The British and European elites will brook no dissent from their disastrous and suicidal migrant policies. Freedom of speech? What are you, an antiquarian?
“British Police Arrest Man For Syrian Migrants Facebook Post, Promise Zero Tolerance For ‘Offence’ Online,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, February 16, 2016:
British Police have promised not to tolerate any speech that could cause offence on social media regarding Syrian migrants, after arresting a man for Facebook comments made about recent arrivals on his small Scottish Island.
The tiny Isle of Bute in the Firth of Clyde, which had a total population of just 6,498 in 2011, is expected to take in around 1,000 Syrian migrants, with 12 families already arriving since December last year…
However, commenting on the comparatively huge and sudden influx of Muslim immigrants online just became a very risky business for local residents.
Police have confirmed they have arrested a 41-year-old local man under the Communications Act, after receiving a report of a supposedly “offensive” comment made on Facebook regarding the migrants.
A police spokesman was unequivocal, that any harsh criticism of the Muslim influx would not be “tolerated”. Inspector Ewan Wilson from Dunoon police office told the Guardian following the arrest:
“I hope that the arrest of this individual sends a clear message that Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of activity which could incite hatred and provoke offensive comments on social media”….
Dutch police have paid numerous visits to people making anti-mass migration comments on social media this January, telling one man: “You tweet a lot. We have orders to ask you to watch your tone. Your tweets may seem seditious.”
In December last year, it was reported that Facebook, Twitter and Google had teamed up with German law enforcement to delete “hate speech” within 24 hours, in what was seen as being a last-ditch effort to silence public dissent about the million plus uncontrolled arrivals.
In Denmark too, police have adopted a harsh stance. A veteran politician was arrested and handed a steep fine earlier this month for tweeting about the European migrant crisis and Muslim anti-Semitism.

Dan Jones says
Does death to America, England, and Israel chanted by muslims count as hate speech in the UK? Or do the followers of the pedophile mo-ham-is-mad get a pass?

No, that is regarded as freedom of speech. They can blame, threat and insult who ever they like. But you can’t say anything or it will be regarded as a hate speech.

Their pedafile prophet mohammad said: “…migration cannot be ended as long as there is an enemy who resists…”
And Hasan Al-Banna found muslim brotherhood said: “It is the nature of islam to dominate not to be dominated; to impose it’s laws upon all nations and to extend it’s power to the entire planet.”
The Trojan Horse of political islam is already stabled in America and has started to disgorge it’s nastiness.and evil.
Maty says
Orwell got so many things right.
He observed, above all, the utter hatred the English Left had
for their own country.
“Rather be caught stealing from the poor box than standing for the national
anthem –”
The state’s defence of our Oldest Enemy & the persecution of those who state
the objective truth, proves we are further away from democracy than we have
been for centuries, possibly since the UK came into existence.
In the past, tyrannical governments were at least patriotic & not for handing
us over to foreign, (often third world savage) rule.
Mary says
Orwell was correct about so many things, including the hatred of
the English Let for their country (cf French Lefties).
“An English socialist would rather be caught stealing from the poor box
than standing fo rthe National Anthem –“
Shane says
Liberals oppose free speech if it is critical of any member of their protected groups – women, Muslims, gay, Latinos, illegal aliens, Asians, and just about anybody who is not White, Christian, or male. Hate speech laws are anti-freedom of speech because speech should be free unless it calls for violence against someone or some group. Of course. Rev. Farrakhan’s call for the creation of an army to kill Whites and Jews is okay because the members of his group vote Democrat!
Carolyne says
The US has no hate speech laws because we are fortunate enough that the founding fathers wrote the First Amendment. However, the UN has a goal to universally outlaw criticism of Muslims and our government sent Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State to attend a UN meeting on the subject in Istanbul. With the death of Justice Scolia , attempts will be made to subvert the First Amendment by Obama appointing a far to the left, Muslim friendly if not Muslim himself, to replace Justice Scolia. If he accomplishes that, our freedom of speech and our Second Amendment rights will be abolished. At the moment, the only defense we have against the government flooding our country with Jihadists is our power to object. That power will be taken away if Obama has his way.
Georg says
If I had the money I’d publish a book, actually an edited Koran, where every reference to non-Muslims of whatever stripe was replaced with “Muslim”.

