supersquirrelShe was arrested for holding a protest sign in small-town California: ‘This is a testing ground’
But Britain has the free speech problem apparently…
They do. This is a (so far) rare occurrence. Britain is notorious for this. Almost as bad as China.
People here get arrested for being abusive and threatening towards other people.
Not for being critical of the government.
That isnt a free speech issue, that is law enforcement acting on complaints from real people.
If you threaten to burn my house down, damn right the police should be arresting you for it.
I got arrested on terrorism charges for holding a sign that said ‘I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action’, in Parliament Square. Our government is pushing to reduce the amount of court cases that are tried by jury because the public generally agree with environment and anti war protestors’s motivations.
The government’s proscription of Palestine Action was deemed an over reach but they are appealing the decision. So I am currently still considered a terrorist by our government. How is it that you can think the UK can look down on any other country in this regard.
