UK: Look at "Far Right" Web Pages & Risk Prison

[Br.IanVonTurpie]

People in the United Kingdom could face up to fifteen years in prison for repeatedly viewing "far-right propaganda" or "terrorist material" online, according to a report.

According to the Guardian, "A new maximum penalty of 15 years' imprisonment will also apply to terrorists who publish information about members of the armed forces, police and intelligence services for the purposes of preparing acts of terrorism," while the "tightening of the law around viewing terrorist material is part of a review of the government's counter-terrorism strategy following the increasing frequency of terrorist attacks in Britain this year."

Users who view the forbidden content only once by mistake, or out of curiosity, will not be charged, and it is reported that there will also be protections for journalists, academics, and "others who may have a legitimate reason to view such material."

"I want to make sure those who view despicable terrorist content online, including jihadi websites, far-right propaganda and bomb-making instructions, face the full force of the law," declared British Home Secretary Amber Rudd. "There is currently a gap in the law around material [that] is viewed or streamed from the internet without being permanently downloaded."

"This is an increasingly common means by which material is accessed online for criminal purposes and is a particularly prevalent means of viewing extremist material such as videos and web pages," she continued.

Both Rudd and Prime Minister Theresa May have frequently expressed interest in cracking down on the Internet and implementing censorship.

After Rudd was recently asked by an individual why she wants to stop encryption when it was proven that she didn't understand how it works, the Home Secretary replied, "It's so easy to be patronised in this business."

"We will do our best to understand it. We will take advice from other people. But I do feel that there is a sea of criticism for any of us who try and legislate in new areas, who will automatically be sneered at and laughed at for not getting it right," she expressed. "I don't need to understand how encryption works to understand how it's helping the criminals. I will engage with the security services to find the best way to combat that."



The science fiction writer:-Ray Bradbury writer "Fahrenheit 451". A story about a Government fire force sent out to burn books as books made people unhappy. Information makes certain people unhappy. It's not science fiction anymore!

If that doesn't sound bad enough to our casual readers, they should wonder who determines what is to be considered "far-right" propaganda? And what can be determined "far-right" propaganda?

After all, Britain is already a nation that considers the mere questioning of why certain politically correct groups are able to receive special legal and financial privileges to be a criminal act deserving of several years in prison. That statement alone would be reason enough to sentence me to prison should I ever choose to return to the UK, as is my right.

So the answer as to what could be determined to be "far-right" propaganda is ANYTHING AT ALL. Anything deemed to be non-PC. Anything - Anywhere - Anytime. And there is no defence.

White Britons, you'd better not be caught reading the TV Times on that train to work: There may be someone there watching that may be offended by you reading that "right-wing" article on Hitler's Henchmen, Hitler's Women, Hitler's Kids or Hitler's Dog ... and we know that today in Britain, feigned offence is enough reason to arrest the so-called offender.

15 years for reading the likes of our forum is enough to get us incarcerated, if I am to go down that road then I want to be treated as a political prisoner.