Good idea,

If you really want to make your point you should also switch women with men; gays with straights; and Jews with Arabs.
mortimer says
Georg wrote: he’d replace…”every reference to non-Muslims of whatever stripe …. with “Muslim”.
The Koran would then be considered ‘hate speech’ for certain. It’s despicable that no court has certified that the Koran is mainly hate.
I believe a complainant tried that in India, but the Muslims mounted a terror campaign to stop the court case from continuing.
Lynn says
The Cairo Declaration of Human Rights is the big building block of political islamicshit. Add to it The 10 Year Program of Action and Hillary’s 7/15/11 OIC meeting and agreement Resolution 1618. She said in a speech that it would be easy to change Americans way of speaking by “good old fashioned shame and peer pressure”. By using ‘tests of consequence’, this goal is slowly being achieved. We need to expose her anti-American efforts. Oh, I forgot about HR 569 which is just more of the same and aimed directly at American speech.

Huck Folder says
For some reason the word korangutan sprang to mind, it seems quite euphonious, descriptive and accurate. And lo and behold, it is in use; allah be braised.
Huck Folder says
I’ve been pondering the same for a few years now,
Surely it can be done?
7:166 But when even after this [pedophilia] they [the moslems] disdainfully persisted in that from which they were forbidden, We said to them, “Become apes—despised and disgraced!”
2:65 And you know well the story of those among you [moslems] who broke Sabbath. We said to them: “Be apes—despised and hated by all.”
That last part is certainly true.
2:66 Thus We made their [SAVAGE] end a warning to the [CIVILIZED] people of their time and succeeding generations, and an admonition for God-fearing people.
I.e., anyone but moslems.
5:60 Then say: “Should I inform you [People of the Book of Hate™] of those, who will have even worse recompense from Allah than the transgressors? [the korangutans] They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have been under His wrath; some of whom were turned into apes and swine; who worshipped taghut [the devil or idols]; [Cue: The Satanic Verses] those are the people who are in a far worse plight and who have turned farthest away from the Right Way.”
Farthest from the right sounds like democrats/socialists/communists/marxists…
I would just LOVE to see even a few of the most vitriolic chapters thus rendered, and watch the steam issue forth from their pig and ape ears.

Surely to god, their must be ONE British person left,

The Law and Freedom Foundation led by Gavin Boby

Are they LAWS?
Was a legal precedent cited?
If not, why not?
And do those thugs in blue not remember Kris Donald,

mutilated and murdered by the worshipers of mo?
Maybe they are members of the
National Association of Moslem Police
(NAMP), a fifth column if ever there was one.
Carolyne says
The UK does not have a written Constitution, therefore no First Amendment. That being the case, by what law could someone sue the government for its repressive laws against infidels? If Obama is not stopped from naming a Muslim lover to replace Justice Scolia, our Constitution will be abrogated and we will see laws such as those in Britain which forbid criticism of Islam and its hordes of invaders. Our Second Amendment will also be abrogated and with it our right to arm ourselves against the Muslim barbarians our government is bringing into our country.

And when Muslims kill 14 people in San Bernardino, AG Lynch would use intimidation to silence speech about Islam’s inherent violence, and instead focus on ‘Islamophobia’. Instead of figuring out how Islam inspired two people to commit mass murder, HuffPo starts an Islamophobia tracking list.

Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father. If that offends anybody… then so be it. I take comfort in knowing that there is coming a time when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that.. it can be done now… Or at the Great White Throne judgement. It is hard for me to hate anyone… But the Word says… God hates the shedding of innocent blood in Proverbs. He also hates lying lips. If God hates these things then Christians should hate these things too. So what are we supposed to do? The Word says that we should expose the deeds of darkness. Actually forget about political correctness… … We need to see what the Word says about that. If we don’t speak out about it then we are disobeying God. The Word says we would be persecuted. If we get afraid… To say anything… aren’t we just doing what we should not do submitting to that evil. That’s exactly what they want. Has man become so modern that he does not have the ability or the courage to speak out against things that are wrong. There is too much complacency. We should have seen this coming. Now we see it over in the West. It is evident that it is evil and it is trying to come our way. So what are we going to do about it?
somehistory says
If the Truth is made known while people may speak, then more people have an opportunity to hear.
We should not be surprised if this also comes to the rest of the world before the end of the wild beast and its image come.
Even with the Freedom of Speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, there is an aim to limit it more than in the past…with people being giving citations for *offensive* speech, officers proclaiming it is “against the law.”
One could say loudly, no *offensive speech* is not against the law, but if being handcuffed and warned of everything being used against one, the *guarantee* may seem null and void.

خَليفة says
Japan considers Islam to be a “strange and dangerous” ideology and it is not allowed in Japan.
China will never be over taken by Islam – unlike the west, China would not hesitate to eradicate Muslims if that “need” ever arose. China lacks the Christian compassion which shackles the west. This does not mean there is no compassion, just that China does not get crippled by it. China would nuke Mecca if need be. The only thing which restrains China is the west. But west is eroding and losing power.
China has more geniuses than entire population of USA, Islam, with all its low-IQ and inbred followers would not stand a chance against an unrestrained China. Time to learn Chinese.

Nobody criticizes Japan for refusing to take in refugees for reasons of racial/cultural preservation. Everyone criticizes the West for not taking in enough refugees fast enough despite the unfolding dissolution of our societies.
Accounting for this discrepancy is eye shape. And it makes sense if you don’t think about it.
Shmooviyet says
Japan was a ‘VICTIM of Western violence and dominance’, as a member of the WWII Axis. They were only forced, by American meddling in their business, to declare war against the US, after their pleas to America were ignored.

Silencing all opposition to suicide-by-Islam here is like the pancuronium bromide (muscle relaxant) phase of enforcing the death penalty by lethal injection. They skip the pentobarbital step so, like in halal slaughter, the target is not rendered unconscious. You get to be alert to the whole process from start to finish, you just can’t stop it.
Westman says
It appears that some European countries have not yet gotten the capricious attitudes of Royalty out of their system. The US has a right to free speech because every vestige of Royal despotic rule was eliminated. It appears that, during the decreasing power of Kings, the aristocratic class of Europe was unable to tolerate criticism and has continued as politicians to limit the “rabble”.
It wasn’t until the migrant crisis that I realized that much of Europe is still not free and where the condescending attitude of it’s elected officials originates. The old Feudal hierarchical system is still functioning. One only needs to listen to the tone and read the translations to realize that too many of these officials have a “divine right” entitlement complex.
Europe won’t be free until it has free speech.

“One only needs to listen to the tone and read the translations to realize that too many of these officials have a “divine right” entitlement complex.”

When the government is so brazen in their disdain for the people it’s time for the people to put some fear into the government.
pdxnag says
The U.S. First Amendment (and the other Bill of Rights) was born from a study of the common features of government tyranny. The core feature is the right to criticize government; robustly but peacefully so as to avoid the need for violent overthrow. It is a balancing act.
The silencing of opposition is the very definition of tyranny.
Westman says
Unfortunately the desire to control uncomplementary information still exists in the West. Instead of limiting free speech they muddle it up with disinformation or simply hide the truth.

