Can’t wait to see all the libertarian politicians and newspapers splashing on this miscarriage of justice.
I don’t think people should be arrested for saying mean and cunty things.
The guys a complete nob but how is this a criminal offence?
I have nothing but the greatest of respect for “Captain Tom”. Genuinely, veterans advocate my whole life.
​
But this is shit.
Soon voting for the wrong person will be an offense too.
Is it icy in here or is that Slippery slope still fake?
​
Might use it to slide away.
Remember, this is happening under the Tories who have been in power for over 10 years. Don’t blame this on “woke” or “liberals” or “lefties”. Boris Johnson has been in power since July 2019 and we’re now into February 2022. David Cameron became PM in May 2010 and handed over to Theresa May in 2016. That’s 3 different Conservative Prime Ministers running Tory majorities at different moments, even if you dismiss the early years coalition they have still all had a majority at one point or another and Boris has had a massive majority. They’ve all done nothing to stop these actions and in fact have made it easier for the police and courts to punish people for tweets and comments online.
Tories hate freedom of speech. They hate freedom to protest. I know this news will upset the “free speech” group who are usually right wing but it is also clear your right wing politicians don’t agree with you and wish to censor people for their thoughts.
Dick move, but as I’ve always said, saying something horrible on the internet shouldnt get plod knocking on your door.

If they find the tweet ‘grossly offensive’ and charge him, I’d like to speak to them about our current PM.
I believe in free speech, but I think anybody who criticizes Captain Tom deserves to be arrested.
