Country is nose–diving into authoritarianism after plethora of anti-free speech laws, geared towards citizens with opposing political beliefs, is putting dissidents into prison
“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government: When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates,” Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, the Pennsylvania Gazette.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” – The Constitution of the United States of America.
The Founding Fathers gave America a gift when they wrote the Constitution. By ensuring the rights of all Americans are protected and valued, the U.S. remains to this day, a beacon of hope and freedom.
The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is nose–diving into authoritarianism after a plethora of anti-free speech laws, geared towards citizens with opposing political beliefs, is putting dissidents into prison, while degenerates and pedophiles who partake in child pornography are set free.
In 2022, then Prime Minister Boris Johnson introduced a new “bill of rights,” which was presented to the public in such a way to make it appear to protect the free speech of British citizens. However, the bill contained a clause – the laws created by ministers would be exempt, it would not protect the people from threats posed by the government, and would in actual fact, extinguish government accountability.
Online threats of violence, encouraging self–harm, and transmitting deep fake pornography became illegal in 2023, when the U.K. government passed another controversial law, the “Online Safety Act,” which was pitched as a way to protect children from pornography, cyberbullying, and harassment.
However, the act created the new offense of “false communication,” which would include sharing any information the government deems “misinformation.” Such “misinformation” would include sharing anything negative surrounding Muslim grooming–gangs or the COVID–19 pandemic, its subsequent vaccines, and its lockdowns.
Both laws ride on the back of the Public Order Act 1986, which is “an act to abolish the common law offenses of riot, rout, unlawful assembly and affray and certain statutory offenses relating to public order; to create new offenses relating to public order; to control public processions and assemblies; to control the stirring up of racial hatred.”
According to a report from the National Review, Britain is in the grip of two–tier policing, and a two–tier justice system.
Online “right-wing” social media users accused of “publishing online material intended to stir racial hatred,” have been sentenced to prison terms of three years. Meanwhile, a man who murdered a 14-year-old boy with a machete, received a 6-month sentence.
