Yes really.
The sentence handed out to David Spring is the latest shocking example of how low the bar has now been set in terms of free speech in response to rioting that occurred after the murder of three girls in Southport last month.
Spring attended a demonstration of around 700 people in London on July 31 which turned disorderly.
Police bodycam footage that was played in court showed Spring calling police officers “cunts,” making “hostile gestures” and joining in with chants of “who the fuck is Allah” and “you’re not English anymore.”
While Spring’s behavior could be described as offensive and unruly, the fact that he will spend the next year and a half behind bars for saying mean words exemplifies how the UK has slipped into extreme authoritarianism in the space of just two weeks.

When he was arrested, Spring told police, “I didn’t go up to London to riot. I went to complain about people put up in hotels,” referring to illegal immigrants staying in hotels at taxpayer expense.
Defending lawyer Piers Kiss-Wilson said, “The defendant asked me to put forward his apologies to the court and he says he is embarrassed by his behaviour and he is ashamed by it.”
“He also wants to apologise to his family and friends and his wife who don’t deserve this.”
The man’s wife, who suffers from ill health, will now be deprived of her primary carer thanks to Spring’s imprisonment.

The question once again arises as to why these individuals are continuing to plead guilty despite the fact that it is not preventing them from being handed jail time.
Despite the fact that the legislation surrounding hate speech and incitement is more draconian in the UK than in numerous other major western countries, one would think a good free speech lawyer would be able to defend these people more adeptly.
As we highlighted yesterday, Spring’s sentence is only outdone in its absurdity by cases where online speech of people who never even attended riots is leading to prison sentences.
Another man was imprisoned for 2 months merely for posting the words “coming to a town near you” alongside images of Muslim men on Facebook.

I doubt these people arrested are legit. instead, they are agent provocateurs that are used to scare average people into self censorship and not attending legitimate protests. Do not believe anything on maintain stream and alternative news.

Can anyone please clarify what is offensive about calling someone not English any more?
Suppose you called a person “You’re not a man any more.” Then you laughed at the hormone pills they are taking. That’s cruel and unjust because it shows prejudice and intolerance.
A person who is no longer English may look the same. He just has a completely new set of cultural values he never had before. The reasons for the change may be none of your business. But if I’m allowed to learn more facts about all this then I’m open to a new journey of discovery. Regrets, it’s prejudice again and until we remove the prejudice then we are going about it all the wrong way. And this goes for those of us OUTSIDE the prison not just inside.
Feeling not good 😨

Ohhhh, I get it, it's that pathetic goy subhuman who blames the religion of over 25% of earth's population over the drop of a hat but then proceeds to worship a DEATH CULT that literally approves of SUCKING ZERO-YEAR-OLD INFANTS' BLOOD OUT OF THEIR PEEPEES because Ketubot.11b.6 in its filthy "hOlY tAlMuD" said so and is committing THE LITERAL DEADLIEST GENOCIDE OF THE 21ST CENTURY!!!
This is just a TINY FRACTION of the "wonderful and rational" mentalities of Islamophobes like *it*