Just look at George Clooney and his wife; they have made their neighbors irritated while remodeling their big country mansion in the UK (with not-to-code walls of excessive height and noisy construction trucks moving about at all hours) and would not dream of any immigrant, middle eastern or whathaveyou, living within a mile of their new neighborhood while they invite their carousing Hollywood chums over to watch themselves in their luxurious home theatre while protected by a private security (armed) service. I wonder if that new home is near Rotherham?
Nimrod says
You are absolutely right. Europeans in general still effectively believe in the “divine right of kings”. This is still an underlying cultural assumption in Europe. According to Montesquieu monarchy is based in tradition and apparently that tradition still holds at an underlying cultural level despite the claims of republican virtue.
But I realized this a long time ago (15+ years) during gun control discussions with Europeans. Through asking the right questions it became apparent that all the Europeans believed that there was never any such thing as legitimate rebellion against illigetimate government.
When asked about the case of invasion such as Nazi invasion the answer was “I would just surrender! What’s the point?” So basically might makes right, as long as it’s a recognized government of some sort by the “international community” I guess.
Carolyne says
Westman–Your comment is very, very perceptive. I hadn’t thought of it in that way but now that I’ve read your post, I think it answers the question of why are the leaders of Europe doing this.
Sile Draper says
when are we going to rebel against this????
Donovan Nuera says
The first target of a rebellion is the Communication Centers: Boycott all media (HBO too; c’mon, adults are talking up these lame mendaciously-predictable shows at work the next day like teenagers who used to go gaga over Leif Garrett and his skateboarding skills ca. 1978). Stop going to $14 rip-off movies. Stop downloading new songs or Netflix. The Hollywood elite are always sneering at those who opposes islamicism and bankroll their politicians with our money. You think that any job that would pay you $2,000,000 to recite some well-rehearsed lines over the course of 22 minutes while moving in predictable way in front of a camera (i.e. “acting”) is honest work? Or pay $500,000 to just show up at a “happenin’ scene”? (The chutzpah is that these overpaid talentless hacks then condescendingly call us idiots despite busting our collective humps 6 days a week for 40 years just to watch our retirement get “redistributed”.)
(It would be a shame if, let’s say, somebody started tearing up pages from a certain book and strew them all around the Oscar venue oh, I dunno, a week or two before the Big Show, along with chalk drawings of a certain name in a certain language all over the sidewalks so that one could not avoid stepping on the script…..).

Who was offended by it? And why? Is the accused not allowed to face his accuser?
Is that so? Are you cracking down on islamic websites? The quran and ahadith have say some nasty things and untruthful things about non-muslims.
“Seditious”? Is that really how you want to describe someone who was probably arguing for keeping Dutch culture and traditions?
You know what’s going to happen? People will meet elsewhere AND they’ll have something else to complain about. The discontentment with the government will grow. It’s like sealing the lid of a pressure cooker because you don’t want steam coming out while turning up the heat. The steam WILL come out, just in a much messier way.

Okay, Georg.
So what, *precisely* and *specifically* do you propose that a Dutch, Danish or Scottish person, reading over our shoulders *right now*, should go out and DO?
Today. Tomorrow. The day after.
Be specific. Be practical. THINK. Suppose our Islamo-aware person is a little old lady of, oh, about 70 years old. She has realised that Islam is dangerous. She’s in Scotland. What is she to DO? She reads here at Jihadwatch – now. She agrees. She understands.
Now, WHAT do you propose that she do… TOMORROW.
Or suppose our Islamoaware Scot is a teenage girl aged, oh, about 17.
Or a boy, ditto.
Or a young mum with three little kids – a baby, a toddler and a six year old.
What. is. she. to . do?
Have you anything immediately *doable* to propose to such people?
In the case of the Dutch, the most simple and obvious course of action – *my* advice to every Dutch Islamosavvy person here posting or lurking – is this: SUPPORT GEERT WILDERS!! Vote for the Party for Freedom!! And do your damnedest to make everyone you know a/ aware of Islam and 2/ promote membership of and support for Wilders’ party, so that at the *next* election, or the next, he gets in on such an avalanche of votes that that will be it: a majority government. Not a cobbled-together coalition.
Same thing in Denmark. *My* advice is: join and ginger up and support the Danish People’s Party, with the ultimate aim of their receiving *so many* votes that they can govern in their own right. And support Lars Hedegaard’s Free Press Society. And – if able-bodied and aged between 18 and 35 – join the Danish Home Guard, as Niccolai Sennels has done.
As for Scotland… if there’s no Scottish PEGIDA then it’s time that one was created. That would be a start.

You are so right, it absolutely could happen here and it will, if we don’t get these Democrats out of the White House in November.

