UK Arresting 30 CITIZENS A DAY For Social Media Posts

Russell Brand17:09

Transcription

Be careful what you say online. Be careful what you do. Not just now, but in the past because it could be reframed at any moment in a variety of ways depending on how you are regarded by the establishment. I would say that inciting violence is not good and saying that people should be burned to death is irresponsible. And generally speaking, as a Christian, I believe that we are one family and we're here to love one another.

If you're going to have nations, nations have borders. And if you're going to have democracy, you're going to have to respond to the will of the people. And the people of the United Kingdom are really concerned about migration. And they're really concerned about free speech. And if the protests or anything go by, they do not trust Karma one bit.

Firstly, let's have a look at Lucy Connelly that's been jailed for a tweet. This is a response to a Joe Rogan post. After learning of the murder of three young British girls, Lucy Connelly wrote, "Mass deportation now. set fire to all their effing hotels full of the bastards for all I care. While you're at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing." So, like, look, that's a pretty Larry post that Lucy Connelly made there. But let me know in the comments and chat whether you think that she deserves to be jailed for that during the time of the murder of those three girls.

I think a lot of us that were parents felt like, whoa, what's going on in the UK? I think many of us when we learned about the rape gang crisis felt, what's going on? And now many of us that are from the UK feel like what's happening in that country now that people are being jailed for social media posts. Who's making these decisions? Who's making these choices? And to what end? If you're in the UK right now, do you feel that you're being represented with political integrity by the Karmama government? Let me know in the comments and the chat.

It's not just Lucy Connelly. Apparently, 30 arrests are made a day for offensive online messages. So you guys on Rumble, you best be careful what you put in the comments and the chat. It's pretty extraordinary that people are being jailed for making posts online, but there is no inquiry into the rape gang crisis. Let me know what you think about that in the comments and the chat.

This is probably a right-wing politician, Rupert Low. He's been told that our rape gang inquiry is the biggest political crowdfunderer in British history. All achieved in just one week with almost no mainstream media coverage except for the Telegraph. So I suppose there are a lot of people in Britain that are still deeply dissatisfied and concerned about the nature of justice across the UK.

This is a story from the Telegraph about the 30 arrests a day that are being made for online messages. The police are making 30 arrests a day for offensive posts on social media and other platforms. Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause annoyance or inconvenience or anxiety to others via the internet, telephone or mail. Custody data obtained by the times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act in 2003. The act makes it illegal to cause distress by sending grossly offensive messages.

I suppose the more power that's afforded to the institutions of government and power, the more likely it is that they'll use their own discernment to criminalize people based on convenience. And increasingly what you'll see is views that are unpopular or voices that are effective being marginalized and criminalized.

Here's a bit of reporting from the Telegraph on the jailing of Lucy Connelly. So this is from Allison Pearson in the Telegraph. It was a without doubt horrible, hateful, and offensive tweet that Lucy Connelly made. She took her dog for a walk um and returned home and deleted it. It must have been visible for less than 4 hours, but that was enough time for someone to take a screenshot. Ray Connelly, her husband knew how easily his wife was triggered by the suffering and death of children. Like when those three girls were murdered at Taylor Swift party in Southport in the north of England, I think a lot of us were kind of overwhelmed. When those murders of children take place, it's a moment where a country undergoes a type of introspection and a kind of time of doubt. And because England is sort of broken and it's been badly very badly run and because there was a right-wing government in office during the pandemic that were risible and ridiculous and outrageous and ludicrous the figures like Rushy Sunnak and Boris Johnson pretty you know they didn't really do a great job did they with their parties and their sort of ineptitude and their in the case of Rishi Sunnak cozying up to Zilinsky and Trudeau in the case of Boris Johnson the parties is the the parties during the lockdown period in particular I'm referring to it's understandable that K star a kind of seemingly safe pair of hands former head of the CPS certainly a person who was not on point when it came to dealing with his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn who it seems that he may maybe participated in nefarious ways in the removal of and maybe even the smearing of let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that and also his handling of the Julian Assange matter has been very curious as well what I mean by that is wouldn't you want a leader of the opposition to be saying Julian Assan should not be in jail without trial. I know this cuz I'm a lawyer. This is madly messed up.

Well, now Karma is the leader of the UK and it is not going well. Whether it's the rape gangs crisis and their refusal to have an inquiry, or whether it's the knife crimes and the sort of attempts to deflect the attention away from the social disruption that's likely bought on by unchecked and poorly managed migration into the territory of the incel. Let me know in the comments and chat what you think about that. And the success of the TV show adolescence is an indicator that the government agenda is to make it all about, oh, young men, they're all in cells, they're listening to too much Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, then they're going out and doing a bunch of stabbings. It's a convenient scapegoat, I would say.

