Scorched Earth. Yet people around the world go to sleep thinking it’s OK, it’s over there and doesn’t affect me. Here in the UK we can STILL be arrested for protesting by wearing a tshirt, holding a placard or posting online.
Sorry just back from work. Our Shit4Brains Government proscribed it to beso. Legislation approve and then, WHAM, we’re criminals. Police are the enforcement authority so as soon as there are any public images they have to arrest. Were taken to the local police station to be charged. Courts recently said not right so law needs to be repealed. However… It requires time in Parliament etc., so police still required to arrest us. The officers are generally genuinely not happy about it and have been polite. I think Ministers have been squeezing the cops to enforce or themselves face action. Not long now and we will stop being arrestable. Yes, until you pointed it out, the UK is worse than the US. [Post work shift tirade concluded]
He was protesting AI and the police misread his shirt and thought he was protesting Palestine. It’s not even if you’re wearing a shirt it’s if they THINK you are that’s enough to be arrested. Fucking wild imo
Wow. This is actual insanity wtf. This genuinely would never happen in the US, even under Trump the first amendment gives us very robust protections. I can’t think of a time anything like this has happened here.
The Brits abroad in Dubai aren’t very popular here. We’d rather that they didn’t return. Tax dodging wealthy morons with no role in UK society other than their self serving / self awarded role of moaning about the UK whilst not even living here. Notably they are silent about the laws where they live. They know the consequences!

Yes you can, and it is a felony, too.
And do employers treat it as a felony too?