According to UN Article 19, Freedom of Speech is a human Right therefore this man’s human rights have been violated. I think we should send in troops to take over the UK and free them from themselves.

Absolutely agree. So many convicted criminals tie up the legal system for years, costing the taxpayer millions, because they think their human rights have been violated. Isn’t absolute freedom of speech an inalienable human right? Should a person not be free to express their opinion publically, no matter how offensive or hateful or obscene it may be? And who is to say what is offensive or hateful or obscene? I know a few cat lovers who would be offended if I expressed a view that all cats are vermin and should be killed. I doubt I would be arrested for saying it, even if someone reported me to the police. But post a strong objection to the government’s grand plan and it seems we have no human rights after all. It’s sickening, truly sickening.

OFFENSIVE COMMENTS?
Isn’t ‘free speech’ all about ‘offensive comments’?
If it isn’t ‘offensive’, then I don’t require ‘free speech’ to say it…do I?
Georg says
You wouldn’t think this logic so mysterious to our philosopher extraordinaire overlords.
mortimer says
Most Britons are unaware that they don’t have freedom of expression since the 2003 Communications Act:
“Section 127 of the act makes it an offence to send a message that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character over a public electronic communications network.[8] The section replaced section 43 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 and is drafted as widely as its predecessor.[9] The section has controversially been used to prosecute users of social media in cases such as the Twitter Joke Trial and Facebook comments concerning the murder of April Jones.[10]
On 19 December 2012, to strike a balance between freedom of speech and criminality, the Director of Public Prosecutions issued interim guidelines, clarifying when social messaging is eligible for criminal prosecution under UK law. Only communications that are credible threats of violence, harassment, or stalking (such as aggressive Internet trolling) which specifically targets an individual or individuals, or breaches a court order designed to protect someone (such as those protecting the identity of a victim of a sexual offence) will be prosecuted. Communications that express an “unpopular or unfashionable opinion about serious or trivial matters, or banter or humor, even if distasteful to some and painful to those subjected to it” will not. Communications that are merely “grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or false” will be prosecuted only when it can be shown to be necessary and proportionate. People who pass on malicious messages, such as by retweeting, can also be prosecuted when the original message is subject to prosecution. Individuals who post messages as part of a separate crime, such as a plan to import drugs, would face prosecution for that offence, as is currently the case.”
Nomis says
UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Successive UK governments have sought to erode this basic human right. We need to change this, and soon.
Robert MacLean says
The Director of Public Prosecutions is only applicable to England & Wales. Scotland has its own legal system, High Court, etc.

It is the observation of the act that is offensive, not the act itself. Just like it isn’t the actions of Muslims which are responsible for their disrepute, but the observation and resultant conclusions drawn about the actors by their observers. Our prescription is to observe a book committed to our damnation and love it.
More Ham Ed says
“British Police have promised not to tolerate any speech that could cause offence on social media regarding Syrian migrants…
And who gets to decide “offence” – as Robert has asked & explained before on JW.
mortimer says
More Ham writes: ‘who gets to decide?’
-Justice Frankfurter noted that beliefs “ … dear to one may seem the rankest ‘sacrilege’ to another,” and added concerning “sacrilegious” speech: “[H]istory does not encourage reliance on the WISDOM and MODERATION of the censor.”

British and EU leaders today make George III and Lord North look like libertarians.
Matthieu Baudin says
Europe needs new leadership and vision from the top in the U.S.A. so that this fashion for censorship, across the Atlantic, can be challenged and hopefully steadily eroded away.
Dave says
Time for Williams Wallace to rise again… maybe time for Scottish independence.
Ian H says
A pity we can’t actually read the comments to judge their nature ourselves.
Fahrenheit211 says
Hi Ian, I’m Fahrenheit211 a counterjihad blogger who mostly covers stories from Britain and the EU and I agree that we all should be able to see the words and judge for ourselves. I have zero confidence that when this case comes to court the media will report his words exactly or whether they will fudge around and hide behind the word ‘offensive’ or ‘too offensive to broadcast’. If anyone who has seen those words or who has a copy then I’d gladly feature them on my blog so that the people as a whole can decide whether or not these words are merely expressions of an opinion that the Scottish Govt doesn’t like, or whether they are indeed words that could be actionable such as a credible threat to kill which would come under the Offences Against the Person Act.
Shane Webster says
no need to be offensive, as muhamMad was

