A 61-year-old man in the UK was jailed for 18 months for chanting “who the fuck is Allah” and telling police officers “you’re not English anymore” during a protest outside Downing Street.
Yes really.
The sentence handed out to David Spring is the latest shocking example of how low the bar has now been set in terms of free speech in response to rioting that occurred after the murder of three girls in Southport last month.
Spring attended a demonstration of around 700 people in London on July 31 which turned disorderly.
Police bodycam footage that was played in court showed Spring calling police officers “cunts,” making “hostile gestures” and joining in with chants of “who the fuck is Allah” and “you’re not English anymore.”
While Spring’s behavior could be described as offensive and unruly, the fact that he will spent the next year and a half behind bars for saying mean words exemplifies how the UK has slipped into extreme authoritarianism in the space of just two weeks.
When he was arrested, Spring told police, “I didn’t go up to London to riot. I went to complain about people put up in hotels,” referring to illegal immigrants staying in hotels at taxpayer expense.
Defending lawyer Piers Kiss-Wilson said, “The defendant asked me to put forward his apologies to the court and he says he is embarrassed by his behaviour and he is ashamed by it.”
“He also wants to apologise to his family and friends and his wife who don’t deserve this.”
The man’s wife, who suffers from ill health, will now be deprived of her primary carer thanks to Spring’s imprisonment.
The question once again arises as to why these individuals are continuing to plead guilty despite the fact that it is not preventing them from being handed jail time.
Despite the fact that the legislation surrounding hate speech and incitement is more draconian in the UK than in numerous other major western countries, one would think a good free speech lawyer would be able to defend these people more adeptly.
As we highlighted yesterday, Spring’s sentence is only outdone in its absurdity by cases where online speech of people who never even attended riots is leading to prison sentences.
Another man was imprisoned for 2 months merely for posting the words “coming to a town near you” alongside images of Muslim men on Facebook.

Islam is a cancer. Islam is also spiritual adultery against the One who is Faithful and True, and that is The Lord who is the Christ.
Who would have thought after standing up to the Nazi’s, they would become them?
Hitler was fighting The Same Globalists we are today , back then they were called “Itnernationalists” .

England is now a shit-hole country run by Jewish Nazis.
WTF do the Jews have to do with it? Your ignorance is appalling–or maybe your stupidity? It’s all the WEF Global Communist Movement, which is comprised of disciples of every race.
Many weaklings and cowards see thuh joooz as the cause of every problem from cracked pavements to the heartbreak of psoriasis. An easy scapegoat. It is nothing but a variation on an ethnic group we have here in the States who have college admission preferences and college admission quotas in their favor, but “da man be keepin’ dem down”.

Britain continually expands its definition of the theatre in which “fire” may not be screamed. The courts there (as well as some courts here) need to read the seminal US Supreme Court cases on speech so that they do not inadvertently forfeit the most essential civil and political right (that would be the unalienable one about which George III was none too happy). What’s next for the UK courts, burning all copies of the Magna Carta?
What about screaming “stage play!” in a crowded fire station?
It appears England is in desperate need of a revolution and a deportation of ragheads.
I’m willing to bet that anyone shouting “Who the fuck is Jesus?”, won’t be serving any jail time.
Asking for a comment from a publication in a country that puts you in jail for commenting. I don’t think so.

Yawn.
A 61-year-old man is ignorant of British law. Oh, really?
Let me explain British law to you: most crimes don’t get caught. Which is why, when they get caught, first-timers get shocked by the standard prison sentence. Officially, they are just supposed to suck it up, buttercup, and learn how awful they really are. That’s what the judge will say, every time. Unofficially, it’s assumed that, very likely, it isn’t the first time the defendant engaged in similar crimes (especially if the guy is 61), and the sentence is for all the times he did.
And yeah, speech offensive to a religion counts as harassment. (I’m guessing, I’m no lawyer, just somebody quite fond of my book of British criminal law – comes handy sometimes). Harassment law is extremely flexible. Effectively, it means what the judge thinks it means, taking his/her cues from the vibes in the air, that have obviously changed with the change to a Labour government. For your information, Steve. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
I know of a guy that was smart and when protesting in front of an arms manufacturer (this was about 20 years ago, mind you, nothing new), he was careful to use the word “warmongers” and not any swearing, because he had checked out case law and somebody had got away with “warmongers” before. Those that swore to the arms manufacturer were less lucky.
Watch your words, Steve. Just because you got away with some things during all the time the Tories were in power, it means nothing. It’s the beauty of British law. It’s decided by a “reasonable person”, which, if you really, really wanted to push it, ultimately means whatever King Charles thinks is a “reasonable person”… and who the hell knows what King Charles really thinks about anything? So, you are on your own. Develop a good radar for what “reasonable person” means, and you’ll be all right.
Though, as I haven’t got tired of telling you, your radar for reasonableness seems pretty off.
Fuck your communism, cunny.
The fact that you are using a language called English is so intimidating and inherently racist. Had you written this in pig latin, I might have appreciated the content more ! Ankthay

WHY have these Cowards given their Homeland to the israeli Nazis
and WHY don’t they have the balls to take it back!?
And most of all, WHY do they let the Foreign Nazis replace them with 3rd World Feces!?
I have ZERO sympathy for COWARDS!
F-ck em!
Just out of curiosity, why would Jews be pushing an agenda that promoted islam, protected muslims over Christians, and wanted muslims and their western allies to persecute Jews all around the world?
Why did some Jews put other Jews to death in the Nazi death camps, Nathan?
