For those who think freedom of speech exists in Britain, this is rebuttal exhibit A.

I had a conversation with a UK police officer: Me: “You guys don’t have freedom of speech.” Cop: “yes we do.” Me: “no, you arrest people for saying offensive things.” Cop: “well, that’s hate speech.” Me: “so...you don’t have freedom of speech.” Cop: “yes we do.”

Yes it was bad taste. Yes I'm certain some found it offensive and they have a right to express that. Should it be a crime and have the police involved - Hell No! They should arrests the people responsible for the fire, not jokes in bad taste.

London’s homicide rate is going through the roof and all their police can worry about is arresting people for thought crimes. This is what the future holds for Americans if the left gets its way.

The UK has a conservative government...
-
It's true. Granted, they look pretty chilled compared to Republicans, but they are our only mainstream right wing party.
-
Right wing for you is Joe Manchin. That’s not conservative. Stop.
-
It's my country and the lines are drawn a little differently here, just setting you straight on facts against opinion.
-
They’re drawn TOTALLY differently. That’s why I’m telling you to stop. Your Conservative party ran on a platform of increase spending for the NHS, increase spending on public schools, massive entitlements such as “free” meals for students. That’s Bernie Sanders shit. Stop.
-
That's because here even the right wing appreciate the needy should he catered for. Conservative doesn't have to mean heartless.

This is disgusting and abhorrent, but unless it was sent to a victim directly, I do not see how this is illegal.

Imagine being a world superpower pushing Western values for hundreds of years only to wind up jailing your citizens for making jokes on their own property. Jesus.

This is insensitive, but not a crime. America needs to take notice and stop importing pc culture.
