"Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government: When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates," Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, the Pennsylvania Gazette.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." – The Constitution of the United States of America.
The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is nose–diving into authoritarianism after a plethora of anti-free speech laws, geared towards citizens with opposing political beliefs, is putting dissidents into prison, while degenerates and pedophiles who partake in child pornography are set free.
In 2022, then Prime Minister Boris Johnson introduced a new "bill of rights," which was presented to the public in such a way to make it appear to protect the free speech of British citizens. However, the bill contained a clause – the laws created by ministers would be exempt, it would not protect the people from threats posed by the government, and would in actual fact, extinguish government accountability.
Online threats of violence, encouraging self–harm, and transmitting deep fake pornography became illegal in 2023, when the U.K. government passed another controversial law, the "Online Safety Act," which was pitched as a way to protect children from pornography, cyberbullying, and harassment.
Both laws ride on the back of the Public Order Act 1986, which is "an act to abolish the common law offenses of riot, rout, unlawful assembly and affray and certain statutory offenses relating to public order; to create new offenses relating to public order; to control public processions and assemblies; to control the stirring up of racial hatred."
According to a report from the National Review, Britain is in the grip of two–tier policing, and a two–tier justice system.
Online "right-wing" social media users accused of "publishing online material intended to stir racial hatred," have been sentenced to prison terms of three years. Meanwhile, a man who murdered a 14-year-old boy with a machete, received a 6-month sentence.
The report published dozens of examples of depraved criminals – whose crimes include sharing thousands of images of children being abused – being dismissed from their cases or handed lenient, short sentences; while the smallest internet infractions that are perceived as "inciting violence," are being punished severely.
In late July, an unprovoked knife attack that killed three young girls and injured eight others at a dance class in Southport, England, sparked riots against immigration, which resulted in the arrest of over 1,000 people. According to the BBC, 139 individuals received an immediate sentence, with an average prison term of two years.
While the guise of public safety has been used in the passing of these laws, underneath they are designed to silence dissent, squash freedom of expression, and eliminate those who might complain about anything the government does, including the Islamic takeover which has become prevalent over the past decade in the U.K., and Europe.
The "rioters" have already been threatened with violence by Islamic gangs within the prison system.
The police do not show up when Islamists in Britain are protesting en masse, brandishing weapons, calling for violence against Israel, disrupting traffic, and burning the British flag.
Even Muslims are tired of the Islamists who move to the U.K. and refuse to integrate or assimilate.
Activist Tommy Robinson has spent years exposing the Islamic pedophile grooming gangs – who trafficked over 1,400 young English girls into sex slavery. Robinson was issued a gag order, bankrupted by the courts, and threatened with solitary confinement three years ago for a documentary he made about the situation with Islamist migrants, and the mainstream media's lies.
In his new documentary titled "Silenced," Robinson explains how a school–yard incident between two 15–year–old boys was overblown into an alleged racist attack, when the media found out the boy being accosted with a bottle of water was a Syrian refugee. The news became so big, former British Prime Minister Theresa May spoke about the incident at the G20 Summit.
Robinson exposed the story for what it was – fake outrage, and nothing more than a spat between two boys that was being used to push an agenda to further squash free speech. School staff and witnesses alleged the Syrian boy was actually a known bully, and further alleged he had assaulted girls on more than one occasion.
Secretly interviewing the head teacher, along with other staff, it was disclosed the local council (headed by the relative of a well-known Mufti) had forced them to sign non–disclosure agreements, and it was confirmed by Kirklees Council's own documents, they had spent close to 275,000 pounds in taxpayer money, to keep people silent. The head teacher ultimately lost his teaching position.
"They've spent money silencing everybody, so nobody can ever, this is forever once you sign that agreement, no one can ever tell the truth. While they push this manufactured lie, that destroyed lives, schools, communities, everyone's life," Robinson states in his documentary.
English school students who dare question classroom lessons about Islam, are labeled as racists, and are being suspended from school.
The full video of London protests, in which the demonstrators were labeled "Far–Right" by the BBC, shows the growing dissatisfaction of British citizens with their government, and the continuous gaslighting it engages in.
