In American freedom of speech is a right of first amendment.

There is something rotten in the state of Great Britain. It is disintegrating ethical, culturally, politically and economically. There is no better example of this debilitating decline than the UK dip in the kind of speech censorship usually linked to the dictatorship of the Third World Tinpot.
The recent arrest at London’s Heathrow Airport of a marked Irish comedian, Graham Linehan, for the “crime” of three politically wrong tweets shows strong how far Britain has fallen. After being held for several hours, Linehan was released provided that he does not publish any further tweets until his case is judged.
Starting from Magna Carta in 1215, when the nobles first destroyed the unlimited forces of the monarch since then “Bad King John”, England, in fits and begins, begins the journey to the individual rights that have fortunately put it in addition to other European forces. In the 1600s, the British Parliament firmly established its sovereignty for the king, while Europe saw the rise of absolute monarchies in the then great mainland forces of Spain and France.
The increase in ownership rights in England was summarized in the phrase, “a man’s house is his castle”.
The American colonies have taken this trend in its logical conclusion with the declaration of independence, the 250th anniversary of which we celebrate next year. Fortunately, the US Constitution contains the first amendment, guaranteeing the right to freedom of speech.
What contrast is this right to what is happening now on Sceptred Isle. For years, the United Kingdom has, by increasing firmness, limits what one is allowed to say, all in the name of fighting racism, sexism, Islamophobia, transsexual, refusing climate change and everything else that has woken up. The actions are expected by China and North Korea, British police are zealously investigating social media messages and individual statements about any deviation from sovereignty awakened Orthodoxy. Police are making more than 30 arrests a day in what they consider to be offensive online positions, retweets or animations. This is 12,000 arrests per year.
A few months ago, police arrested a couple for messages distributed to a Whatsapp conversation group as six officers searched their home. Authorities arrested a grandmother for the silent holding a sign outside an abortion clinic that said that “coercion is a crime, here to speak, if you want.”
Alas for those who are considered guilty. The wife of a conservative politician was sentenced to 31 months in prison for what the police said was an unacceptable position. On the contrary, a game was sentenced to 21 months in Slammer.
Last year, the leader of the London Metropolitan Police threatened to seek the extradition of Americans and other foreigners to guard them if he was considered to have violated the country’s rules for online content.
A phenomenal example of this “wokeness” was exhibited earlier this year by Elon Musk when he made the foreground on how British authorities have been blindly blind for infamous rape gangs that consist mainly of Pakistani Muslim men who embrace the young. Musk was hit by the crowd of awakening to make this an issue. If not for his protrusion, he would certainly be persecuted. Thanks to Musk’s pressure, however, the British prime minister eventually reversed the course and ordered an investigation. An extensive research has already found that the scandal is worse and more widespread than previously supposed.
The big question is whether Britain can pull itself from this moral sewer network. If it can, it would be a powerful example for similar contaminated countries.
