Transcripts
the Draconian backlash to the UK riots
has accelerated to totally insane levels
in the space of just two weeks the bar
has been set so low they're now set in
the precedent that this kind of speech
is illegal 40-year-old Wayne o rock
arrested on Sunday by linken sh police
one of the main reasons for his arrest
according to the BBC posting on social
media quote anti-establishment
rhetoric okay fair enough
then wait what anti-establishment
retoric so arrested for criticizing the
government on social media like they do
in communist China is this really where
we're at o mate have you got a license
for that anti-establishment rhetoric ack
had nearly 100,000 followers on X now to
be clear that's not the only reason they
gave for the arrest expressing support
for the riots and offering advice on how
to remain anonymous being to others but
the fact that they cited posting
anti-establishment rhetoric as one of
the primary reasons probably reveals a
little bit more than they intended
Bernie spff arrested ostensibly for
posting inaccurate information on X
specifically by falsely suggesting the
Southport attacker was a Muslim Refugee
but then caveat the Tweet with the words
if this is true then all hell is about
to break loose being mistaken about
something online is apparently a crime
now thing is as the Free Speech Union
which is likely to take up her case
explains it's not we will be amazed if
she is charged but if she is we will pay
for her defense while miss spof may be
guilty of spreading misinformation that
isn't yet a crime and it would be hard
to charge her with the Section 179 false
Communications offense created by the
Online safety act because one of its
tests is that quote the message conveys
information the person knows to be false
clearly this isn't the case here and yet
being wrong on the Internet is now
apparently enough for you to get a knock
on the
door please open the door 61-year-old
David spring arrested for chanting who
the f is all and for calling police
officers the CW as well as chanting at
them you're not English anymore 18
months in prison oh okay that seems fair
did they just introduce blasphemy laws
on a whim without telling us and why are
they being selectively applied Spring's
wife who suffers from serious ill health
will now be deprived of her primary
career thanks to his imprisonment
doesn't matter lock him up Lee Joseph
done arrested and jailed for posting
offensive memes on Facebook 8 weeks in
prison wow these memes must have been
pretty awful right they consisted of
images of groups of men Asian in
appearance alongside the words coming to
a town near you all right that seems
fair and if posting inaccurate
information about riots online is now a
criminal offense why are the people on
the other side of the political Spectrum
who post inaccurate information about
riots not being arrested or charged in
one case a brazenly untrue but
incendiary claim that a Muslim woman had
been acid attacked by right Wingers and
another claim that excused the behavior
of a gang of Muslim men in Birmingham
who went on to engage in violent
disorder we keep being told that two
tier policing in the UK is a myth and
yet there's two concrete examples of it
they get to apologize and immediately
move on yet people on the right even if
they profusely apologize get instant
prison sentences right okay that seems
fair it's a question I've heard so many
times before Paul you're nearly pushing
middle age all right rude how come you
look 10 years younger than you are only
10 well it's not rocket science it's
called regularly moisturizing your face
and having a good skincare routine
that's why I'm excited to have te Hanley
as the sponsor of today's video they
help Men start and maintain a skincare
routine by simplifying the entire
process I recommend you start with the
level one system which comes with all
the basics a daily face wash to get rid

grooming kit they've pouched it up all
nice as well personally I prefer the
Silicon body scrubber because it just
feels so soft and silky on the skin oo
not going to lie that does feel nice so
don't wait any longer click the link in
the description box down below to start
your skin care Journey today my starting
point when it comes to the consideration
of any issue relating to free speech is
my passionate Bel that the second most
precious thing in life is the right to
express yourself freely the most
precious thing in life I think is food
in your mouth and the third most
precious is a roof over your head the
clear problem with the outlawing of
insult is that too many things can be
interpreted as such criticism is easily
construed as insult by certain parties
ridicule easily construed as insult
sarcasm UNF aable comparison merely
stating an alternative point of view to
the Orthodoxy can be interpreted as
insult and because so many things can be
interpreted as insult it is hardly
surprising but so many things have been
the best way to increase society's
resistance to insulting or offensive
speech is to allow a lot more of it
another Salient question keeps popping
up why are the vast majority of
individuals in these cases immediately
pleading guilty especially that even
under the UK's Draconian hate speech
laws they'd stand a very good chance of
successfully defending themselves are
they even aware that the authorities
can't at least not yet give it a couple
of weeks just imprison you on a whim
without proving what law you've broken
unless you plead guilty if you plead not
guilty it goes to court and if you get a
good lawyer you might walk free do they
not know that and who if anyone's
telling them otherwise Duty solicitors
get your own solicitor again as the free
speech Union explains in some cases such
as Bernie spor no laws were broken
they're now telling us observing a riot
merely laying guys on it not even taking
part in it is a criminal offense really
under what law totally absurd what do
you do if you just happen to be walking
through the city and end up in the
vicinity of one immediately put a
blindfold on oh mate have you got a
license for that IAI this guy got a year
in jail for literally just being drunk a
protest even the judge questioned the
sentence remarking he did not hit anyone
throw anything or spit at anybody this
guy was banged up for 26 months for
gesticulating and shouting at police
officers two years plus behind bars for
basically being angry okay seems totally
fair and given the UK's full to the brim
prison capacity who's getting released
to make room for Boomers who post spicy
memes on Facebook Korea criminals with
more than 100 convictions okay okay that
seems fair who's not even getting prison
time to begin with thieves people who
assault police officers inside airports
no charges yet despite the assault being
detailed on camera nonsters with
hundreds of CP images on the computers
sex offenders groomers people who molest
girls many such cases fugitive Bank
scammers massive benefit frauders people
who batter school girls with metal bars
oh yeah and people who illegally enter
the UK who don't get imprisoned or
deported but get free hotel rooms food
cash and complimentary Healthcare while
you pay for it oh okay that seems
fair if you value what I do and you want
