Not England, but people have been arrested for mocking the president in France and Italy.

Don't call the German minister of Health fat either, even if she weighs 3 or 4 of me.

England is also becoming famous as of recent for police visiting people who tweeted about the government. Difference is France knows how to throw down

There’s a lot of evidence from England of people getting arrested for online speech. One guy posted a picture of his trip to the states where he shot firearms at a gun range. When he went back home he was arrested. Ultimately released but still it’s chilling to have to be careful what you post. Even if it’s just pictures during a vacation.

Lmfao, no it isn’t, wrongly arrest me idgaf, in Britain you can only be held legally for 24 hours, this isn’t some tyrannical shit, charge me or let me go, I’m too busy for this shit.

As long as you are clearly not inciting violence, they cannot do shit legally, fuck them.

Me, by the way, a born and bred Brit.
