The two examples the US uses - 'chilling online free speech after the Southport attacks' (translation: not giving credence to the lies Farage and the extreme right invented about the immigration status of the perpetrator in order to avoid people being burned to death in hotels) and 'prohibitions around silent prayer outside abortion clinics' (translation: stopping christofascists from trying to intimidate service users and providers) speak volumes about what fascist America sees as the only important free speech.
Not exactly complaining about grannies being arrested are they?
I'm sure they approve of that part
I won't be the one calling the UK blameless, but that's rich coming from the country that's doing what they are with ICE (which is just the latest one in a long list).
It's true, while hilariously hypocritical. I feel bad for laughing. But gallows humor, as they say.
SMDH in agreement. 😳
The blackest of pots meeting the blackest of kettles!
It doesn’t say they’re being critical.

They're right, but also massive hypocrites.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
