The parallels between our time and earlier times of state intervention are obvious. But just as obvious is the expanse of time that separates us is very thin indeed. Tyranny waxes with Covid and with Orwellian thought crimes punished by the State. Tyranny waxed previously under a different constituency. The New Medical Order is the greatest tyranny man has seen. The crime of the man below was not around Covid. He may indeed be fully vaccinated and all on board with more vaccinations. His crime is holding his own opinion.

Not on a soap box in Hyde Park I dare say. If he was on a soap box in Hyde Park I believe under English custom so long as this opinion held ONLY was expressed in Hyde Park with no “medias” present on a dark and stormy day with no one about to hear but the air that told the crow that whispered to the police who then did nothing since it was merely private opinion, no intimidation would arise.
Free speech and equally free reaction.
Schenck vs. The United States set down handing out war resistance material at an induction station in WW1 was shouting fire in a crowded theater. Under our Covid War laws Pandemic Emergency justifies anything. So why not in a country with Monarchy, Aristocrats, no Bill of Rights, and a history of the casual crushing of the population by the Actually Existing Social Arrangement with a Bank of England presiding over all, why not repress in a casual way? The poor blighter over there in the UK is getting a visit because he thought free speech OUTSIDE of Hyde Park was allowed for non-Muslims. Now he knows and it’s up to him. The coppers might decide this vile racist must be taught a lesson just as Fred Hampton was taught a lesson.
Early in the predawn hours of December 4, 1969, a Peoples Gas truck pulled up in front of an apartment building at 2337 W. Monroe St. in the West Side of Chicago. Fourteen plainclothes Chicago Police officers quietly filed out of the undercover truck, armed with pistols, a shotgun, a machine gun, and a detailed map of their target, an apartment occupied by leaders of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party.
The map clearly identified the bedroom of Fred Hampton, the 21-year-old “chairman” of the Chicago Black Panthers, who was asleep beside his eight-month-pregnant fiancée. At 4:30 a.m., the police kicked down the front door and started shooting. Ballistics reports later showed that they fired more than 90 times, including machine gun rounds through exterior walls and windows. https://www.history.com/news/black-panther-fred-hampton-killing
