UK Police Commissioner: If You Criticize Us or Call Attention to Our Two-Tier Policing System, We Will Arrest You. Even If You're Posting Online from Foreign Countries.

Fascism is the final step before revolution.

He threatens to jail people for "terrorist offenses" for "provoking" people by online speech.

UK police commissioner threatens to extradite and jail US citizens over social media posts: 'We will come after you'

London's Metropolitan Police chief announced officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commenting on the riots in the UK, but on American citizens as well.

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.

"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you're in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

Footage of the violent clashes involving anti-immigration protesters and the groups of counter-protesters, some of whom have been seen waving Palestinian flags, has gone viral on social media, and the government is warning that sharing such content may have serious consequences.

Merely sharing videos of the "riots" -- without commentary -- is a crime now.

One key aspect that makes this apparent crackdown on social media particularly shocking to critics is that the British government is threatening to extradite American citizens from the U.S. to be jailed in the U.K. for violating their rules about political speech online.

...

"You can be guilty of offenses of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred, there are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the publishing of material," he said. "All of those offenses are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets, and we will come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets the thugs and the yobs who are taking -- who are causing the problems for communities."

Elon Musk has made headlines for criticizing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's response to the riots over the past week, suggesting the U.K. is headed toward "civil war."

He also responded to a video of someone allegedly arrested for offensive online comments with a question, "Is this Britain or the Soviet Union?"

Starmer's spokesperson said there was "no justification" for Musk's comments, adding that social media companies "can and should be doing" more to combat misinformation, the BBC reported. He added that such companies "have a responsibility" to stop the spread of criminal activity and limit misinformation.

Via Jazz Shaw, who adds:

When we first learned of this unrest, I was among the first to agree that we can't have people physically attacking the police and it doesn't matter if you're in America or the UK. But the vast majority of the people engaging in those protests were not attacking the police. They were protesting dangerous government policies and raising their voices. It's called free speech. I refuse to believe that even Biden, Pelosi, and the Democrats would stand by idly and allow American citizens to be extradited and imprisoned for sharing actual videos of police or governmental abuse and commenting on it. (Though they might try to label them "cheap fakes.")

Oh, I believe they would do that. They've been conspiring with British Intelligence to censor and criminalize speech they feel undermines their illegitimate rule.

The UK is the test-bed for the Regime's ultimate imprisonment of their populations.

The more an illegitimate, disconnected, unaccountable, unchangeable Regime rules against the express wishes of its populace, the more they are forced to take extreme measures to deprive the citizens of their liberty.

Until, in the end, there is only one method of protest.

When all lawful and orderly manners of protests are criminalized, people will turn to the truly unlawful and disorderly methods.
