@antipodean Rights and freedoms that people no longer have in the UK.
edit (apologies I got a response before my edit came through, thought it was best to explain some context)
That's what he was getting at. It's been a bit of a theme this year especially on the 1st amendment. -

The ~230 years between events is the issue.

I think he was relying on people having the brains to see it as an example, not the literal....
You have to be a special kind of retard to not understand his point. You dont have to agree with it, but to not understand is pretty special needs. Nobody actually thinks, including him, that facial recognition software was aorund during the revolution, and it is abundantly clear he wasnt saying it actually was, it was an exmple of UK govt control and intrusion of civil liberties.
But hey if some of you want to try and appear clever by being stupid... go ahead. -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback To be fair BSG, they've been heading down this path for a while now. Its difficult to credit how much and how quickly they embraced CCTV surveillance, starting with the "ring of steel", GCHQ Cheltenham's monitoring of pretty much all communications, police stop and search powers and any number of other initiatives. All met with complete indifference by the voters. Britain has the level of state interference they deserve, because nobody has said boo. Although it's not as if any political party ever offered an alternative.

No Party is going to offer an alternative while Oceania is at war with Eurasia .

But hey if some of you want to try and appear clever by being stupid... go ahead.It's an idiotic attempt at an example. It's not even an example. But hey go ahead with the insults, I'm sure you're allowed to carry on in that manner and if I was to laugh at you being allowed to defend his remark and to insult those that laughed at his idiotic example in doing so, well that would be out of line.
You'd have to be some kind of uppity moron to call others retards because they can see something is an idiotic example, that's pretty insecure.

Sargon attacked again, attacks on Tommy have escalated (see other thread) and Mr Brexit is getting a dose too (Police actually arrest his attacker presumably because he went to the right school or something). All the while media and politicians are championing more violence and for the most part police aren't providing a deterrent.
How long before this?

Good thing she didn't suggest Farage 'learn to code' cause then she'd get a twitter ban.

Maybe its just an issue of people not understanding the difference between speech and calling for violence? Twitter account to be shut down in 3, 2, 1....well never...lets be honest.
Not sure what the tweet was: "no longer available"

Someone tweeting an article about Farage getting a milkshake thrown at him and saying “ I’d prefer acid but a milkshake will do for now”.

I was referring to @Rembrandt 's latest post.
The link to Twitty is still in his post if you quote the post. C&p takes you to a "no longer available " screen.
From reading the replies that are still there it appears some brewery called someone fascist.

@booboo They advocated throwing bricks rather than milkshakes and then doubled down on anyone calling them out. Said it's the only way to stop genocide.
The lack of self-awareness is simply staggering.
