Coming to your local college and university campus in the very near future. The part where you can be arrested....

Orwellian.

This is the kind of police state oppression that groups like the SPLC and the ADL have been trying to bring to America for decades. These groups and their allies having been trying to make an issue out of “harassment” on the internet in the last few years. Laws like the ones in the UK are the goal of that campaign.

A large portion of the younger part of the white population in the U.K. has been convicted of crimes involving drugs, alcohol and other offenses and is impoverished. The content of their public education is socially pathological and atrocious. Their starch laden diets lacking expensive protein and vegetables have made them fat and are killing them. They live under enormous stress with the fear of monstrous rental rates and fear of homelessness. It looks much like the situation in the U.S.A. but more so.

The regime of use of pretended exaggerated sensitivities is in part due to feminism, the divorce/cohabitation regime and employment policies against men. It’s all part of the path to eventual communism.

I’m not quite sure why we saved the British from Nazism.

They imposed a pretty Nazi-like regime all by themselves.

Eric Blair was certainly attuned to the fascist tendencies of his countrymen.

One wonders if the UK truly ever was a nation to be proud of. Sure doesn’t sound like it right now.

A moral affirmative always trumps political correctness regardless of what the law says.

When tyranny becomes law; rebellion becomes duty.

Thank you for the documentation of my statement.

Because England treated their empire like an ATM, lots of once servants are now free.
