Last June… June 2024.

Oh sorry… I saw something saying he was arrest for waving a flag.
Apparently that was wrong… he was arrested for speaking.

Funny… you like to criticize the US for revoking a non-citizen of her Student Visa for her speech. Yet in the UK apparently they arrest citizen’s for their speech. We didn’t arrest that student… we just revoked her Visa. In the UK they don’t value your right to voice your opinion if your opinion violates the sensibilities of the new power players in town.

Slippery slope… who decides when a simple Facebook post is just an exercise of a right to freedom of expression and when it instead is “inciting” violence? I certainly don’t trust the Gov’t of the UK with this decision.
Seems like Ralf enjoys throwing stones when he lives in a glass house.

You seem to be getting gradually closer to the point of this thread. She was deported for exercising her legally protected right to protest.
Your UK example is irrelevant. The UK has laws against racist hate speech. That that man broke them and he was therefore arrested. None of his legal rights have been violated anywhere in that process.

Nationalism has had a fairly bad rep in Western Europe ever since that German guy with the funny moustache. You won't find many flags being flown outside of a sporting context.

And her visa was revoked in response to her exercising her First Amendment right to protest. Are you comfortable with the US Government punishing people for engaging in peaceful protest?

Sure… when I toured The Tower of London and Windsor Castle.
Walking along the streets of London however I saw a ton of “Pride” flags (there was a parade overlapping the week I was there)… and a bunch of Palestinian flags. There were many corners occupied by Muslim ‘preachers’ blasting their music and “Prayers” at volumes that should’ve been considered “disturbing the peace” IMHO. I saw very few UK flags other than those at official gov’t buildings and tourist places, and in souvenir shops.
(I admit having to google your slang.)

It needs to come back… at least on some level… otherwise your country will be overrun and you’ll become little New Palestine within the next 20 years of sooner.bigtoughralf wrote:jimboston wrote:She was deported because her Visa was revoked.

I am comfortable with the US gov’t revoking student Visas of foreign nationals when they engage in verbally violent hateful speech in support of known terrorist organizations. Yes.
When they start threatening to arrest citizens who post some off color stuff on Facebook… then I’ll be worried. When they tell citizens we can’t have counter protests in opposition to racist Nazi’s or Terrorist Hamas supports… then I’ll be worried. These are things that your gov’ts currently calls illegal.

What are the stats for London proper?
I’m sure in the city they start to move in the direction suggested.
Add 20 years with breeding and immigration rates… then see what I’m talking about.
I didn’t say it would happen tomorrow… but you are already ceding your country.
Keep sitting on your hands and letting it happen.