Let's get into this though now and understand a bit more exactly why the UK is becoming so authoritarian and why that authoritarianism is being dressed up as care. The deaths of those young children, the three children that were murdered in Southport, was a moment of terrible crisis, like always when there's a high-profile murder of children. And for a moment, people were concerned that it was somehow connected to migration. It turned out to be a firstgeneration British person whose parents came from Rwanda, as I understand it. But the fact is is it was a pretty dreadful murder. And whether it's poverty, social unrest, mass migration, poor government, lack of social cohesion, breakdown of national identity, people felt that it was a kind of flash point and emotions ran high. And in a way, aren't we all working out how to use social media responsibly? What do we do, man, if people feel like, you know, they want to express themselves and openly communicate their outrage online? How are we going to handle that kind of stuff?

Ray Connelly knew how easily's wife was triggered by the suffering and death of children. He says she was always writing to MPs and to the papers if there was ever a case of neglect or kids being harmed in the news. In 2011, the Connies lost their firstborn son when he was 19 months old as a result of atrocious failures of NHS care after multiple hospital visits and Lucy pleading with a pediatrician to put the listless toddler on a drip. The Connies took Harry home and laid him in a cop by their bed. They woke at 4:00 a.m. to find the body of their tiny son. Lucy screamed at Ray to do CPR while she called an ambulance. So, obviously, they have a sort of a backstory that's pretty compelling. They lost a child. That's pretty breathtaking and terrible. Ray, who's an immensely practical chap, did his best, but sadly they were not successful. What followed was a bruising battle to get justice for their child. Although the coroner found a catalog of catastrophic failures at the hospital, it was not ruled to have committed gross negligence, manslaughter, as Harry's devastated parents had wanted. "Those doctors have got away with killing my son," Lucy said. The Connies went on to have a rainbow baby two years later, a daughter called Holly, now 12. But Lucy, who received a diagnosis of PTSD after she lost her baby, never truly recovered. Hearing about a mass stabbing of little girls in Southport was enough to tip her over the edge over the next few days. Connelly ceased to be a person became a demonized figure stripped of nuance and humanity. Conservative counselor's racist wife, that was her name, from now on.

Looking back, we can see how it was expedient for panicking politicians to blame social media for civil unrest rather than acknowledge the growing anxiety about uncontrolled immigration that fueled the writing. That would have meant official Dem shouldering some of the blame. While social media can amplify content that inflames tensions, there is little or no evidence that a single post persuades law- abiding people to engage in violent protest. And in a way, let me know in the comments and chat. Do you believe the principle of free speech has to be measured against incitement to violence? And aren't there already laws about the incitement of violence? And do you not suspect that any attempt to increase legislation is ultimately just a method for creating more and more centralized authority and more and more ability of the government to assert control without it ever looking like that uh that's their agenda.

Losing weight ain't just about looking good. It's about taking back control over your overall health. Yeah, that's an abstract concept I can get behind. 42% of adults in America are classified as obese. That means pudgy. Obesity is directly linked to severe health issues including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and so many more. These illnesses are costing America over $173 billion each year in medical expenses alone. If you've tried diets and different workouts with no success, that ain't your fault. Big food and big farmer have rigged the system against you by contradicting information. What leave you all confused inside your mind hole. But there's good news. The wellness company just dropped a GLP1 peptide oral drop formula developed by their chief medical board specifically designed to support your metabolism, curb cravings, and help you shed weight. You're going to be right skinny and lovely. That's right. No injections or the risk of severe side effects we're seeing in the Zmpic. You know, fatty fatty jab jabs. Simply take a drop in water gradually increasing the quantity over time and let your body do the rest. Start your weight loss journey today and get $50 off plus free shipping.

On the 30th of July, the day after Conny's tweet, K Star was jered when he laid a wreath at the scene of the Southport attack and hastily scuttled away, earning him the nickname 19 seconds for the amount of time he'd given the distraught crowd. That same day, newly elected MP Farage, Nigel Farage, that is, posted a video in which they asked whether the police were deliberately withholding information from the public and wondered whether the incident was terror related. The reform UK leader was widely criticized giving legitimacy to for giving legitimacy to conspiracy theories about the Southport attacker, which were true of course ultimately. So no wonder there's a sort of a rise in interest in nivist politics and explicitly anti-immigration politics in particular and border controls and ideas that sort of in the 40s and 50s which many people regard in spite of the wars and sort of economic decline as a somewhat golden era particularly compared to the way that England is headed at the moment down at the police station in Northampton. Meanwhile, it was dawning on Lucy Connley that a protest stations uh had been a terrible error of judgment. I couldn't quite believe what I was being told by the police. Someone had never broken the law. Lucy will recall. Whatever I'd done, the police made it clear that I was going down, that their intention was always to hammer me. The omens were definitely not good.

