I thought that was their main purpose And what determines needless as opposed to needed anxiety?

I am a glass half full sort of guy. I will have compensation in watching Islam remove the annoying feminist vote, for example. If women become property again , I might just buy one. BLM will be lined up waiting for the executioner along with apostate liberals. If they are depending on people like me to help them turn it around when they let it advance to stage three, they will be in for a surprise.

Hey, the US is not far behind as far as I can tell. Sadly, there are more and more US citizens that want America to be more European and are willing to give up our freedoms in order to emulate those countries.

London Mayor To Set Up Police

That's right. If you go on a forum and you annoy someone or make them nervous they can turn you in to the police and you can be prosecuted and put in prison for 6 months. The police are telling everyone to report it and guess who is going to help them do it, in addition to the safe space babies: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft.

Some Irish pastor made "grossly offensive" remarks about Islam in an online sermon so the police spent a year and a half of taxpayer money investigating it, then they prosecuted him and thank God, he was found not guilty.

A Scottish football fan got 8 months in prison for insulting Celtic fans, Catholics and the pope online.

And the London police are FINE with it. They are welcoming the extra workload.

Well, let us Americans do the dirty work on their forums!! LOL

I've said it before and I'll say it again ---- For me, this is probably the worst country on the planet. I traveled extensively throughout Greece, Italy and the French Riviera/Corsica......and just got back from 28 days in India - but I'd never step foot in the UK. Never spend a bent nickel there.

It's the father/brainchild of the modern surveillance society. A few years back, the government was using concealed cctv cameras to fine citezens for putting too much garbage in their cans. Then people were taking the excess garbage out in their cars and dumping it elsewhere. So the government started setting up checkpoints to search cars for trash!!

Many many of their people still embrace both the notion and tradition of kings and kingdoms....

Very creepy place that I hope Americans continue to learn not to duplicate or embrace any of their traditions or customs.

Indeed.

The liberals are hoping they can confuse the islamic terrorists by claiming to be in the middle of their transgender procedures and thus must wait to see if their punishment will be male or female appropriate.

They fail to realize that the meat hook goes in the common orifice.

Free speech is not allowed in Great Britain. "Hate speech" is anything the Left disagrees with in GB.

We aren't far behind. If Hillary is elected president, the first amendment is one Supreme Court justice away from being outlawed.
