A gilded cage is still a cage, and wrapping an iron fist in a silk glove doesn't change what it is.
Western governments trumpet their freedom, but just because their form of oppression isn't as brutal as a dictatorship doesn't make free. The UK being the worst offender in this regard.
AND it opens up the door for the state to lower its standards to be another North Korea once the cost of taking care of its citizens becomes too great.
Actually I’ll say a better example is Cuba. Poor as shit, failing infrastructure, angry citizens, still Commie.
Between Apple pulling a service from the UK than bend the knee, the PM openly saying he supports Ukraine only for them to bend the knee to Trump and agree to trade mining rights for aid and now this latest example of police state shenanigans.
We are under a duty to inform her that she is the subject of a complaint. The genuine threats that have been made to local councillors recently have meant it has been more necessary to ensure all reports are looked at.
Their entire gov has been hanging by a thread since the Southport riots. These whip cracks and attempts at silencing smack of desperation that the general public don't realize they're actually all in agreement about what politicians deserve.
Harassment and death threats are the white noise of public life. If a sufficiently large number of people are privy to your words and deeds, then you are guaranteed at least one of those people will be a mentally ill retard who crosses the line on social media.
The inevitable existence of such people is simply a fact of public life. So its bullshit when public figures shield themselves from criticism by appealing to “muh harassment” or “muh death threats”. If we can’t criticize someone so long as anyone, anywhere, is “taking it too far” - and it is guaranteed that at least one such person will exist - well then I guess we can’t ever criticize anyone who lives in the public eye. This is nonsense logic fostered by influential and powerful assholes in order to prevent completely justified negative responses.
The problem with the UK is that you have Commie & Commie-lite as the only 2 viable political options. Reform is still a decade away from political impact. If the UK can survive that long…
Just to clarify since OP seems a bit confused himself. The granny made the incredibly mild comments about the councillor resigning as comments on both public and private Facebook posts, in response to the private WhatsApp group chat messages the councillor sent being leaked publicly.
That's the still active councillor of the ostensibly more progressive UK party in a WhatsApp group called "trigger me timbers" wishing conservatives voters would die and laughing at them getting hit by trucks. The granny who got the stasi treatment just went on generic local Facebook groups and said he should resign for that.
When the next hitler comes along or napoleon comes along, we should just let it happen. These individuals mustve had a reason to do what they did. Europe cant survive without a literal hard reset when shit hits the fan so hard it splatters it all over the room. Picture.. beavis and butthead throwing burgerworld food at a ceiling fan.

Public education will have you believe they just woke up one day and for no reason whatsoever got millions of their country men to follow them and kill people for fun.
The UK is absolutely a police state on par with North Korea, possibly worse. Holy shit...

North Korea doesn't force its inhabitants to pay to have millions of invading African/Islamic men stay in public housing and rape their daughters.
Hence the qualifier "possibly worse".
You've got to be fucking kidding me...
Why are you surprised? They gave Samuel Melia TWO YEARS for having anti-immigrant stickers. STICKERS!

Airstrip One at it again.
But there WAS a crime committed ... the crime of insolence towards a Grand Imperial Minister!

The UK isn't a serious country, change my mind.
They’re serious the same way Democrats says their serious about “our Democracy”.

How did they discover this speech? Did one of the group turn her in?
As Orwell foretold.

I suppose going after Granny is way less scary than confronting rape gangs and actual criminals.
Way to go UK LEO. You're real heroes.
