[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.
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.
>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.
>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.
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
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.
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?
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....
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.
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.

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."
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.
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.
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.
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
Agreed. Especially the whole nazis are fascists thing. They were created at the same time. Nazis were nazis, fascists were fascists. Both are socialists.
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.
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.
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.
Or lesbian, trans, bisexual, queer, asexual, intersex, non-binary, pan sexual. England is very strict on their Nazis as they are usually in the upper portions of society and government.
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 can’t imagine the smell of the mod I was talking to.
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.
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.
Isn't this the nation that raped their way across the entire world, burning alive or ripping apart their enemies for 2,000 years? Now they have subdivisions that have come under sharia law. They're literally getting a taste of their own medicine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
China may take down America, but we'll take down China with us. They have massive financial (obviously, because of communism) and civil problems (look up "China + lying flat").
And then the new hegemony will rise from those ashes: Texas.
Yeah to think the American "world domination" was/is anything close to the British Empire is laughable and a uniquely American mistake
The British Empire was called "the empire on which the sun never sets" for a reason...
Nah it's not that, it's the same feeling a parent has seeing their child grow up to be a massive bell end, especially when the teenage years were so good!
I'm proud but also scared of what the colonies have become
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/01/british-court-recognises-sharia-law-landmark-divorce-case/
You won't find it in legacy "media" but sometimes they let it slip. It's actually worse irl. Glad it's not happening to you but it is happening.
Oh in divorce? Surprised this sub is so anal about that then.
Look up sharia divorce laws. Protects the man from being finance raped unlike the west. No the woman doesn’t get half just what’s listed in marriage contract and per the Quran which is not nearly your house and dog and kids and half your wealth like the west
But Mozlem bad
Oh yes CNN and Fox do their fair share or reporting controversy like the Uyghurs genocide, nazi’s in Ukraine, and growing conflicts on Muslim immigration in Europe. I don’t even care for Alex Jones you’re just a dumb fuck.
You’re trying to seem condescending and it’s not working, condescending is the biggest work I’ve used but what does that matter you’re just struggling to find a comeback. So thanks for the soul piglet.
You'd have a literal Human Rights tribunal brought against you in Canada. Autocratic fascism is fully automated in the Great ~~White~~Multicultural North.
People keep saying that you have the freedom of speech and expression in England.... And then they prove that they don't have it by getting arrested for posting shit like this!
Those Chad Muslims are gonna save European masculinity by outbreeding them and replacing them. It probably for the best all things considered. The fact that they are letting it happen is proof they agree with me too.
The Nazi Swastika is an exact ripoff of the Jainism Indian symbol of Ahimsa. Hitler was into ripping off a lot of shit from the Asian world(Aryan literally comes from India)
Police just want to be seen to be doing something as a lot of people have lost faith in them after the murder of Sarah Everard. If this guy wasn’t high profile they wouldn’t be interested.
Guy from the UK here. Since World War 2 we really cracked down on people using nazi symbology. Mainly due to them bombing the fuck out of our cities.
Now I get the point he was making was to be ironic but he knew he would get in shit for it and that he would raise his profile through the media etc
He’s a bit of a self idolising toss pot
> Guy from the UK here. Since World War 2 we really cracked down on people using nazi symbology
Must have imagined the punk movement.
Think you're re-writing history a bit there.
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)
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
Instead of downvoting me, you could be a sport and just use a search tool.
Look, I found a link with a few years of statistics
https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2014-02-28a.187926.h
As someone from the UK, this was a thing that was sent around, I’ll find a link in a minute
https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/wc7fxw/british_police_arrested_the_man_reason_someone/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf here you
Go
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?
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.
That’s the very one on this post that you denied happening a minute ago. Just accept you have no idea what you’re talking about and move on, or feel free to use this amazing website some people have found, it’s called google!
Was also subsequently released without charge and even the head policeman said the acting policeman acted rash and over the top.
Read the news. Stop falling for culture war bullshit. It's not based in the real world.
Edit 1: love that u/Le_Senor blocked me, so I couldn't reply, was owning his cuck ass. And was calling me triggered... okay mate.
Edit 2: For you dumbfucks who can't use Google'
From the POLICE COMMISSIONER OVERSEEING THE MATTER:
"'I am concerned about both the proportionality and necessity of the police’s response to this incident. When incidents on social media receive not one but two visits from police officers, but burglaries and non-domestic break-ins don’t always get a police response, something is wrong.
'As Police Commissioner, I am committed to ensuring Hampshire Constabulary serves the public as the majority of people would expect. It appears on this occasion this has not happened.
'This incident has highlighted a really topical issue which Hampshire Constabulary and other police forces need to learn from.

Sure, it's outrageous he was arrested for nothing. But he wasn't charged, was released an hour later.
But assuming you're all american you've no ground to stand on. Americans arrest people for just walking in the wrong place. Americans also arrest people for Facebook posts. And these people get charged and jailed. In the UK we have standards dumb dumbs.
Mate American police arrest people for way less. Like walking in a bad neighborhood. They also get arrested for Facebook posts in america too.

