My message to the government of the United Kingdom

I have written about this before, but I feel compelled to do it again:

Government of the United Kingdom: Your country is a bona fide police state. You are literally, explicitly and unironically policing speech. The latest incident where your police arrested (not just warned or cited, but literally arrested) someone for simply saying in public that he likes bacon, is but the latest notorious incident of speech policing.

At the same time there are many places in your country where more serious crimes, such as burglaries, theft, home invasions, vandalism, destruction of private property etc. have an arrest rate of less than 1%. The vast, vast majority of incidents are not even investigated at all. The cops are not even sent to investigate. Conviction rates for many of these crimes are absolutely abysmal.

Your country has no free speech. Your police forces have speech policing as a higher priority than many other crimes, and are arresting people for completely innocuous words.

Your country, the United Kingdom, is a complete disgrace. You should feel ashamed and embarrassed of yourselves.

I'm glad that I don't live in your country. And I will never, ever, ever, move there, or even visit it. If I lived in the United Kingdom I would be in jail for my expression of opinions, just like you have thrown in jail so many other people for theirs.
