Think you're legal? Think again.
So, you could be doing something perfectly legal online while sitting in your million-dollar mansion, or in your mom's basement, or at an internet cafe, and some crackpot in law enforcement in England could decide that what you did is illegal. So he files charges, and submits an extradition order to the US Government, asking them to arrest you and hand you over to British authorities for violating one of their laws...while on your home soil, doing something perfectly legal..
Sounds like something from The Bee, doesn't it? Nope. London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley (I refuse to refer to this asshat by his "Sir" title) has decided that if what you're doing in your country is perfectly legal and he doesn't like it, he has the right to arrest and extradite you.
I want so, so badly to be the test case. If I wasn't married (which means nobody else would be directly negatively affected), I would contact an organization like the ADF and ask them if they'd represent me in fighting extradition. I would then set up some social media account for the sole purpose of posting something this idiot doesn't like. (Yes, I'm one of those who has absolutely no online presence other than The Gulch.)
I'd then sit back and see what happened. Of course, I'd make sure that the entire event was as public as possible, so that everyone else could see what was going on.

"…The strength of human understanding is incalculable, its keenness of discernment would ultimately penetrate into every part of nature, were it permitted to operate with uncontrouled and unqualified freedom. It is because this sublime principle of man has been the object of the most scurrilous, and the most detestable invective from superstition, that his moral existence has been buried in the gulph of ignorance, and his intellectual powers tarnished by the ferocious and impure hand of fanaticism. Although we are made capable of sublime reflections, it has hitherto been deemed a crime to think, and a still greater crime to speak our thoughts after they have been conceived…"

Ever hold a world-wide empire.
Win two world wars?
Why is this country bending a knee to these peckers?
I don't mean the good people of the UK, the honest salt-of-the-earth folks, but their rotten-to-the-core government.
I heard the bassturds are telling the press AND social media, not to allow any images of the riots over there to be posted on-line.
Their country is going up in flames in these riots, and the last thing the gobbernment wants is the world to know the truth.
The UK as a unified thing is done, stick it with a fork done.
The real people of the UK have had it up to their back teeth with the sedition going on in their POS government and they are now, finally showing it.
If she is correct (I think she is), then trying to apply some universally acceptable generalities to today’s UK would be a mistake. It may well be that a laundry list of reasons that, like water waves, interact to grow to a tidal wave and wash away the old and open the way for the new – be that better or worse than the present system.
I’m sure that one situation is true; that when the people in Government start thinking of themselves as different or better than the citizenry as a whole, the foundations of society and governing system begin to crumble.
maybe the Germans can get uppity again and we'll stay home
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
we kicked England's ass twice and saved it several times more
how dare they try this
Or is it another conspiracy at provocation of patriots? False flag event to follow.
But that's fine; if that's what they want, let them try. If they want another civil war, let's give it to them. This IS a hill I'd be willing to die on.
If I was in congress, I would introduce a law that mmakes it illegal to post anything woke online if you live in the UK. I would spell out that posting any woke shit in the UK will result in charges being filed in the US, and that extradition orders will be filed with the UK government. Then, when the complete absurdity was pointed out, I would demand that same person tell me the difference between what I'm introducing and what the UK has done.
I know full well that all I'd get back is silence.
Instead make travel to the UK by Americans illegal.
"This action by the UK will reduce the tourism in the UK by Americans to near zero. Go ahead morons, destroy your own economy."
But the con-gress won't do anything except possibly to extradite Americans if they support free speech.

Royalty and its parasitic fallout have never been an attraction for me, in the UK or D.C.
Wine tasting and French cuisine in France is more attractive than hitting pubs and eating meat pies in England.
I wouldn't mind tasting single malts in Scotland though. ;^)
the english are the cooks
the french organize it
the germans provide the entertainment
ih Heaven
the french cook
the english provide the entertainment
the germans run it
i believe this cam from the Late/Great Dave Allen on his TV show many years ago
Time to boycott travel to England.
I think the US Government should issue a travel warning for those going to England.
Of course, my spidey sense (or what my wife would call my tin hat receptor) is telling me that it's a great step towards globalization, making one set of laws apply to everyone in the world.
Why? I've never seen Europe. Not even China. Hope I can ask for a jail cell with a view.
