FORBIDDEN TO PROTEST - MUZZLED FOR LIFE
This week the Pandemic Parliament is voting to make every kind of public protest a criminal offense. On the back of seizing the power to lock us in our homes and censor all our communications, we will be forbidden to display any dissent in public, anywhere, ever. If passed, this will mean that if you disagree with anything the government does, you can STFU or get arrested as far as the Home Secretary, Priti Patel is concerned.
I am beginning to wonder if the average Brit is a closet masochist with a secret wish to feel a big dirty leather jackboot on their face. Patel's proposal is a law worthy of Pol Pot or Stalin, but the herd are too busy arguing about Meghan Sparkle and Piers Morbid.
Are we now a nation of idle dozers who want every single decision -down to who dunks the last biscuit- taken for them by YOUGOV.org? Are we seriously going to swallow the end of protest? (Kinda like end of freedom?)
This morning I started thinking maybe the government rounded up the real public during lockdown and replaced them with masked cabbages. Or did the NHS staff take a break from line-dancing to dump a gazillion tons of lobotomy powder into the tap water?
We're in Berlin 1939 now. Reichfuhrer Patel has tabled a bill worthy of Hermann Goring's wet dreams. Once the vote is passed, you -YES, YOU- can be imprisoned for up to 10 years for causing "serious annoyance" to somebody. [section 59 subsection (1) check it out yourself]. This is millennial Snowflake Culture made law, as "micro-aggressions" jump the shark and become crimes on par with...oh, let's see, gang-rape of children, bank robbery, grievous bodily harm...
Ten years behind bars for causing "serious annoyance" because you wanted to protest against, say, having your door kicked down and being forcibly injected with Government Love Syrup. A whole decade in pokey because you and half a dozen other vegan heroes stood outside a butcher's shop chanting "meat is murder". 480 weeks slopping out and waltzing in the showers with career burglars and rapists because you stood outside the Old Bailey shouting "Free Julian Assange"?
And still the pubic sleeps. No, I'm being unfair - the public are just too skull-fucked by the utter brutality of the Covidian regime to care anymore. You've taken the jobs, closed the pubs, killed the shops, stopped the travel, you masked my face and forced my mother to die alone - why not ban protest?
Every single member of Parliament who votes for this should go on a list - and I'm not talking Christmas cards, Scorpio. Any one of them putting their name to this should never again receive a single vote from anyone, ever. Do we really love balls-out fascism this much? Is freedom such a burden?
I'm beginning to understand the sexy new "multiple mask" concept being pushed by "maskperts" everywhere. One mask to stop you breathing properly, one to shut you up and another to remind you not to leave the house without a damn good excuse. With...oh, I donno... six masks in place you're probably not going to make a revolutionary statement anytime soon. Any advance on six?
Here's an idea for Priti - how about a law forbidding all speech critical of the goverment? How about arresting everybody who refuses to vote? Totalitarianism rocks. It worked for Hitler, it can work for you.
On the plus side for we the people, when your fascist regime crumbles we'll know who to hang first.

Back in the days of the Cold War the BBC and others used to broadcast to listeners in Russia so they could know what was actually happening both in and outside the Soviet Union. Soviet citizens used to need internal passports to travel from one part of the country to another, and all venues used to be snooped on by the KGB and GRU to root out politically incorrect behavior.
ReplyDeleteNow, in Russia, citizens are allowed to make up their own minds as to how they react to the risks of C-19, and it’s the citizens of the UK that are being threatened with internal passports and government spies in pubs. And I regret to say that Russia’s RT media gives more comprehensive and varied coverage of, and comment on, events both worldwide and in the UK than any of the UK’s mainstream media does.
I never thought I’d live to see the day when Russians had more freedom than Englishmen, and were more trusted by their own government. And frankly, I’m ashamed that we’ve come to this pass.
I spent many weeks in the concrete island of West Berlin in the early 1980's. To arrive by land required a cross-Europe drive through Communist East Germany, past the tank-traps and missile silos that marked the frontier of the Cold War. Russian troops manned the entry-points to West Berlin. I crossed to East Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie often, spending several evenings drinking and talking with East Germans. The border-crossings -with a background of kill-zones, razor-wire, attack-dogs and minefields- were ominous and threatening reminders that we in West Berlin were surrounded by the Communist Bloc. But I never felt one tenth as intimidated on the streets of East Berlin behind the Wall as I have on the streets of Britain in the last 12 months. Truly there are dark actors in charge of our formerly-proud country. This is not a Britain I recognise.
