Americans could get arrested in the UK for posts made in the US

Made a post on social media in the United States that could be considered hate speech in the United Kingdom? You could get arrested as soon as you step foot in the UK. If your posts in the US could be interpreted as affecting UK interests within their country, you could be arrested once you arrive there. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) generated a memo detailing this reality. They’ve warned that some UK leaders want to extradite people from the U.S. for “hate speech.”

From The Daily Fetched:

“The UK has declared that it will charge and prosecute Americans for their social media posts, written while still in America, if they travel to its borders. The ACLJ has prepared a legal memo detailing the specific laws at play and the danger for Americans.

Specifically, it details how your speech on the internet could violate the UK’s broad ‘hate speech’ laws and how you could be arrested as soon as you step foot in the UK for your posts back home.

“If an American speaks in the United States in a way that UK officials construe as affecting their national interest or even producing substantial effects within the country, even if it’s just a statement about your Christian faith or your political stance, then you could be arrested upon entry to the UK.”

The ACLJ warning continued:

“UK officials have boasted how proud they are of this initiative: The UK’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, said in a press conference, ‘We will throw the full force of the law at people. . . . And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.'”

  1. HAHAHAHAHAHA….oh man, England has fallen harrrrrrrrrd. Used to be such a respectable country.

    Ello’ guvna, wuts awl this then? Bit shtewpid, innit?

        1. What the sam hell is that sign. Lol. When I went to zee Wasser kloset in Germany, I never saw that.

    1. . . And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.’”

      Ha! That’s a joke. The feckless Met Police don’t shit about street crimes: stabbing, harassment, grooming gangs, ect…
      That’s why there are countless videos of 6 sorry-assed cops arresting 1 pensioner because they don’t want to real police work.
      I already traveled though Europe 40 years ago, so no need to go back. I’d like go to the Far East if I have have the itch to travel.
      What the hell happened to the Polizei? They used to bad asses unlike the meter-maids of today.

      1. Murder, rape, armed robbery, arson, not so much… but same something mean on the Internet that offends someone and they’ll be all over your case.

  2. Say Jesus is the Son of God, get thrown in jail.
    Kidnap, rape, enslave young girls, get a pat on the back.
    A new meaning to Merry Olde England, the new Epstein’s Island.
    Sod off, swampy.

  3. Seems like the discussion of whether or not Americans followed English Law was settled between 1775 and 1783.

    The sun has finally set on The British Empire.

    1. Well, God never trusted them in the dark anyway (A little play on a joke my dad used to tell Brits when he was still serving).

      1. That is, if they’re ever seen again.
        The swamps are deep and the sand is soft. There’s plenty of junkyards, trash sites and mine holes to just……. disappear.
        No one here will mourn your loss, or even give you a second thought.

    1. Don’t call attention to the Afghan buggering a screaming little boy, you could be arrested by the police for inciting racism and, as such, have your own children taken away for being an unfit parent until such time as you and they complete restorative psychotherapeutic counseling to counteract your bigoted privilege to be jugmental of someone else’s culture.

      1. I’d like to see them do that to me….
        just don’t have ANY biological offspring b/c of a hereditary syndrome…

  4. Hey FUCK YOU United Kingdom, the horse that you rode in on, AND your retarded hound dog as well. I FART IN your general direction, your Mother was a hamster and your Father smells of elderberries!

    We haven’t given three fucks past a fleabitten rats’s ass about what you think since 1776, and if it wasn’t for the USA you’d be speaking German now!

  5. Well there goes any chance of revisiting that country ever again. No way I’m going to get arrested for dumb shit I say on line, I say stupid shit all the time.

    Although I do wonder what their standing is? If I write something on my computer in America that is them recorded on a data center in Toledo, OH and then someone from the UK goes looking for it and finds and gets bad feels in their owie place, how is that a crime in the UK? The victim went to the US to read some stuff.

  6. In progressive Europe, butthurt is a hazard to life, limb and/or eyesight and its causes must be squelched with extreme predjudice (and maximum santimonious virtue-signaling and enjoyment) by authorities on behalf of themselves or suitably oppressed groups who’re uncontributive, hostile or destructive to the nation they’re in.

  7. So if I say “King Charles is a butt pirate”, I could be arrested? I probably shouldn’t say that then.

    1. IDK, in the US, generally if something is true then if you say it you can’t be charged with anything. Don’t know about Airstrip One. You would have to check with the Ministry of Love to find out.

      Remember when Biden tried to establish a Ministry of (government) Truth? Life was simpler back then

      1. Alrighty then. I’ll have to work on my royal insults. I won’t say anything about Queen Elizabeth, I kinda liked that tough old broad.

          1. I feel sorry for the Green Grocer’s daughter’s spirit. After all she went through to try and right the British government and economy BITD.

    2. So I can’t write that Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, likes to molest small children?

  8. We threw them out in 1776, and then Bitch Slapped them again in the War of 1812…you’d think they’d have gotten the message back then.

  9. Back in 1964, we tied up at the Plymouth england Navy base for a Liberty call after the OP Steel Pike excercize off of Seville Spain and a couple of us snipes went into town and hit a couple of pubs and at the time , everything was jake with the visit This was before computers, cell phones and all the social media sites we have now to make everything fucked up over there, here and the rest of the globe.

  10. “Made a post on social media in the United States that could be considered hate speech in the United Kingdom? You could get arrested as soon as you step foot in the UK.”

    Ok. So I won’t go there. Problem solved. Next!

  11. Too damned bad. Not that I wanted to visit Jolly Old, but I DID want at some time to visit Germany again (was born there, and was stationed there for 4 years….good times, good times). And it used to be that you’d have to stop over in Jolly Old to change planes to get to Germany.
    I wouldn’t want to take a risk of getting busted at a stopover in the land of tea and treacle.

    1. I’d love to go to Germany as well. Never got to.
      At this point, I’m grudgingly resigned to not getting to visit the Hofbrauhause in Munich.

    2. I wanted to re-visit Germany, and stop off in Merry Old, strike that, shitty old England. Cross that off the wish list.

  12. I say that the UK “Authorities” are limp-wristed, pudding-headed, booger-eating little candyasses who think that they JUST HAVE TO find ways to make themselves look much tougher than they really are, my bet is that they’re only about one-tenth as tough as cotton candy in a Cat 5 hurricane, they’re the lame lamby-pamby, rudy-poo peckerheads who always got their asses pounded for saying stupid stuff as well as getting “swirlied” for ratting others out, and NOW THAT they have college degrees and a Government Job they think that it’s time for them to rule by decree. My response to them is the same as my previous comment on this thread along with GO HAVE yourself a TRUMP Day after you GIMME BLOWJOB!

    Find and extradite me, bitches!!!

    1. Y’know, I bet they’re about as competent at finding people to extradite for speech as that PuRpLeSuItClOwN was at finding each us and coming, as competent as Psul before his daily ration of cheap rotgut bum wine!

    2. My! Such an excellent command of the English language. Well done!

  13. The best thing for Britain…..(most) of the British military Mutinies and Romanovs the Pedo Reptilian Royals. Thus, making a British Republic.
