Is this scenario true? Or is the dude mistaken? I havent been following it.

 

"And I think the entire US-UK special relationship has to be immediately renegotiated because this is a tyrannical hellhole state who is trying to export their censorship here..."

Special relationship my arse. There's no such thing except in the minds of delusional people.

False. We have access to US infrastructure banned to every other country on the planet. 

 

The implications to US national security of a fracture with the UK are so dire it will never be allowed to happen. Ever. 

Like what for example?

Lie. 

 

All Aviation police are armed in the UK. The fact is he was arrested stepping off a flight - unusually in the UK everyone arrested on the flight side of airports is arrested by armed officers. Full stop. 

 

He was then handed to civilian police. Unarmed. This "stormtroopers" comment is vile and absurd. 

 

Now let's go for the real absurdity. He did "call for violence." He says it was a joke. I say it was a bad joke, but still a joke. 

 

The 1st Amendment does not allow free speech to extend to shouting "fire" in a movie theatre or "I have a bomb" in an airport. There are limits. 

 

Kier Starmer - who I detest - has said we'll need to look at the law again as this was stupid - five policemen for a tweet. 

 

However the police have said - and I agree with them - you wrote the law. If we don't respond to threats of violence and they come to pass you will slaughter us at public inquiries. 

 

So basically- you either want us to police social media or you don't. 

 

Me? I say no. "Policing" social media should be a civilian job and in extremis they should call in the police. 

 

Asking the police to do it is just absurd. 

I see you are one of them, the problem.

How would you describe 5 "police" in kevlar vests and carrying not only sidearms but tactical rifles?...starmers jackboot storm troopers...nothing like a fascist Nazi show of force to detain this "criminal"...free speech is non existent in UK unless you are anti semetic

 

You don't think....just possibly....that maybe.....these were airport police who were asked to pick him up?

One of which was a twit who got lost in a desert, became embroiled in dodgy arms deals and end up financing a failed Dogs of War style Coup.

Police arrested a disabled RAF veteran for holding up a sign against genocide

I think what he was saying was that Farage is a grifter, charlatan, and bandwagon jumper.

 

Correct, plus a lazy MP. I assume "Arthur Mullard", despite their pen name evoking a popular Cockney character actor, is a non-native English speaker, maybe an Uzbek or Eritrean, who naturally misunderstood my posting, which did not mention immigration at all. He is skilled in recognising people's general concerns about life, and then manipulating that to align with his own prejudices. So far he has created two scapegoats. Since he is a Gen Xer, I can predict who the next scapegoat will be.

Happens all the time. Here's one from 2 years ago. Auditing Yorkshire is arrested by a police INSPECTOR, for calling him a muppet, in revenge for pointing out illegally parked police cars.
