Regarding Herr Kommissar Starmer’s latest outrage.
Let me get this straight:
Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X.
And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.

I’m trying a little experiment on an end-run of my own devising around the annoying “Show more…” Twatter links. Let’s see how it goes. Inline update! Nope, didn’t work. Oh well, whatcha gonna do. No biggie, really; if Elon needs the extra clicks, I’m okay with not depriving him of ‘em.
As for Herr Starmer, Divemedic makes a crucial point.
The UK says that they will extradite and prosecute Americans for saying mean things on the Internet, which is a violation of UK law. It’s illegal to say mean things while engaging in political speech online.
You might scoff, but remember that it won’t be UK police coming to arrest you. It will be US cops coming to haul you away to be sent to the UK for doing something that is entirely legal to do here in the US.
Indeed. Thank goodness no US cop would ever arrest and/or extradite an America citizen to Britainistan for exercising his God-given, Constitutionally-protected right to free speech. What a relief!
If American black-robed tyrants see fit to honor unconstitutional foreign extradition warrants, and American douchebadges see fit to collect folks based upon them, I’m fine with anyone shooting all those wannabe-tyrannical motherfuckers in the face, on sight, 24/7/365, wherever found, until they re-think that cunning plan, or we run out of targets.
I’m fine with either outcome.
And the Limey bastard PM can kiss my shiny metal ass, after he eats a bag of dicks. I’m at his service the minute he thinks his laws apply to foreign citizens, and cares to put his money where his mouth is. We’ve kicked their asses back to Britain twice, but if he’s down for a third go for a little reminder, I’m down for it without reservation.
Their move.
That’s a cause for revolution – “for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses” https://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1776-1785/jeffersons-draft-of-the-declaration-of-independence.php – then … and now.
