England over there having a very normal English day:
Samuel Melia, 34, was found guilty earlier this year of inciting racial hatred after a series of 'stickering' incidents between 2019 and 2021.
Melia, from Pudsey in West Yorkshire, was sentenced to two years in prison at Leeds Crown Court on Friday.
Melia "was the head of the Telegram Messenger group Hundred Handers, a social media channel that generated racist and anti-immigration stickers that were printed off and displayed in public places" and "had a poster of Hitler in his garage."
The stickers in question ranged from:
- "It's OK to be White"
- "White Lives Matter"
- "Love your Nation"
- "Stop Anti-White Rape Gangs"
- "Stop mass immigration"
- "Reject white guilt"
- "They seek conquest, not asylum"
To the racism that's sadly growing on the Right (because the Left won't allow public discourse and the free exchange of ideas):
- "Why are Jews censoring free speech?"
- "Small hats, big problems"
But even the most distasteful stickers weren't illegal.
The judge simply wanted to make an example of him.
As these British news anchors admit, there are "Free Palestine" and pro-socialism stickers on every pole in London:
Maybe you say, "Yeah, but he was antisemitic," which still doesn't erase free speech, but okay - let's play that game.
Why aren't there mass arrests of the Arab "asylum seekers" in England who routinely call for violence against the Jews?
In the U.S., where freedom of speech is broadly and proactively upheld, profane stickers are protected under the First Amendment. In England β and in much of the rest of Europe β you can be prosecuted and imprisoned for displaying an offensive sign.
And the seriousness with which law enforcement takes that responsibility is pretty much laughable:
Det Ch Sup James Dunkerley, head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: 'Those that seek to bring hatred to our communities through actions such as stickering will be identified and brought to justice.'
Free speech was born in England ... now it has died there.
