The Crime of Speaking English in Once Great Britain, but “Great” No More! By Richard Miller (London)
Today at the blog the question has been asked,why it is not worthwhile for White British people to defend Britain, as it exists at present. There are many reasons: the Great Replacement by mass immigration, and destruction of civil liberties, noted by JD Vance and Elon Must are the main reasons. What is there left to defend? To make my case further, consider the report below detailing how a White man was arrested for asking a diverse person to speak English, even though English is the language of the supposed nation.
But is gets even worse. A mother was arrested and jailed for seven hours after she confiscated iPads from her own children because she wanted them to concentrate on their homework. Apparently, the kids got onto the ex who complained to the police, who not being interested in dealing with real crime, such as skyrocketing rapes, knife attacks and robberies, saw an easy hit, giving them more time to get back to the station and eat donuts.
The UK is already surpassing levels of tyranny not even anticipated by George Orwell in 1984.

"The Mother Country of Great Britain gave the American colonists the idea that free speech is a good thing. That's why it's so tragic to see that free speech in the United Kingdom is rapidly becoming a distant memory. I say this because we've just learned that the newest "hate crime" in England, a country determined to control its citizens' speech, is asking someone to speak English.
The British people had long considered freedom of speech one of their core, unwritten rights. It was a cultural norm (or, as the British might have said, "an ancient right and liberty") and became a reality in the political sphere when it was written into the English Bill of Rights of 1689: "That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament." By 1735, when the Zenger Case, in New York, made truth a defense against libel claims, the right to speech advanced outside of the four walls of Parliament and made its way into the general population.
When the colonists rebelled against Great Britain, they did so because they believed that Great Britain was denying them their inherent ("unalienable") rights (not just speech but all rights) under the Magna Carta of 1215, the English Bill of Rights, British common law, and the general cultural norms of Britain. Great Britain responded by saying that these rights were limitations on the Crown, not on Parliament.
Given that the Crown was already a fading power by the mid-18th century, with this argument, Britain essentially announced that the British people had no inherent rights but had only the privileges that Parliament granted them. From that point forward, while speech rights advanced in America, they declined in Britain.
That history is how we get to a situation in which asking someone to speak English—the native language of England—is a hate crime in England:
Free speech can be ugly. …
However, what I hate even more than speech that offends or even frightens me is the government deciding what speech is or is not allowed in the realm of opinions. As we've seen across the world, an unconstrained government will inevitably start deciding which group is most likely to maintain its power and will then define as "hate speech" anything that challenges its power base. Once that happens, you no longer live in a free country; you live in a totalitarian country.
And so it is that Great Britain, which provided the genesis for American ideas about liberty, has morphed into George Orwell's worst nightmare."

Yes, really.

It's the latest insane story of police overreach from the backwards UK, where stabbings are just an everyday occurrence and robberies are not even investigated, but people saying mean words about the 'wrong' things are thrown in prison.
Now responsible parenting is the target.
The LBC report notes:
History teacher Vanessa Brown, 50, spent seven-and-a-half hours in a custody cell on March 26 this year, following a claim she had stolen two iPads which were traced to her mother's house in Cobham, Surrey.
Yet it transpired that the two devices belonged to her daughters, and Ms Brown had merely confiscated them to encourage them to focus on their schoolwork, a fact Surrey Police has now acknowledged.
"I find it quite traumatic even talking about this now," Ms Brown recalled.
"At no point did they [the officers] think to themselves, 'Oh, this is a little bit of an overreaction for a moment, confiscating temporarily her iPads and popping over to her mum's to have a coffee'. It was just a complete overreaction.
It isn't made exactly clear who reported the iPads stolen, but it seems to have been the ex-partner of the woman.
In any case, why on Earth did police waste their time on this? Isn't there enough actual crime to deal with?
The police also prevented the woman from speaking to her own children following the accusation. They also pulled one of the children out of school for questioning.
Neil O'Brien, a Tory MP and shadow education minister, commented on the incident, noting "This is beyond absurd. People are having phones snatched all the time and police won't follow up even when they know where they are, yet a law abiding person can end up in a cell for hours on end for taking away their own kids' iPads."
Richard Tice, the deputy Reform UK leader, said that the "world has gone mad," adding that "Police need to catch real criminals not mums looking after their children!"
Greg Smith, the shadow business minister, added his criticism, remarking "Absolutely mad. A parent chooses when their child gets screen time and anything that challenges that is absolutely bonkers."
Harry Miller, a former police officer who works with the free speech campaign group Fair Cop, urged that police in the UK are becoming "Stasi like".
"They have become agents of a state orthodoxy rather than upholders of the law. It shows a complete lack of awareness of what theft is – a parent confiscating an iPad doesn't even come close to meeting that definition," he urged.
"I think they should do more than apologise and remove themselves from office, because operating like that is a form of kidnap," Miller continued.
"They repeatedly overreach and they seem to have taken it upon themselves to become social engineers. That is not the role of the police," he further asserted."
