Guess V for Vendetta will come true as the U.K. has fallen to Fascism.
We recently passed a law that enables the UK to indefinitely detain adult and children refugees and asylum seekers. I'm sure they'll be building camps next.
This government has no morals.
The nazis scared britain so bad during ww2 they want to try it themselves.
Well, people have actively been trying for decades. National Front, British National Party, UKIP, anything Nigel Farage touches, they all have elements of white supremacy, various other forms of bigotry, or "Traditional British Values".
Next they come to birkenau: „Guten Tag, wir hätten gerne die historischen Baupläne für ihre Öfen“
And that's another part of this bill - discussion of 'illegal immigration' is now forbidden.
Is it a blanket ban on all discussion of illegal immigration or is it something more specific? Like discussing plans to help immigrants or something.
If it is a complete ban, how will online news outlets cover the subject?
Unknown at this stage. I suspect it's being kept intentionally vague so they can shutdown whatever they like but leave up the GB News/Daily Heil type propaganda.
