not so much government tyranny as government collaboration.

"James Wilson, prosecuting, said Mr Michael's tone in the video had been "unrelentingly negative" towards migrants."

On that basis. I could well find myself up before he Beak.

Michael when a young Royal Marine was sent to the war in Iraq(Bliars illegal war) and on 2 peace keeping missions to Sierra Leone. He spent 20 days on remand in prison for posting a video online urging people to exercise their democratic rights over illegal immigration in the wake of the Southport murders, the father-of-two believes his country has now betrayed him.A jury took 17 minutes to unanimously find him not guilty this week. In the video he urged people “to get ready”, adding: “It doesn’t mean getting bats and knives and stuff ... I’m talking about doing things the right way: getting in big groups, having meetings, going to the council, police, the politicians, the councillors.” Disgraceful 2 tier jurisdiction once again. They wanted to lock him up like Robinson for saying what we all think. Lock up the gits who brought about the prosecution instead.

My word. I archived this and it has now loaded.

Thanks for the link. Had never heard of him.

 

I trust the jury reached the right decision and free "speech" has been protected. However as I have not, and don't intend to, research further, I'm taking that on trust.

The govt is not tyranny. It was voted into office democratically and has not attempted to change the rules so as to give them lifetime power. Starmer is not Trump or Putin or the Chinese bloke. You worry too much.
