You have heard of the “No Fly List”, right? Well, now the Tories are
pledging that if they win the next election in the UK they will
establish a list of “extremists” that will have to have their social
media posts “approved in advance by the police” before they post them.
There are also plans to ban “extremists” from broadcasting and speaking
at public events. The stated goal of these proposals is to crack down
on terrorism, but in the process the civil liberties of the British
people are going to be flushed down the toilet. And the American people
need to pay close attention to what is going on in the UK, because
whatever police state measures are implemented over there usually also
get implemented over here eventually. For those that believe that we
need to do “whatever it takes” to fight terrorism, there is a very
important question that you need to ask yourself. What if the
government decides that you are an “extremist” because of what you believe? What will you do then?
