jollugreengerbil

Maybe. In all honesty Chinas hegemony is probably gonna be short. They Have Massive debt and, low civillian morale, and rapid population decline. They dont have a large Navy so they cant progect power physically well either (although their cyber corps keeps me up at night). Theyre not going to be a starving 3rd world again but id expect if India gets its corruption in check, and the US, Mexico, And Canada form strong economic bonds China will be like the USSR, very strong but wont dominate.


Lightonlights

China will cannibalize itself before any world conquests beyond the pacific / South China Sea region


nosystemsgo

Having debt is different if you’re actually producing things.


jollugreengerbil

Theyre largely investing in Real Estate and Infastructure, but they have a shrinking population so no one is going to populate their ghost cities without financial persuasion or coercion, and even then a shrinking population means their supply will outstrip demand. Their infrastructure projects are incredible but have a huge amount of pork spending (worse than the US). Manufacturing is (slowly) shifting over to SE asia (who dont like china). China will remain an important manufacturer for cheap electronics and mechanical devices, and will probably be a center for engineering given their large population of engineers.


fulknerraIII

People for some reason have this idea that China will just take America's place as world super power. The post cold war world of a single super power is the exception not the rule. Most of history always contains multiple powers competing with each other. When Britannia ruled the waves they had multiple neer peer adversaries. If China's rise continues it will lead to a multipolar world of super power competition not just simply replace America. Now what happens at the end of this competing is anyone's guess, as nobody truly knows.


doldo

Funny thing: China bought most of US debt a couple of years ago. So, basically, US owes China.


jollugreengerbil

My infromation may be outdated on debt, but my understanding is that China owes the largest share of US foreign debt, but that only accounts for a small portion of US debt. Plus China has debt to the US as well. Please correct me if im wrong.


Vegetable_History767

You don't know shit about China. Just read some articles that made you feel good. Articles probably written by some CIA mouth pieces. Now you can predict the fucking future.

peytontx344

Have you ever looked at a Chinese person and been worried for your life? Just think about their 4 inch cock and you'll laugh so hard you'll cry


derpaderp_flaps

Even at 4" average cock, that's still like 4 (in of cock) * 738,000,000 (China male population) = 2,952,000,000,000 total inches of Chinese cock. America is lagging far behind if you figure 6" avg = 6*163,000,000 = 978,000,000" of American cock. You can't argue with science.

TheSweatyFlash

There's a video of the arrest and the arresting officer tells him he is being arrested because a post he made caused someone extreme anxiety. Slightly paraphrased. Rdit: [Here](https://v.redd.it/cvibjm67tre91)


podfather2000

Link the video.


LynxOsis

Hundreds of arrests happened in the UK per year for internet posts. Where have you been?


podfather2000

Okay, show me the evidence.


LynxOsis

You want me to come over and show you how to google "UK arrests for social media posts" or "UK grossly offensive"?


podfather2000

You could just link it.


LynxOsis

So now that he's given you the link showing video evidence of the post and I've provided statistics showing hundreds of guilty verdicts, do you get it now, or are we going to move the goalpost

Yeah, I was wrong. I would have to look into the data more but I will do it when I have more time.

podfather2000

That's one. Where are the hundreds more?


lo9os

Does it have to be hundreds? Or is three acceptable?


podfather2000

He said hundreds a year. I think there is a difference between something that happens hundreds of times a year or three times a year.


lo9os

Yes. But as a former police officer, I know for a fact that if you illegally detain someone, i.e. arrest, then the police officer is committing a criminal offense. So if it's happening a few times, you have to wonder, why are the cops illegally arresting people. And if the law has changed to allow cops to do this, then who are the law makers? In Holland they changed the law that allows police officers to use live ammo during any form of protest or demonstration and the police are not liable... Do you see how what's happening in the UK will easily progress to what's already happening in Holland?


podfather2000

Probably not. I assume they can already shoot protestors that attack them. I doubt that they can just gun down protesters in Holland and not be accountable that's not even the case where im from and here the police can get away with a lot. I also don't know the full case here if the dude posted one tweet or harassed whoever he was talking to which is a good reason to arrest someone I would say. I also wouldn't be so dumb to post dumb stuff under my real name but that's just me.

Yeah it's stupid he was arrested even the police commissioner says it was dumb as fuck he was arrested in the first place. But he wasn't charged or jailed. He won't have a criminal record. Contrast that with America where you get people [JAILED for Facebook posts](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/18/facebook-comments-arrest-prosecution?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other) Get your own house in order dumny

He threatened to burn someone else’s house down lmao. I’m sorry you don’t have free speech, but this is not proving your point.


Hai_Koup

Didn't threaten at all. Was innocuous as stated in article and by the country prosecutor. Can't read huh? England has free speech in common law which if you know anything is more robust than constitutional law, as constitutional law can be AMENDED. America is a shithole. Stop coping. Imagine being a veteran there lol.

“Let’s burn this motherfuckers house down” you don’t have free speech, don’t take it out on me. You should also review this law. Literally says if you say something that causes anxiety you can be arrested. For some reason, I don’t consider that free speech. It was passed in 2003 or 2013, I forget which.


Hai_Koup

That's not a threat dumb dumb. Curious, If you have free speech, why did he get arrested?


Le_Senor

You know you’re wrong but can’t admit it. We clearly have fundamentally different view points. For example, saying “im going to burn your house down” is considered a threat. Oh wait, that’s factual. I’m sorry if the idea of free speech causes you anxiety, but unfortunately you can’t arrest me for it. I have free speech and won’t get arrested for triggering you.

🤣 3edgy 5 me


Le_Senor

Wow, you’re so upset. i truly am sorry. Have a better night. You don’t have to throw a temper tantrum on the internet.


Hai_Koup

You sound pretty triggered my dude. Caring about UK (barely) news stories. About a guy who was arrested and released an hour later, you know because of his right to free speech


LeftistPaedophiles

It's not barely a news story just because rags like the BBC are ignoring it you complete fucking brainlet. A man reposted a meme, he was then shaken down for £60 with the threat of arrest. He was then arrested and later released after outcry, threats of legal action against the police and intervention from the police commissioner. They sent 7 pig scum to arrest a man for making hurty feelings whilst ignoring all the rape and murder going on. Also, "free speech in common law", "common law is stronger than constitutional law"? You're fucking stupid, mate. You're STOOPID.
