British tyranny

One of the things which marks a tyrant...or a tyrannical government..is FEAR.
FEAR of individuals saying and writing things which the tyrant or the government do not want the people to hear or read.
Thus it is such tyrants and such tyrannical governments make it ILLEGAL..a criminal offence..for individuals to say or write certain things,that is,they introduce laws which curtails and restricts FREE SPEECH.

This is exactly what has happened in BRITAIN,over the past 30 years,the various governments have introduced laws which takes away our right of FREE SPEECH,which restricts what can be said or written.
And more than that,they have made mere possession of certain literature,certain writings,a criminal offence.
That is,a person can now be sent to prison for several years if it be proved that they merely possessed literature which the government finds offensive.

This is tyrannical;this is a denial of FREEDOM.

Of course,tyrants and tyrannical governments use clever propaganda to try and persuade the people they rule over that these tyrannical laws are " necessary ",some go further,even to claim that such denial and suppression of FREE SPEECH is " morally justified " because the views they have outlawed,they have made ILLEGAL,are " abhorrent " or " evil " or whatever.

This is exactly what successive British governments have done.
They have introduced tyrannical laws to suppress FREE SPEECH on the grounds that any and all views those governments do not like..any and all political views which the government does not want the people to hear or read about have been and are said to be " abhorrent " and " evil " and so are banned because they might " upset " or " hurt " or " offend " someone.
That is, these governments have taken away the power of the people to make their own judgements about,their own decisions concerning,certain political matters,because the governments has decided that such views,such political opinions,might or will or could " upset " or " hurt " or " offend " someone.

In effect, the government have said,and are saying,to the people : WE regard you,the PEOPLE,as CHILDREN who must be protected from words or literature that we consider might upset you.
WE want you to hear and read only the nice things we have permitted.

These governments go on to say," We are determined to keep treating you,the PEOPLE,like CHILDREN.
So we have banned..and will continue to ban..all those political words or political literature or political writings we consider might offend you,and we will lock away in PRISON all those nasty grown-ups who say or write such nasty political things that we consider might offend someone.
We certainly will never allow you to listen to these nasty grown ups or read their writings and literature because we never want you to make you own your own mind up about politics.
We have taken care of all that for you.
NOW CHILDREN,isnt that NICE of us..

Our tyrannical governments have gone much,much further than the tyrants of history,so far,in fact,that what they have created is very similiar to the repressive Stalinist government which existed in Russia not many decades ago.
People are kept under surveillance,their mail is opened,their telephone calls monitored,and if the government suspects ( note...suspects ) a person may have done something,or said something or written something which that government does not like or has made ILLEGAL,then the person will be subjected to a dawn raid,by the police,their home searched,the person arrested and any dissident literature seized.

There then follows a SHOW TRIAL...where the accused has to rely on..because of the legal jargon and the lagal complexities of the case and the very nature of the Courts themselves..some barristers to represent them,and where the TRUTH of any statement made by the accused in the ILLEGAL literature is ruled to be " irrelevant ",that is THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID,OR WRITTEN,OR PUBLISHED IS NO DEFENCE.
If what has been said or written is deemed ILLEGAL,then the person will be sent to Prison whether or not what was said or written is TRUE.
And the government call these trials FAIR and the verdicts JUST....

The way our government have suppressed opposing politucal views..the means whereby they have outlawed political views and opinions they do not like and do not want the people to hear..was and is by using the claim that such views,whether spoken or written about,involved " Incitement " to " Hatred "

To incite is to " urge;to stir to action";while hatred,properly defined,is " dislike,ill-will;strong aversion towards ".

What is particularly tyrannical in such laws as these is that to be found GUILTY,NOTHING actually has to happen " in the real world " no people have to be physically hurt,or physically harmed in any way.
That is,the person is found GUILTY on the basis that was said or written might or could lead to such things.
The so-called INTENT of the person is all that matters.

This is UNJUST,it is UNFAIR,it is DISHONOURABLE,it is TYRANNICAL.
It is AGAINST the whole tradition of WESTERN JUSTICE.

There does`nt have to be anyone,anywhere who is actually offended,all there has to be is a BELIEF.

And even if a person or persons do claim they are offended or upset or hurt by WORDS,written or spoken...SO WHAT.
That is,and always has been part of LIFE,of being an ADULT.
What kind of person can claim they have been so offended or so hurt by some words,written or spoken,that they want to see the person who said those words or who wrote those words put in Prison ?
Perhaps a churlish,surly,unruly,vindictive child.

What kind of world is it where the majority of people DO NOT care that their government is TREATING them like CHILDREN.