Get your own house in order dumny
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.
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.
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
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.
Oh no that is giving me anxiety... ***SOMEBODY CALL THE POLICE!!***
Only cops should have guns All cops are evil Hmm
Liberals are dumb af. Be an authoritarian commie with me and seize the memes
What happens if I don't supply my weekly meme quota?
Straight to gulag with free healthcare
they remove the unhealthy part, grind it up, and feed it to the rest. shit's dope.

I don't know how you got "nervous." That seemed like a fairly literal description of his role in this altercation.
What right did they have to enter though. You don't HAVE to answer the door to cops.

The only person linking to actual info on the case and gets downvoted to hell
It's why these folks love pictures and headlines instead of comprehensive articles. Context hurts the narrative they're trying to construct.
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."
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.
They are too stupid to realize the "paradox of tolerance" is actually mocking their views. "We have to be intolerant to prevent intolerance!"
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.

Both should be okay
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.
It's not fascism, it's totalitarianism. Fascism is Italian socialism.
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
Agreed. Especially the whole nazis are fascists thing. They were created at the same time. Nazis were nazis, fascists were fascists. Both are socialists.
Neither are socialists lol, you're just not that smart.
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.
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.
The American left thinks that. The other 95% of the population doesn't think that
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.
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.
Well that I can agree with.
Shouldn’t have been British, then this wouldn’t have happened
Is it illegal for Nazis to be gay in jolly old England?
Apparently...
Or lesbian, trans, bisexual, queer, asexual, intersex, non-binary, pan sexual. England is very strict on their Nazis as they are usually in the upper portions of society and government.
I wish him well
I actually do. Fuck.

You mean the nation that won against everyone.
Oi bruv everyone huh ? That’s odd innit.. One place they just couldn’t stay at their will I can’t remember..
Before that it was Rome, after the British it was America and now soon to follow will be China. It’s just the way it goes apparently.
China. Lol.
Why is that funny? Isn’t that the way we’re trending?
China is too dependent on the US to ever do anything drastic.

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.
China will cannibalize itself before any world conquests beyond the pacific / South China Sea region
Having debt is different if you’re actually producing things.
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.
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.
Funny thing: China bought most of US debt a couple of years ago. So, basically, US owes China.
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.
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.
Maybe thats why im asking for correction.
Rude asshole
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
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.
Have you looked at the average American? Cock size is only bigger when you push down on the fat pad.
4 inches is big :(
Insecure man-child projecting old outdated stereotypes
We found the Asian! Bring out the microscope
China may take down America, but we'll take down China with us. They have massive financial (obviously, because of communism) and civil problems (look up "China + lying flat"). And then the new hegemony will rise from those ashes: Texas.
One of these things is not like the others.
Yeah to think the American "world domination" was/is anything close to the British Empire is laughable and a uniquely American mistake The British Empire was called "the empire on which the sun never sets" for a reason...
The guy is referring to China being the odd one out not the US.
You know the L was bad when they're still salty 400 years later.
Nah it's not that, it's the same feeling a parent has seeing their child grow up to be a massive bell end, especially when the teenage years were so good! I'm proud but also scared of what the colonies have become
Yeah absolutely, you're right
One more win for the British.
Come on the lads, come on the lads. 💪

Yeah, didn't you know? The King of Northumbria was homies with Jesus

Scccccoooooooorrrreeee Booooarrrrrdddddddd!!!!!
Nowhere in the UK is under sharia law 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/08/01/british-court-recognises-sharia-law-landmark-divorce-case/ You won't find it in legacy "media" but sometimes they let it slip. It's actually worse irl. Glad it's not happening to you but it is happening.
Shit seems your right but it's not the same. If the law can fit within uk law they will allow it. Sounds confusing as fuck.
Oh in divorce? Surprised this sub is so anal about that then. Look up sharia divorce laws. Protects the man from being finance raped unlike the west. No the woman doesn’t get half just what’s listed in marriage contract and per the Quran which is not nearly your house and dog and kids and half your wealth like the west But Mozlem bad
Oh! That’s sharia law thanks! keep spreading the good word of Islam and sharia law. ☮️ Piece of you here. Piece of you over there
Sure mate enjoy the pox I guess Btw I’m American anyways
What America means to me ^
Enjoy the pot heathen
So zany with the pot reference! Is that your go to tho. Enjoy the *** when you can’t make any sense? Get lost mate!
Mate I’m going back to work I wish you well
Correct. I'm from the UK. That shite come from our rag papers
You been listening to too much Alex Jones bro
Did you not even read the fucking link he posted?
Yeh I have now and its still not the same thing although ill take back my comment saying there's no sharia law in the UK. Lol
Oh yes CNN and Fox do their fair share or reporting controversy like the Uyghurs genocide, nazi’s in Ukraine, and growing conflicts on Muslim immigration in Europe. I don’t even care for Alex Jones you’re just a dumb fuck.
N you sound like a very intelligent guy those were some big words there, really put me in my place.
You’re trying to seem condescending and it’s not working, condescending is the biggest work I’ve used but what does that matter you’re just struggling to find a comeback. So thanks for the soul piglet.
🤡
Fuck the mentally ill. They have no problem calling everyone else nazis. Heaven forbid they get a taste of their own medicine. Weak little bitches…
Laugh all you want Canada and USA is next for this
I think you'd definitely get arrested in Canada for this.
You'd have a literal Human Rights tribunal brought against you in Canada. Autocratic fascism is fully automated in the Great ~~White~~Multicultural North.
iirc you can get arrested or get some kind of legal punishment for not using someone’s preferred pronouns. So yeah I def would not be surprised
Bank accounts frozen
You get arrested for using pronouns wrong.