Barry says
The governments of the free world have gone insane and if this type of tyranny is tolerated by the people life will get increasingly worse by the year until the inevitable revolution occurs. There is only one method available to the common person to bring about true change and that historically would be through the use of violence. One thing every living soul fears, no matter how rich or powerful they believe themselves to be, is sudden death. As Enoch Powell predicted there will be rivers of blood before this is over. There was a time when I would have regarded anyone suggesting revolution in our great country a traitor but now I believe the Founding Fathers actually predicted it and wrote the Constitution accordingly.
worldcitizen1919 says
So I suppose considering all the lively discussion here we will all be under arrest?
Davegreybeard says
The First Amendment has not yet been challenged, so talk of revolution is premature.
But should this come to pass, those who attack our freedom must be swiftly and forcefully confronted, with all the vigor and necessary violence that we can muster.
gravenimage says
Thank God for the First Amendment!
Nimrod says
Here’s the problem though. Currently limitations on speech are defined by “clear and present danger” case law.
Normally this limits prosecution of speech to situations like yelling “burn this bitch down!” during angry demonstrations where people are likely to follow the suggestion, yelling “fire!” in a theatre when there is no fire and the resulting panic would likely injure people, etc.
However, get enough dangerous violent Muslims around who riot and kill people any time Islam is criticized and the danger of criticizing Islam becomes much more clear and present.
So the legal threshold can get moved simply by having enough violent infantile people around willing to create that immediate danger in a timely enough fashion.
This is the argument that was already made against the Garland contest and there is no guarantee that this legal argument can’t succeed. It might not succeed right now but it eventually could since it is based on how people do act in a danger situation not how they are supposed to act or legally required to act. (After all, people are legally required not to riot yet whether speech was inciting a riot would be determined based on how people actually did behave.)
This is why a constitutional republic requires a specific definition of virtue and will be undermined by lack of it.
Richard says
“I hope that the arrest of this individual sends a clear message that Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of activity which could incite hatred and provoke offensive comments [against Muslim migrants] on social media”
That criminalisation of individuals who might protest against the Muslim migrants will I presume continue with renewed vigour after they commit rape and assault on the local population.
So the government of Britain can install 1,000 Muslims on a tiny Scottish island with 6,000 inhabitants and the inhabitants don’t get a say in the matter and cannot even voice their opinions or fears without getting arrested.
These people have already lost their freedom. It has been taken away by their government, as have the freedoms of the Germans, Swedes, Danes etc. Europe is entering a new dark age. The darkness and barbarism of Islam.
rogerscr says
when freedom of speech & the press is crushed it leaves the people with few options. local politicians, police, & media are not untouchable; they’re almost as vulnerable as the average citizen. think like a leftist radical. rocks through windows. threatening messages. slashed tires. doxxing. vandalism. damaged property. menace.
Tommo says
Dumping 1000 Muslim immigrants on the Isle of Bude is equivalent to mass immigration anywhere else. The police are being used to censure any dissent and to ensure that this experiment appears successful. Islanders are having their noses rubbed into their long standing poverty by immigrants moving into newly decorated houses equipped with all modern facilities. Once the welcome party is over how long will it be before the rapes and crimes start and locals will realise that their island home has been taken off them and can do nothing about it.because that was the plan in the first place.
Laura says
I would be surprised if the Islanders don’t quickly find a way to encourage their new arrivals to decide that Island life is not to their liking and so pack up and head for Tower Hamlets.