Lucy's lawyer, a young duty solicitor, commissioned a psychiatric report of his client, but it felt weirdly peruncter. Far from the rigorous evaluation she'd had in London after her son's death when she got her diagnosis of PTSD. This new psychiatrist who spoke to Lucy for just an hour didn't even ask about the death of her child. There was worse to come. The police and CPS released a statement saying that Lucy told officers she did not like immigrants and claimed her children were not safe for them. But Lucy hadn't said that. What she said in a long interview was, "I'm well aware we need immigrants. I'm well aware that if I go to a hospital, there are immigrants working there and the hospital wouldn't function without them. I'm also well aware of the difference between legal and illegal immigrants and they are and that they needn't necessarily be criminal and they needn't be a threat to children." Sentiments shared by a lot of people. Also, by the way, in a free democratic, open society, you're allowed to have opinions that run contrary to the view of your government. In fact, it's ought be encouraged. Lucy broke down and cried when she heard how her words were being misrepresented. Wherever else she was, she's not a bigot. Her and her two sisters have been raised by an old-fashioned socialist mother to abore racism. The conflation of racism and sort of having a position on migration has been one of the trends of the last few years that's been used to uh override and overwhelm people have contrary or difficult views. The colonies asked for a transcript of the police interviews which was grudgingly handed over after a long delay. Her mother complained to the CPS and they corrected the statement on their website to match what Lucy had actually said. It turned out to be too late. Police also accused Lucy of a previous racist post. Turns out she's called her friend a py after he called her a bra [ __ ] Even ban uh could be passed off as evidence of malignant character.

This increasing authority that we're granting to various bureaucracies and agencies and institutions with government will be used however they want to use it. Unless you have clear laws sanctioned by and agreed to by the population that they'll be subsequently applied to, they ultimately end up as weapons in the hands of the powerful. as is clearly the case in the Lucy Connelly matter. Is it right that Lucy Connelly posted a sort of racist and incendiary tweets? Of course it isn't. It's insensitive and wrong. Is it a criminal judicial issue? I would say it isn't. I would say it's a moral matter and it's an example of massive government overreach. Let me know what you think though in the comments and chat.

With 30 people a day being arrested for social media posts, is the United Kingdom increasingly turning into an authoritarian nation where laws are created so that the people and institutions of power can decide and determine who to prosecute, who to shut down, who to jail, and who to control retrospectively or on the basis of stuff they've said online. It seems that that is the position. Why armor's government so unpopular? Why was there no inquiry into the rape gang crisis? What exactly is going on? Why is there so frequently murmurings, mutterings, and rumors of pedophilia when it comes to politicians? The Dolphin Square scandal, the talk that politicians were using kids in care homes. ideas that were discussed in the 80s and 90s by pioneering let's call them journalists and public speakers like David Ike who was one of the first people actually to ever be cancelled who was always on the front foot saying that figures like Jimmy Savile had peculiar relationships with people in positions of power. Why is it that these investigations and inquiries never take place? Let me know why you think that would be in the comments and chat. Wouldn't they benefit from there being an inquiry into rape gangs? Why wouldn't you want that? Let me know why you think that could be.

Lucy had already deleted her Twitter account after posting, "I know people are angry, but violence is not the answer." So, she weren't going to commit any further offenses, nor was she about to do a runner, not with her family at home. In short, there was no justification for keeping her in custody. Ordinarily, bail would have been a formality, but judges were refusing all bail applications connected to the Southport riots. Notably, some of the most senior judges were drafted in to handle cases which would normally be dealt with in magistrates courts. But magistrates could only impose sentences of up to 12 months. Clearly not what the prime minister had in mind. Was it true as some have suggested that judges all had their orders from above? That seems unlikely. I think it was more informal pressure, says one senior lawyer who represented a Southport defendant. A fear of rioting that had the effect of inducing a herd mentality. There was a sense that judges had to crack down hard on this. So, it had to be the same effect as an order from on high. People like Lucy Connelly were casualties. Collateral damage if you like.

With her bail application refused and being held on remand, Lucy Connelly panicked. Imagine you're a middle-class mother with a child at home, says one lawyer. You've never had any contact with the police. Suddenly, you're arrested, thrown in jail. There's a feeling of bewilderment and terror. Pretty extraordinary how this case appears to have got out of hand. No wonder that Joe Rogan and Elon Musk have been posting about this matter as an example of a a country well out of control of authoritarianism, almost looking for reasons to prosecute, persecute, and control information and control a population that's increasingly dissatisfied. And with good reason. And with the rape gang crisis, with the stabbing crisis, with people being jailed for stuff they said on social media, it's pretty clear that the UK is becoming an island penitentiary. But that's just what I think. Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