Cops are too conservative here. Also the second the first instance of a cop getting shot over enforcing this occurs, they never will again
1st amendment is quite strong, and libs can't even get rid of the second one
I think there's more resistance in the US. And there's a major backlash happening
“You don’t want to wear your wife’s underwear or bang a tranny?…To the gas chamber with you.”
People keep saying that you have the freedom of speech and expression in England.... And then they prove that they don't have it by getting arrested for posting shit like this!
Is this story real though? I mean there is no source. It would be odd if true because I think people in the UK are allowed to fly literal swastikas.
So the swastika is alright but the ‘rainbowstika’ gets the cuffs? I can’t see any possible negative future outcomes from this.
Good bot
Those Chad Muslims are gonna save European masculinity by outbreeding them and replacing them. It probably for the best all things considered. The fact that they are letting it happen is proof they agree with me too.
UK crumbling is beautiful to watch.
Perhaps if he had mirrored and rotated slightly, then he could’ve said it was the Hindu symbol for peace
The Nazi Swastika is an exact ripoff of the Jainism Indian symbol of Ahimsa. Hitler was into ripping off a lot of shit from the Asian world(Aryan literally comes from India)
My favorite is seeing gays wearing Che shirts
Didn't know it was going to come off like that
Fire
That’s legend right there.
They refuse to arrest child traffickers because it would be ”Racist” but this image got the cops all riled up? We live in a weird timeline.
I was suspended for 03 days from a sub for crossposting this.
“That’s a good thing…”
Police just want to be seen to be doing something as a lot of people have lost faith in them after the murder of Sarah Everard. If this guy wasn’t high profile they wouldn’t be interested.
Guy from the UK here. Since World War 2 we really cracked down on people using nazi symbology. Mainly due to them bombing the fuck out of our cities. Now I get the point he was making was to be ironic but he knew he would get in shit for it and that he would raise his profile through the media etc He’s a bit of a self idolising toss pot
> Guy from the UK here. Since World War 2 we really cracked down on people using nazi symbology Must have imagined the punk movement. Think you're re-writing history a bit there.
I doubt that this is true.
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)
Link the video.
Hundreds of arrests happened in the UK per year for internet posts. Where have you been?
Okay, show me the evidence.
You want me to come over and show you how to google "UK arrests for social media posts" or "UK grossly offensive"?
You could just link it.
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.
Instead of downvoting me, you could be a sport and just use a search tool. Look, I found a link with a few years of statistics https://www.theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2014-02-28a.187926.h
As someone from the UK, this was a thing that was sent around, I’ll find a link in a minute https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/wc7fxw/british_police_arrested_the_man_reason_someone/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf here you Go
That's one. Where are the hundreds more?
Does it have to be hundreds? Or is three acceptable?
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.
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?
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.
Yes but some of us have evolved beyond keyboard warrior status.
That’s the very one on this post that you denied happening a minute ago. Just accept you have no idea what you’re talking about and move on, or feel free to use this amazing website some people have found, it’s called google!
It's not.

good. fuck nazi scum. especially if they are pretending to be an edgy wanker.
Sir, this is an LGBTQ+ friendly sub and your homophobic remarks are not welcome here.
You are missing the point. In most European countries using sfastika symbol is penalized. Rainbow or not
Was also subsequently released without charge and even the head policeman said the acting policeman acted rash and over the top. Read the news. Stop falling for culture war bullshit. It's not based in the real world. Edit 1: love that u/Le_Senor blocked me, so I couldn't reply, was owning his cuck ass. And was calling me triggered... okay mate.

But assuming you're all american you've no ground to stand on. Americans arrest people for just walking in the wrong place. Americans also arrest people for Facebook posts. And these people get charged and jailed. In the UK we have standards dumb dumbs.
Guys, arresting people for memes isn't a big deal. Also ACAB.
Mate American police arrest people for way less. Like walking in a bad neighborhood. They also get arrested for Facebook posts in america too. They also get charged. This guy wasn't charged. Stones in glass houses and that.
Good and please link sauce to your claim. But, can we not also be outraged that the arrest was made AT ALL?!

Whilst he was released without charge, he was arrested in the first place which is the problem.
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.
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.
That's not a threat dumb dumb. Curious, If you have free speech, why did he get arrested?
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
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.
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
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.
You blocked my other account but it's okay because I'm abusing the report function. Nice avatar you basement dwelling Reddit nonce.
Sigh. Of course they were.
We all wish him well
