UK government threatens citizens who share riot footage
The British government is threatening taxpayers with prosecution if they share footage of the anti-immigration riots that have plagued the UK now for over a week.
Mass protests erupted throughout the country last week after 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, the son of Rwandan immigrants, stabbed to death three little girls under 10 years old. While originally suspected of being a Muslim immigrant, Rudakubana has come to symbolize the anti-White sentiment being driven by the UK government’s “diversity” messaging.
‘Dedicated police officers who are scouring social media’
As some of the protests turned violent, the newly elected Labour government vowed to crack down on the “far-Right thugs” involved. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised to increase mass surveillance of citizens and has demanded more censorship from social media companies.
Now the government has issued another threat, this time aimed at citizens who so much as share the footage online.
"The offense of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to or likely to start racial hatred," Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson said Wednesday.
"So if you retweet that, then you're republishing that and then potentially you're committing that offense," he continued. "And we do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look for this material and then follow up with identification arrests and so forth. So it's really, really serious."
"People might think they're not doing anything, harmful. They are, and the consequences will be visited upon them," Parkinson warned.
Government keeps its word
The government has kept its word, and police have arrested at least four taxpayers for posting “harmful content” online over the last two days.
28-year-old Jordan Parlour was arrested for a Facebook post encouraging rioters to target the Brittania Hotel in Leeds, which reportedly houses illegal migrants. The post came around the same time that the hotel allegedly had a window broken by rioters.
“Every man and his dog should smash the f**k out of the Britannia Hotel,” Parlour wrote, adding: “Cos they are over here living the life of Reilly, off the tax you hard working people earn, when it could be put to better use.”
Parlour was arrested at his girlfriend’s home and brought before a judge, who denied him bail. He will be sentenced this Friday by the Leeds Crown Court and faces over a year in prison for his post.
On Wednesday, West Midlands Police arrested a 49-year-old man for “inciting racial hatred and possession of a firearm” after he posted disfavored content online, the Daily Mail reported. Cumbria police also arrested two other men in their early forties for posting “hate-related content.”
