| Arresting a person minding their own business, walking on the street for refusing to uncover their face because busybodies decided to put thousands of the people on the virtual line up on that day. Arresting a person yelling "not my king!" Proscibing a group protesting genocide while openly supporting the genocide. Later the ban was overturned by the court, but the government appealed and the police keeps throwing people in jail for wearing "I oppose genocide" Arresting and prosecuting the grandma for holding a placard quoting text visible on the wall of the criminal court (old Baileys). Arresting a man wearing "I support PLASTICINE action" (that's not a typo). Throwing in jail people sitting on the zoom call and discussing nonviolent, peaceful protest against the environment collapse and the governments role in accelerating it. Forbiding people from explaining to juries WHY they decided to break the law (as with the law, not all law is fair: slavery was legal, outing Jews to Nazis was mandatory, child marriages were legal) Asking a neuroscientist to verify harms of the commonly abused substances, firing him for proving alcohol and tobacco are MUCH more deadly and harmful than some of the banned substances. At the same time the government claims there are no medicinal benefits of cannabis , Britain is the home to the biggest cannabis plantation, run by government-connected people. Yield is sold to be processed into Sativex, medical cannabis. I could go on for hours. |
