Daniel Greenfield tells how Britain's local communist establishment has resulted in more political prisoners than even a regime like Cuba's got:

The British economy continues to struggle under PM Keir Starmer, the military is depleted and a pension crisis is on the horizon, but there is one area where the UK is exceeding expectations.

Starmer’s UK has achieved levels of political prisoners not only resembling but occasionally even outdoing those of Communist dictatorships like Cuba, Venezuela and even China.

Freedom House estimated that Cuba has 2,768 political prisoners, Venezuela has 1,953 political prisoners, and thousands more in China. Starmer’s regime and an enthusiastic police force have easily outdone these backward Communist regimes by arresting over 1,000 people a month for social media posts. The full number of political prisoners in the UK remains unknown, but the high number of arrests suggests that Britain may be able to compete with Cuba.

The 12,000 arrests by 37 forces a year are a record high. Speech arrests more than doubled from 5,502 in 2017 to over 12,000 since 2022. increasing by 1,000 or more every year. The internet did not fundamentally change since 2017. The UK authorities however have.

The London Times recently reported that “British police arrest more than 30 people a day for online posts”. London’s Met Police, who have been at the center of some of the worst speech abuses, maintain a secretive operation monitoring social media leading to almost immediate arrests. The Met Police arrested a staggering 5,332 people in 9 years for speech and 1,700 speech arrests in 2023 alone making London into its own speech gulag.

Other forces have tried to duplicate it with their own social media monitoring teams.

After a Muslim terrorist murdered 3 British girls, a 55-year-old woman was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for “posting inaccurate information” that he was Muslim.

Allison Pearson, a journalist, had the police show up at her door after she tweeted a criticism of them for posing with members of an Islamist movement. Such incidents have become routine.

And some have led the victims of Starmer’s speech police becoming political prisoners.

One of the most infamous cases is Lucy Connolly, the mother of two children, who had lost her little boy after his hospitalization, and expressed her anger after the brutal Muslim terrorist murders of three little girls at a dance studio. Lucy was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison even while Islamists have been allowed to spout their support for terrorism and genocide.

So it's clear the UK authorities aren't serious about guarding civilized society, and what they're doing only brings the country ever closer to becoming an Islamic caliphate. This is utterly chilling indeed.