Bagpipe music. The real thing: pipe and drum bands practising at 1 am.
And recordings. Lots and lots of classic bagpipe-music recordings, played *really* loud.
That might do it.
By the way, I’m half Scots by ancestry and this story fills me with fury. I *hope* the locals in Bute fight back. I will pray for this bloke. If he’s been arrested merely for saying perfectly true and accurate things about the Religion of Blood and War, or for expressing perfectly rational fears about the likely conduct of the mohammedan mobsters who are being foisted upon his little community, then here’s hoping that a *huge* number of supporters will turn up to show solidarity when he’s dragged into court… and that a *bloody good lawyer* gets hired for his defence.
Scottish jihadwatchers – can you please keep an eye on this case and keep us all posted?
Robert MacLean says
Very sadly I have to say that I have been attempting to get the news about this into the comments sections of every online UK and Scottish newspaper today – without success. The UK mass media have obviously imposed a complete news blackout about this poor guy. Welcome to police state UK!
Robert MacLean says
As someone living in Scotland I can say from first hand experience that the Scottish police are a complete waste of space as far as controlling crime is concerned and most of the people I know regard them with contempt.
Fahrenheit211 says
Mr Maclean, I would not be surprised to find that many more people start to have utter contempt for Police Scotland after this incident. BTW I’m appealing for information about exactly what has been said here. I feel that it would be good if the people of Britain as a whole could view these words in order to judge for themselves whether or not a genuine offence has been committed or whether it’s merely a politically correct ‘hate speech’ type of fake offence. Here’s my longer comment on this matter

It is usual for an alliance to dissolve after it has served its purpose. As some would say, what was once an icon for the Soviet Union has become , through ignorance, a means to aid Russian expansion… time to leave the E.U. …
Sherman1864 says
Meanwhile the flagship “conservative” HotAir blog just adopted a FB commenting system. Very unsavory FB company indeed. This kind of thing is why I refuse to ever maintain a FB account. It is an enemy of freedom.
No Fear says
I would like to know what was said.
Fahrenheit211 says
I also would like to know what was said. This is why my blog has put out an appeal for anyone who has a copy of the text concerned so that the British people can see for themselves exactly what this man has been arrested for.
Michael Copeland says
The British people may be kept in the dark. Darren Conway in UK put up something (about Islam or Mohammed) in his window that people could see. Some muslims said they were offended. Conway was jailed for a year. A subsequent Freedom Of Information Request to know what it was that was offensive was turned down. The British are not allowed to know, but they could be imprisoned for doing the same unknown thing.
Pong says
I love football. I support English club Arsenal.
I was horrified, when durind league games there were banners “Refugees are welcomed”. Most popular blog “Untald Arsenal” even posted an article about good people inviting refugees. In my post, I pointed out that the influx of refugees will lead to increased crime and particularly rape. I was banned from the blog. That’s England for you now.
As scotts really asked for it. In a few years Scotland will be mentioned only in obscure history books.
Simon says
I believe there to be a more sinister motive in all this forced acceptance of culturally incompatible people. When the inevitable civil conflict erupts, the only way to control the warring populations will be with totalitarian Soviet era laws. a depopulation agenda could follow (forced abortions, forced euthanasia, strict environmental controls – for the commoner, not for the elites). We are in for a rough ride.
gavinwca says
Amazing to sit here and watch the UK commit suicide. They are totally destroying themselves from within.
Michael Copeland says
“Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of activity which could incite hatred and provoke offensive comments on social media.”
Police Scotland are acting outside their powers.
There is a distinction here that is not being observed.
The law forbids behaviour which incites hatred, NOT behaviour which “could” incite hatred.
The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 includes the following, at 29J:
Protection of freedom of expression
Nothing in this Part shall be read or given effect in a way which prohibits or restricts discussion, criticism or expressions of antipathy, dislike, ridicule, insult or abuse of particular religions….
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/1/schedule
Under Cameron the law is not being upheld.
Sherman1864 says
The distinction is too fine. The law as stated open to interpretation by the authoritarians.
Vicky says
This is exactly what our government is setting up here in the states. They are replacing US citizens with violent savage islamists and the Constitution with Sharia law. They are giving pagan anti-American muslims more and more protections above members of other religions. The FBI allows known jihadists which are under secret investigation of active terrorist activity, to butcher Americans before eliminating them from our society. We are losing our nation and doing nothing about it.
Annak says
” seditious” warned Dutch police ! Have we ever heard of such before in our lifetimes? Apart from under Nazi Germany and Stalinism etc. The communist students of sixties and seventies/eighties were allowed to protest everything under the sun, and were not arrested for sedition were they ?Now they are aging and running the show, well, no more if the freedom they enjoyed !
So much for democracy. Now we know any anti migrant protests are seditious and against the law. Not even in a tiny Scottish island which must be invaded by foreigners with a totally different and primitive culture, or else ?
Democracy and free speech has died a painful death in Europe. Hateful Islamic supremacist speech is fine though, and lives on, even with death and rape threats !
Who says we Europeans don’t live under Sharia ?
Historian says
What is this? the British Inquisition?

