@RSC_1986@FitzoCrypto@ukhomeoffice Lots of violence was well documented and not prosecuted.
And lots was prosecuted based on political motivation.
Hence the term "two tier"
But no violence resulted from it. Speech does not cause violence. People need to stop thinking that people on the opposite side of the political spectrum need to be censored to prevent violence.
People riot when they hear about little girls being murdered. They do not riot because of speeches and social media posts.
Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime.
By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.
@RSC_1986@FitzoCrypto@ukhomeoffice I'd like to consider myself politically no bias.
Obviously freedom of speech is an American thing and in England ( where these 2 alleged crimes happened) the freedom of expression doesn't surpass incitement. However its clear who did what to any true English man.
The USA has free speech because of its 1st Amendment and a mountain of Supreme Court precedent that doesn’t get enough credit. It was actually an extremely left-wing Supreme Court that made some of the most important decisions that have resulted in a situation today where Americans wouldn’t even notice Lucy Connolly’s tweet or Ricky Jones’s speech.
If you want free speech, you have to fight for the nastiest speech out there. You might find this interesting. I’m more right than the left, but I will give the left wing of the political spectrum credit for this.

@RSC_1986@FitzoCrypto@ukhomeoffice Ricky jones was out , on the streets, with an angry mob , and a megaphone, calling for violence against someone or people he thought were worth attacking.
Not a daft tweet.
@RSC_1986@FitzoCrypto@ukhomeoffice I believe Ricky Jones threat was real. I believe the jury weren't objective at all. They were probably similar to him.
I think connonlly clearly made an indifferent comment ( "for all I care") meaning she couldn't care less if something bad happened rather than . "Go and do it"
They won the vote in 2016. They're losing it every single year since.
140,000 Leave voters are lost every year. 85% of young voters want back in. The maths doesn't lie. It's not IF Britain rejoins, it's WHEN. 🇬🇧🤝🇪🇺
@ukhomeoffice You should now investigate and prosecute those that were trying to abuse the law to silence legal discourse. These people are traitors to a free and tolerant society.
The act itself is totalitarian , authoritarian and against the values of any democracy.
New measures announced today, will introduce a new system that will prevent police from recording lawful free speech.
Forces will continue to ensure that reports from the public, which may lead to genuine harm, get the right response.
The Roman Empire had the largest most expensive army in the world, but it had bad generals and insane moron emperors that fought stupid wars and it died.
Anyone getting Déjà vu?
500,000 strong Left Wing march in the UK and it was barely even covered on the 'News'.
But it doesn't matter whether the revolution is televised or not.
It still happens.
@Sadie_NC Most businesses pay their staff to work. Why don't they incorporate these costs into their product pricing rather than leave it to subjective speculation and infer the customer is the one who's in the wrong.
Haven't they heard , the customer is often right?
Stupid yes , but right
My friend in the Netherlands works as a data scientist

Does anyone have it better than Europeans?
I think we should change the tax brackets.
Up to 15k tax free
Basic rate 20% up to 60k
60k - 80k - 30%
80k - 150k 40%
150k - 500k - 50%
500k - 2,000,000 55%
Then 60% on the rest over 2,000,000
What do you think?
I've let my dog sample every one of my bodily excretions. He seems to like ear wax the best. This probably doesn't need stating but I live alone, except for the dog.
