Just a few days ago, the UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer once again informed the US President that free speech is a core British value and one that he will fearlessly defend. Watch this. Two female police officers come a visiting. A child has viewed a social media post and the Police are unhappy…
So they insist that they enter the property (no warrant) and take away a child’s phone. They provide zero evidence of there being any offence committed. The fact this appears to be West Midlands police may explain the hijab wearing officer. (In my view, this is an utterly ridiculous police force in the first instance)
I’m glad the lady videoed this conversation – please note the muslim police officer sought to stop that from happening. The property owner was perfectly within her legal rights to refuse entry to the Police. You can’t just turn up at someone’s door and demand to come in and remove private property without an explanation and a warrant. The phone they wanted belonged to a child so in this case they threatened the arrest of that child if they did not get what they wanted. This is astounding.
Each year, around 12,000 British people get arrested over social media posts. This makes us one of the most authoritarian anti free speech regimes in the world. Many people living in America can barely conceive that this can happen at all but it does. And the man who presides over this has the brass neck to boast about how free speech is protected!
