In the UK, it seems that holding a negative opinion about a terrorist organization is not only considered politically incorrect but also criminally incorrect.

A British blogger was arrested for posting 'F--- Hamas' in an online meme. The offense? It seems some considered it 'hateful,' so the police decided it was worthy of interrogation—arguing that it may, or may not, have been 'intended to stir up racial hatred.'

According to Fox News:

Pete North, 47, filmed officers arriving at his Yorkshire home in the U.K. on Sept. 25 and telling him he was being detained because he had "posted something on the internet" that a member of their hate crime team "didn’t appreciate."

The fact that Britain has a 'hate crime' team is proof enough that the country has fallen. The government and authorities have shown they are now in control of people’s thoughts to the point where you can be punished for holding political opinions the government deems incorrect. That’s not just totalitarian — it’s straight out of a dystopian novel.

The shocking footage shows an officer explaining that North was being arrested "on suspicion of publishing or distributing written material intended to stir up racial hatred."

Do they have any evidence that this may have stirred up racial hatred, or is that not necessary when detaining people? Does someone actually have to be convinced to racially hate a group for this law to apply, or is that not required?

The post in question had been shared by North on X in August and featured a Palestinian flag with the words: "F--- Palestine. F--- Hamas. F--- Islam. Want to protest? F--- off to Muslim country and protest."

North confirmed to The Telegraph that although the meme contained offensive references to Palestine and Islam, officers in the interview at the station appeared preoccupied with the part directed at Hamas.

I don’t have to tell you why this law is asinine, and I don’t have to tell you why free speech is more important now than ever. We’ve reached a point where people in Western countries can no longer police their own thoughts — and there is nothing scarier than that. Pay attention, America, because this may, or may not, be coming to a town near you.