It is time to arrest every imam for reading offensive comments about us from their filthy hate-speech manual — the Qur’an.

The Koran should be put on trial under the Communications Act.
Peter Hessels says
Early February 2016, In British Columbia Canada, I had a comment I posted to a local Facebook group, removed by facebook. My comment read ‘men need to protect women and children, Muslim’s believe that mohammed is the ultimate example of how to live their lives. mohammed was a pedophile who had and promoted child marriage. I think to honestly protect women and children we have to admit, muslims are rapey.’
It’s not just Europe, freedom to tell the truth is being curtailed here in beautiful British Columbia Canada
branepilot says
This makes Soviet Russia look tame. At least Soviet Russia was not replacing Russians with cretins from a hostile culture and religion half a world away. If Europe has any unneutered men left, it is facing civil war. If not, then it is already over.
Rachel Cohen says
They are promoting Islamic terrorism/jihad.

Britain has lost any pride in its culture and history and, indeed, it very will to survive, Obama is trying to shove that same gag into the mouths of Americans who speak out against his prejudicial immigration policy which overwhelmingly favors Muslims.

When opinions are treated as crimes we are in big trouble. We should always have the right to disagree with what is going on. if we don’t we are not free we are pawns.

Well done boys, Nicola Sturgeon will be proud of you!
Carlos Danger says
Thought crime is next, now that freedom of speech has been neutered. People in Scotland should be in the streets with torches and pitchforks.
Thanks God that U.S. citizens still have the First and Second Amendments to serve as both a shield and a rallying place against governmental tyranny.
Floare says
Cultural suicide when freedom of speech and freedom of thought is replaced by hate speech propaganda =sharia law implementation
dumbledoresarmy says
For the attention of any Scottish jihadwatchers here posting or lurking. I know you’re here, so here is something you might or might not know about.
The considered judgement of a very famous Enlightenment-era Scottish philosopher, David Hume, on the subject of …Islam.
”…But would we know, whether the pretended prophet [Mohammed] had really attained a just sentiment of morals? Let us attend to his narration; and we shall soon find, that he bestows praise on such instances of treachery, inhumanity, cruelty, revenge, bigotry, as are utterly incompatible with civilized society.
“No steady rule of right seems there to be attended to; and every action is blamed or praised, so far only as it is beneficial or hurtful to the true believers.”
David Hume (1711-1776) “Of the Standard of Taste: Paragraph 4” (1757)
Imagine little cards with *that* printed on it – no comment, just the reference – scattered hither, thither and yon across Scotland.
dumbledoresarmy says
Might be fun to translate those lucid words of David Hume into Scots Gaelic.
Put them in a poster. Circulate as a FB meme.
And here’s an idea for the Islamosavvy in Scotland. **Use the Gaelic**. Find those famously Islamocritical words of David Hume, and of Winston Churchill, and other trenchantly critical statements by the greats of the recent and less-recent past, (one of the most scathingly lucid is an Irishman, Conor Cruise O’Brien, who described the Muslim family as “an abominable institution”) and …translate them into Gaelic. *Then* scatter them abroad.
Welsh speakers could do the same sort of thing.
See how long you can get away with it before the officious snitches and tattle-tales realize what you are saying.
