UK Proposes Prison Time For Offensive Online Posts
Daily Caller ^ | 05/10/2018 | Amy Balog

Posted on 05/11/2018 6:38:46 AM PDT by Leaning Right

The Sentencing Council for England and Wales has drafted new guidelines proposing prison sentences of between 26 weeks and six years for social media posts deemed hostile toward a race, religion or sexual identity.

The proposals have been made in relation to the Public Order Act, which prohibits all activities “intended or likely to stir up hatred” against minority groups, including transgender people.

So, preaching the bible online is now a criminal offense in England. Amazing how over and over biblical prophecy keeps coming true.

"Unfortunately, George Orwell was right."

The only thing he got wrong was the date.

Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease that destroys everything it touches....including GB. It will eventually destroy the entire world.

I’d stay away from Old Blighty. The authorities are there to protect Muslims and punish everyone else for political incorrectness.

Speaking of Orwellian, computer screens in UK are now telescreens so Big Brother can watch each & every subject.

Besides, British food has always sucked, so why bother going?

Maybe it’s time to shut down all travel visa’s from the UK. Are these the people we want coming to our country?

How can anyone live there under these conditions. They all wear chains around their necks even if we can’t see them. Sad.

Time to start a revolt.

Get 20 or 30 million Brits to all post something ‘offensive’ on the same day.

Either sanity reenters the equation. Or the authorities built Auschwitz and Buchenwald on steroids.

It sure looks that way. So what happens when a UK Muslim denounces homosexuality, and in response a homosexual denounces Islam. Who goes to jail then?

I'm betting it will be the homosexual. But then again, the authorities might play it safe and just arrest some random straight white guy.

Must not offend the Poofters or the Muslims after all.

I wonder if the UK has statute of limitation laws. Because if they don’t, the Monty Python troupe is in real trouble. From their classic Bruce sketch:

Second Bruce: New-Bruce, are you a Poofta?

Fourth Bruce: Are you a Poofta?

Michael: No!

Fourth Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules: Rule One!

Every Bruce: No Pooftas!

I once thought it would be interesting to see the castles and old stuff, but nowadays I wouldn’t go there if someone paid me.
