British Police Arrest 3,395 Citizens For Being Politically Incorrect Online

Fact checked
British police arrest thousands of citizens for being offensive online

In the last year, British police have arrested at least 3,395 citizens – nine people per day – for being “politically incorrect” on social media. 

According to data obtained by The Times through the Freedom of Information Act, 29 police forces arrested thousands of citizens under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another.”

Breitbart.com reports:  The true figure is likely to be significantly higher, as thirteen police forces refused to provide the requested information and two did not provide usable data.

Around half of the investigations were abandoned before being brought to prosecution, which critics say is an indication that the authorities are being excessively strict in their interpretation of the law’s restrictions on freedom of speech.

Nevertheless, many forces have massively stepped up their focus on so-called trolls, with the number of arrests by West Midlands Police having increased by an astonishing 877 per cent since 2014.

With Home Secretary Amber Rudd’s announcement of a special national police hub focused on online hate last week, it is expected that these numbers will only increase.

Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group, said: “the problem is ‘grossly offensive’ is not something you should normally be prosecuted for. It’s not showing harm to other people. It’s not showing that somebody is being … attacked or threatened.”

The seeming inconsistency in the enforcement of free speech restrictions has also been a source of contention, with the Metropolitan Police — who detained 867 people in 2016, according to the Times figures — appearing reluctant to investigate people such as Nadia Chan, the self-described Islamist who was revealed as having made a number of deeply racist remarks about white people on social media after an appearance on public broadcaster Channel 4.

Chan branded Israeli Jews “parasites” and ranted that white people were “swine” and “pasty bland bitches [who] have NO culture, no rich history, you ain’t shit, ur ancestors were cave ppl”. She also openly endorsed terror attacks on Iranian state network Press TV —  but the Met refused to say whether they would bring charges against her.

Literally thousands of people urged the Met Contact Centre on Twitter to investigate Chan, but the force did not appear to offer any public response, and individuals who contacted the account privately claim they were told the force would not accept any reports unless the complainants came to a police station in person.

Similarly, people who reported mixed race transgender model Munroe Bergdorf for saying “the white race is the most violent and oppressive force of nature on earth” in a segment produced and aired by the publicly-funded BBC — an apparent violation of the laws against ‘inciting racial hatred’ — were met with official indifference.

The Met seemed to indicate that it was not interested in investigating Bergdorf in online responses to members of the public, referring them to the complaints form for broadcast regulator Ofcom instead.

  1. …Religion of peace? Ha! Islam is a terrorist ideology, it is NOT a religion!

    Ever wonder why the Crusades were justified? Is it possible it was a long overdue response to centuries of Islamic conquest?

    1095 Launch of the first Crusade. Wasn’t this about time? Talk about “turning the other cheek! It took 400 years for Christians to respond to Islamic aggression and conquest!

    This was a military expedition by European Christians to regain the Holy Lands taken by the Muslim conquest of the Levant, which resulted in the re-capture of Jerusalem in 1099.
    ___________________

    >> That re-conquest did not last long.

    The final loss of Jerusalem for European forces can be considered to be between 1270 and 1272. In the year 1270, Louis IX of France who lead the (arguably called) Eight crusade died on the shores of modern day Tunisia. This had effectively ended the Eight crusade and also led Henry III of England’s son Edward to sail to Acre and try to reclaim the city. He was, however, unsuccessful and had to return back to England. His demise marks the ending of the Ninth crusade which lasted from around 1271 to 1272.

  2. The real “Radical Muslim Extremists” are the ones that do NOT attack, murder, rape infidels or support those that do. But that civilized act puts themselves in danger of attack, for Apostasy.

    Apostasy in Islam (Arabic: ردة‎‎ riddah or ارتداد irtidād) is commonly defined as the conscious abandonment of Islam by a Muslim in word or through deed. The definition of apostasy from Islam and its appropriate punishment(s) are controversial, and they vary among Islamic scholars and Islamic schools of thought.

    …The usual punishment is death!

    ~~~ The following explains it!

    “There is no such thing as a Moderate Muslim, only Apostate ones!”

    https://stumpknocker77.wordpress.com/2015/12/06/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-moderate-muslim-only-apostate-ones/

    Many Muslims living in Islamic countries have no problem with the rule of putting apostates to death. The examples of Robert Hussein of Kuwait, Abdul Rahman of Afghanistan, and Bahaa el-Din Ahmed Hussein el-Akkad of Egypt come to mind. These ugly Muslim governments are succored by the West’s finances and blood while they impose an imperial and brutal religion upon its citizens.

    On the other hand, Muslims living in the West are embarrassed by this death sentence. The West values the freedoms of thought and speech, Islam does not, and these virtues have never blossomed under Islamic rule. Consequently, when asked about the Islamic law for apostates many Western Muslims do their best to cover up Islam’s edict. Motivated by conviction, or shame, they make up various defenses and say whatever they can to put your mind at ease and make Islam more acceptable to a naïve, gullible, and ignorant Western audience.

    >>> The way around that little Catch 22, …is to lie.

    >>> The Taqiyya Factor

    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/11/the_taqiyya_factor.html

    Taqiyya is an Islamic doctrine that allows Muslims to deceive non-Muslims. As in lie to them. Dr. Sami Mukaram, author of Taqiyya in Islam, writes: “Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it…

    >>> Former President Obama expertly practiced Taqiyya.

  3. The West does NOT need to allow thousands of backward, 7th century, unvetted and violent muslim savages into our countries that have ‘enshrined’ sexual slavery, rape, forced conversion, murder and genocide in their FAKE religion!

  4. Now you Brit’s know why we created The United States of America with our US Constitution that protects us against a tyrannical government…..

    • Sta, America wasn’t created due to modern British policies, which ironically are informed by Democracy and Equality. 18th Century British Laws would not have done this.

  5. Way to go UK, you are fulfilling Orwell’s prophecy at a stunning pace, this should be a warning to all the Leftists in America what happens when Socialist rule.

  6. I am scared out of my wits this kind if tyranny will also soon be coming to the U.S.A., if this kind of tyranny is not already also happening in America!

  7. What a load of old Bollocks! Taxpayer money being wasted yet again. The police doesn’t seem to give a toss about the illegal immigrants running around our beautiful country. This is a diabolical state of affairs.

  8. Not surprised to hear that. Historically, England has never fully grasped true freedom of it’s citizenry or they would have the equivalent of our 2nd Amndmnt. Obviously this article reflects they have no regard for the equivalent of what would be our 1st Amndnt. either. They’ve proven a long time ago they have no respect for illegal search and seizure/invasion of privacy. Our 4th Amndmnt. prevents that.Although even in America that is debatable-because we know many of the Bill Of Rights have been and are violated by our government-LOL.

    • They don’t respect anyone. I remember an interview John Lenon did back when he was younger, in England. Even he was woken up and completely seized without time to think or take a piss.
