Two-Tier Britain

[Khandro]

A 61 year old Englishman is sentenced to 18 months in prison for saying "who the f is Allah?"

While in the same country, "From the River to the sea" (meaning the total destruction of the Jews) was projected onto Big Ben and nobody was prosecuted.

He was also in the face of police calling them **nts.

Yeah, I caught Mahyah's video at the time.

 

One is a draconian panic response to a situation that has been allowed to ferment for ages. Which contrasts to unacceptable tolerance of behaviour from other groups simply because the police don't want to get involved and find they may end up with a larger incident.

 

Effectively, this differences in response means one law for one group and a different law for another.

 

Government needs to calm down, tackle the causes of the unrest, not just hit hard at those effects they choose not to ignore, and instruct all police forces to treat all citizens equally.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh dear the poor little police was called a naughty name. Oh that is unforgiveable. Maybe we should lock everyone up that says, "Boo", to someone in case some third party nearby gets offended on everyone's behalf.

"From the River to the sea" does not call for the total destruction of all Jews, it calls for the reclaim of a country that has been under illegal occupation by Zionists for years. Many Jews (especially hassidic and orthodox Jews) also support freedom for the Palestinian natives, who have suffered oppression for years. Prior to the invasion, Palestinians, Jewish and non-Jewish, lived in harmony.

[Spungle]

“From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” is a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathizers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to Hamas, which called for Israel’s destruction in its original governing charter in 1988 and was responsible for the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israeli civilians, murdering over 1,200 people in the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It is also a common call-to-arms for pro-Palestinian activists, especially student activists on college campuses. It calls for the establishment of a State of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing the State of Israel and its people.  It is, by it's very definition, an antisemitic chant.

Ever been to a footie match?

And the chant is usualy who is the c** with a t*t on his head.  Been like that for decades.

To confirm for the hard of thinking oin here, I'm not condoning the riots, in fact I am glad they have clamped down as now they will have to do it all the time or run the risk of being politicised.

Thechair: " it calls for the reclaim of a country that has been under illegal occupation by Zionists for years. " - You need to learn some history, Israel has been there since 3000bc. Stop being an Islamic puppet. Islam is a very new religion.

61 year old? Should've known better than to take a day off from looking after his very poorly wife, pop down to London and act like a belligerent teen.

He says he didn't go to riot, but he eagerly joined the group who broke through a cordon. If he only went there to protest about putting illegals up in hotels, why get in the face of the police - it's not their fault illegals are accomodated in such fashion.

I do hope his wife is being looked after by someone with some  common sense.

When was the last time a muslim was prosecuted for hate-speech ?

I just googled "have muslims been prosecuted for hate speech"

and drew endless links to 'muslim hate speech' but not anything at all as an answer. 

Funny that!

[bednobs]

there were 2 the other day, in relation to these riots (they were on the "other side" - in the 'anti-racism' bit) 

[bednobs]

but not hate speech - they were charged with violent disorder

[Ken4155]

The headline in the OP's link is misleading. I dare say that chanting "who the f is Allah" would have landed Springs with a fine, at best, but that wasn't his sole misdemeanour. He was charged with, and admitted to, violent disorder. Hence the porridge.

[bednobs]

ps that man you are referring to pleaded guilty to violent distorder.  I presume that projecting words onto a buiding wasnt disorder, or violent?

[bednobs]

snap, sorry, i type really slow

[ToraToraTora]

I know who Allah is, he's that bloke who runs the snack bar right?

[bednobs]

i have an earworm now :)

[david small]

This epitomises how discriminatory our shady legal system has become. Dictatorship, and a police state. Stalin would appreciate these treacherous 5cs ruining our once fair and pleasant land.

[bednobs]

people rioting does not a fair and pleasant land make.  Im with YMB on this - i'm pleased that people are being punished well for a change!
