“Nottingham Magistrates’ Court heard the posts were alleged to contain anti-Muslim and **anti-establishment rhetoric**”
There’s no actual quotes or details in the article so don’t bother clicking it.
Crazy how openly supporting Hamas or other terrorist organisations and being anti semitic has no such response.
They need to be clearer about what exactly people have said and done and lay out exactly what constitutes an offensive. Holding and expressing “anti Muslim and anti establishment views” is an honestly quite scary threshold for prosecuting members of the public.
Are atheists going to be locked up now if they mock, satirise religion? At this rate we’re not far off Labour reintroducing blasphemy rules.
For example does this mean an atheist can’t post a cynical and highly critical comment about a certain religion, if it goes “too far”? What exactly is Ingsoc’s definition of too far when it comes to blasphemy? It’s all very unclear.
His alleged x/twitter is full of anti-immigrant / anti-Muslim stuff. Plus stuff against benefit claimants (including white) etc. “I want my country back” etc. Perhaps there were specific posts that went even further that have been taken down. Claimed the attacker in Southport was Muslim when it looks highly likely he is from Christian background and then lots of general stuff. Not just measured arguments against immigration but the strong insult type of language.
Has been posting for some time (well before the latest troubles) in strong language but similar to how some on reddit were referring to the Tories a couple of months ago. But there are laws against ethnic and religious hatred and not political hatred, so that will be why the law is now involved. Well involved now due to the riots.
Anti-establishment rhetoric, eh?
Starmbahnführer Keir strikes again.
Britain is not a free country, stop pretending otherwise
People jumping to conclusions without knowing exactly what he wrote. Perfectly fine to be outraged once you know all the facts, but the article is vague on what he actually wrote. Wait until we know more before raging.
Islamphobia is rife and will be rooted out. One day these people will see the light.
