>falling for retarded Jow Forums memes
the tv license is just a tax dude did you actually think they literally needed to be licensed to watch tv

Do a little research beyond Jow Forums. Most people there don't read beyond an article or look for some data to cherry pick

What about things like the case of this Scottish youtuber?
Does shit like that happen very often?
And do you have to be very careful about your language to not get in trouble?

Article title*

>3. It's the same in America with "hate" crime legislation.
It's actually not, the Supreme Court has ruled that "hate speech" is an irrelevant and unconstitutional concept, you can't get arrested for saying racist things to someone here.

He was talking about legislation. There are plenty of laws in America protecting minorities such as transgender people

Or this girl who quoted some rap song on social media that included the word "nigga"?

Hate crimes, or no hate crimes. Warrantless searches and confiscation to on-the-spot execution for CC carriers are not a thing here.

That’s literally how people here see America lol

Yes, Somerset is the greatest place to live on the planet.

Hilarious the way mutts act like they dont get arrested and jailed or even shot and killed for saying things on the internet. African brain tier posts daily from you clowns must be the ogga booga genes taking hold

Our hate speech legislation is nowhere near at the level of yours. You’d have to be actively threatening people like “I’m going to kill all those niggers” but just saying “I hate niggers” in public, even right to a cop, won’t get you in trouble. Legal trouble at least, if a black person hears you say it you’re going to get dog walked

No they don't

>Imagine if your only impression of American life
that's what you are telling me about my country on Jow Forums every single day

So is all that shit about saying racist things on twitter and being arrested not real? Is it just memes? Serious question I actually don’t know and want to learn. What about police seizing things like bicycle wheels? Was that fake?

Based I fucking loved Bath it was so pretty, went to the Cotswolds from there too, positively medieval

I live about 30/40 minutes away and it really is outstanding.

Modern Britain? No. The history, culture and countryside? Absolutely.

I stayed in a hotel right near the Huntsman pub, close to the abbey, baths, and pulteney bridge

Never seen anywhere like that before, the decision to build with only honey stone was great. Won’t forget my time there

What’s the point of posts like this?

Wow, the whole fake news meme is legitimately real if you actually buy into this shit you fat fucking retard.

Don’t you have some Palestinian children to stab to death?

but why

>Can't collect rainwater
>Can't pump his own petrol
>Can't cross the road wherever he feels
>Can be summarily executed by police

You see how dumb internet memes aren't actually real life?

cant be bothered to explain it all but yes some of the random stuff you see on Jow Forums about regulations/censorship or whatever is real and completely outrageous, some is real but very justifiable, and some im pretty sure is just made up because its a joke
it doesnt register as one of my main complaints about living here, there are far bigger issues. i think the uk is fucking weird but there are very very few nations id rather live in

But we can collect rainwater, we can pump our own gas, we can jaywalk, I’ll admit cops being trigger happy is a thing

But are the stories of people being arrested for saying hateful things on Twitter true or not? I’m not trying to bait I legitimately don’t know. And like I asked earlier, police raiding homes and confiscating things like kitchen knives and bicycle wheels? You can’t blame me for not knowing what is and isn’t true considering some of the bizarre shit actually is

shut the fuck up subhuman russkie
fake news is what you faggots know about america

virtually every major city in britain is paki clay

I don't understand legal matters but you can indeed face legal action for saying forbidden words online, but the logistics of it seem weird and inconsistent to me (again I don't know law). seems like some of the main criteria are 'was it on social media' and 'did someone complain or get offended'
The police raids for plastic spoons comes from retarded police regional social media accounts. They raid places that they know are drug dens or what have you and then like to brag by posting pics of the shit they 'seized', anything they think can make them look like they've done a difficult job rather than waste taxpayers money. They're not actually using the cctv in your kitchen to see whether or not your cutting your food with non-regulation knives and kicking your door in for it, but thats the joke

Generally how safe are you on Jow Forums regarding racist speech?

Also why are they seizing shit like plastic knives in the first place? They can’t possibly think that makes them look good? Why not just say they raided a drug den, they’d have a lot more respect that way

it's not a perfect country but i'd never in a million years choose the states over living here. not even if i were wealthy.

This is the case everywhere in Europe.
There is nothing particularly special about UK speech laws, in some ways we are even freer than other places, for example there is nothing criminal about Holocaust denial here.
It all comes down to where you say the things you say and the will to prosecute. If you're sounding off on social media then you could really get in trouble anywhere. You also might not.

Police don't randomly raid homes, halfwit, and certainly not for kitchen knives and bicycle wheels.

The joke about 'knife licences' started when somebody posted an image from a shop who had made it store policy not to sell kitchen knives to under-18s, presumably because of a spate of stabbings in whatever city it was in, and the intelligent chaps over at Jow Forums assumed there were legal prohibitions against the sale of cutlery to anyone not in possession of a 'loicense'

On mischief night, some stores will refuse to sell youngsters eggs because they know that they'll end up splattered against the doors of houses and cars. Odd, yes. Illegal, no.

totally non meme answer incoming
>censorship and the regulations that go on there
essentially pol memes that boil entire countries down to some state apparatus that has little tangible impact on your life and mine. I like living in the UK countryside, it's comfy. I went to college in rotherham and went to uni in manchester and enjoyed living their immensely. pic related is the college i went to in rotherham

I've never heard of anyone going to jail for saying the n-w*rd on Jow Forums, but a few years ago there was that autistic guy on Jow Forums who went to jail for pretending to be an islamic terrorist, although that was in Jersey which is technically not the UK
If you said you made a load of weird plans to attack or kill or rape people of x ethnicity with details, GCHQ will probably be after you I suspect, but then again I also think that would probably be the case in most developed countries
I think it's just because there are a lot of quite stupid police and they happen to be running a lot of social media accounts
Probably better than trusting them with actual work in fairness

*actually he didn't go to jail nvm

Fair enough, not the same situation with knives here but I’ve heard of stores refusing to sell eggs or toilet paper to high school aged kids on nights like that

Yeah I know about Sheikh, I’m not entirely sure what he said but I can imagine you’d probably get a visit from the police here too for it

Probably not arrested though, but they’d sure like to talk to you

Yeah nah, in the US a hate crime would be something like attacking someone for wearing the hijab, not for saying mean things on Twitter and Facebook.

>Imagine if your only impression of American life was school shooting, you too would think America was some sort of hellscape.
Jow Forums says that literally everyday
