In fresh months, Britain has stepped up its efforts against hatred speech on the Internet, which has sparked many controversy and prompts reflection on social justice in the Islands. After a tragic knife attack in Southport, which killed 3 children and injured respective others, and after violent riots in Leeds, where immigrants set fire to buses, the British government took a position that many consider harsh. As a result, autochthons publishing critical content against immigrants can anticipate police visits.
Raw punishment for hatred speech
The British legal strategy is confronted with harsh criticism for overly severe penalties for those who print alleged "hey" on social media. The number of cases convicted for specified content increases, and the authorities treat those who argue leftist ideas peculiarly multiculturalism.
One of the louder cases was Jordan Parlour, sentenced to 20 months in prison for a Facebook post in which he called for the demolition of a hotel inhabited by refugees. Although his post received only six likes, the court found that he was a call for violence, which justified severe punishment. The authorities did not point out that Parlour's post was a consequence to British government ignoring local protests against mass migration and transport of asylum seekers to smaller towns.
Similarly, Tyler Kay was treated harshly, who was sentenced to 38 months in prison for entries on the X platform (formerly Twitter). The court stressed that Kay's entries were a manifestation of "fundamentally racist thinking", which, according to the judges, required a sufficiently ruthless response.
Richard Williams of Flintshire, Wales, on the another hand, received 3 months in prison for his Facebook comments, which did not call for force but opposed mass immigration.
Stalin methods?
Britain is beginning to be seen as a state enforcing criminal policy that transcends the limits of common sense. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, announced that his government would severely punish all manifestations of hatred speech, especially those related to dislike of immigration. London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley warned that the government would not limit itself to punishing UK citizens, but would prosecute people from another countries who print content deemed hateful in the UK.
At the same time, the British authorities face the problem of overcrowding prisons, leading to the early release of any prisoners to make area for convicted hatred speech on the Internet. This leads to an absurd situation in which people guilty of serious crimes, specified as rape or murder, are released earlier, while people who have expressed their opinions online gotta have full sentences.
Grooming gangs and two-level police
However, the allegations against the British judiciary about turning a blind eye to immigrants' crimes cannot be disregarded. In fresh years, shocking details have been revealed about the activities of gangs in the UK that have utilized hundreds of children. Police, fearing accusations of racism, ignored reports of these crimes, leading to impunity of perpetrators.
An example is the case in Rotherham, where gangs of gangs worked without hindrance for years, and the police, despite being full aware of the scale of the problem, did not take appropriate action. In Rochdale and Birmingham, the situation was akin where local authorities and police deliberately ignored information about the usage of underage girls by groups of men of Pakistani origin.
Is there a two-level justice system?
The United Kingdom is facing allegations about the existence of a alleged two-level justice strategy where the police treat native citizens more severely, especially those with right-wing views, and overlook immigrants' crimes. Although many politicians deny the existence of specified a problem, a increasing number of evidence and cases indicate that this strategy can function in the British judiciary.
Public opinion polls show that a large proportion of the British believe in specified a system, and the results of YouGov's investigation show that 1 3rd of respondents believe that "highly right" people are treated more harshly, while "climate activists" and "high left" are treated mildly.
Future prospects
The current Prime Minister of large Britain has promised that the government will proceed a strict approach to hatred speech, which could lead to further escalation of social tensions. Conservative and right-wing environments can anticipate that the unfair, though long hand of power, will fall on them many more times in the close future. In this context, it is hard not to ask the question: is Britain moving towards a two-level justice strategy where punishment depends on views alternatively than on actions committed?
