This is Why We Should Be Happy That Patriots Shot a Lot of Redcoats

A former soldier who served in Afghanistan and Iraq has been sentenced to two years in prison for incendiary social media posts. "We are already in a civil war" might be interpreted by some as an accurate description of the generalized anti-Western attack by immigrants who wish to impose the same failed culture of their old country on Britain. It is utterly bizarre that violence done while shouting "Allahu Akbar" should be considered far less serious than verbal condemnations of the ideology that inspires such violence.

Even noticing that an anti-Western cult is a problem and that it poses an actual threat to British people, their law and culture is now a thought crime in the UK.

The Brits now have a category of offense: "non-criminal hate incident," or NCHI, which gives the state the right to harass, threaten or silence the offender. (Apparently, expressing hatred of Jews in particular and non-Muslims in general does not count.)

The ever-so-enlightened ruling elite has refused to examine the rather obvious consequences of importing people who want all the benefits of British law and culture (in stark contrast to conditions in their countries of origin) while seeking to destroy it all. Ingratitude and sheer stupidity should be grounds for immediate deportation.

If the truth is deemed an extremist view, then only extremists will utter it.

The honorable Ms. Lloyd-Clarke would not have a gavel and a wig if shariah were law. The class of men she likely despises would be more willing to defend (or avenge) her if she were attacked by young men of indeterminate ethnicity with presumably unclear motives than she is willing to defend the rights of her likely defenders.

The beautiful people love to pretend they can find the "root causes" of bad behavior among favored victim groups, but there can be no such inquiry when white people act out in obvious, uncomplicated opposition to elitist idiocy. What is the "root cause" of the widespread cognitive and moral failures on the part of our alleged betters?

    Absolutely astounding.

    She thinks she's a noble, enlightened, cosmopolitan. But only a sheltered view of the world and a profound intolerance for dissention could possibly lead someone to such absurd ideas as hers.

    It takes a lifetime of indoctrination to reach that point.

    We're just beginning to understand the impact of conceding control of our educational system to the left. Imagine this in 10-20 years.

    I wonder how people hold absurd ideas a lot and it's current again with the new congressman coming to DC and the battle to keep him out of women's bathrooms.

    It's crazy that people are so willing to say with a straight face that a male most definitely is a woman now and must be allowed in women's restrooms. An idea so stupid only an intellectual could hold it. They're a bit like Gnostics who have hidden knowledge. If you say that it's basic biology that there are two sexes and you can't change between them, they reply that yes, that is basic biology but advanced biology explains multiple sexes and you're backwards. It's maddening.

    I don't understand turning justice upside down by letting criminals free and jailing harmless people.

    Oh, it gets better:

    Schoolboy, 9, among thousands investigated for non-crime hate incidents after calling classmate 'r**ard':

    The nine-year-old in question called a fellow primary school pupil a “r**ard”, whilst in another instance, two secondary school girls are being looked into after they said another student smelled “like fish”

    Downing Street is "reassessing its guidance"

    after [Telegraph] journalist Allison Pearson became subject to an police investigation regarding a social media post she made a year ago.

    Pearson has now claimed that the police have branded her "unethical," because she reported her "awful experience" in the pages of her newspaper.

    This is eerily reminiscent of the stories delivered by Mark Steyn (before he was fired by GBNews), that victims of the Rotherham grooming/rape gangs who spoke out on his show (specifically, I believe it was Samantha Smith) were visited and harassed by British police who told her that she shouldn't speak out publicly about her experience.)

    It's my hope that among them, Allison Pearson, Kemi Badenoch, and J.K Rowling will sort this out.
