"There's f**king kids about!"
A migrant exposed himself on a London overground train and started screaming at those who told him to pull his pants up.
Several Brits stepped in to throw him off the train.

Saying YOU DO NOT want your taxpayer money being used to fund "IMMIGRANTS THAT RAPE OUR KIDS" is apparently a crime punishable by 20 months in prison.
Free speech is dead.

Maxie Allen, a radio producer in Hertfordshire, was on a Zoom call at home when he saw police standing over his shoulder from the camera view on his screen. Six officers came knocking — his partner Rosalind Levine, who answered the door, thought their disabled daughter had died — to haul the couple off over comments they posted in a private WhatsApp group for parents at their children’s school.
In the chat, the couple had been repeatedly critical of the public school’s slow pace to recruit a replacement headteacher.
“It’s shaken the faith of the country I thought I lived in. I never imagined that just by airing your views about how an organization was run, trying to hold people to account in public office, that you get arrested for that,” Allen, 50, told the Post.
“If you have a vague law and then it’s enforced to an officious and stupid degree, then it’s always going to end in tears.”
Similar stories abound. In 2018 a man identifying himself as “Adam” phoned into the British talk radio station LBC to describe his encounter with police earlier that year.
“I’m Asian myself and I did this drawing of a mate of mine, who’s also Asian, and I said, ‘you look like a terrorist.’ And he took it really well. He thought it was funny,” he told the host.
But someone else saw the humorous doodle, took issue, and called police. Months later, Adam and his friend were interviewed by authorities — the friend told cops he laughed at the drawing and wasn’t offended — but police still made an official report for a “non-crime hate incident” and forced Adam to write a letter of apology to his friend, which he had to email to him.
Last year, 21-year-old student Jamila Abdi of East London, who is black, was charged under the Communications Act of 2003 for “indecent or grossly offensive [speech] for the purpose of causing distress or anxiety” after she used a version of the n-word in post on X out of frustration while watching a soccer match.
“I’m so p—-d off let me get my hands on that f—–g n—a,” she wrote about black footballer Alexander Isak. ...
The stories are so shocking, it’s caught the attention of the White House, which is taking an increasingly aggressive stance against censorship in the Eurozone. In a fiery address to the Munich Security Conference in February, Vice President JD Vance blasted “a crisis of censorship” in Britain.
On Tuesday, the US State Department’s annual Human Rights Report slammed British authorities’ “serious restrictions on freedom of expression,” writing that the “human rights situation worsened” in Britian over the last year, and criticized laws like 2023’s Online Safety Act.
“We consider freedom of expression to be a foundational component of a functioning democracy,” State Department press secretary Tammy Bruce told reporters, calling Britain’s chilling government actions “intolerable in a free society.” ...
This July, the Home Office announced it was assembling an elite force of special agents drawn from across the country to monitor speech on social media.
Also this summer, the UK government updated its definition of terrorist ideologies to include “cultural nationalism,” singling out Westerners who express concern over mass migration.

Yup. Friend of mine who lives there confirmed it.
Young lad arrested for saying, "we love bacon."
The police told him this is because it could be PERCEIVED as being "RACIALLY ABUSIVE."
Disgusting.

In Eastern Europe, by contrast, private lives were essentially ignored, Left doctrine was not aggressively advanced in most areas of life, and mild public dissent was generally tolerated, with the main tool of suppressing dissent being that someone seen as an excessively vocal enemy of the regime would have trouble getting a decent job… For a native Englishman opposed to the Regime, he must modify his life to comply with regime demands more than any Eastern European did in the 1970s or 1980s—even compared to a citizen of the more repressive Communist regimes, such as Rumania or Albania. And the UK is moving backward, becoming increasingly totalitarian as time passes, rather than less.
