BREAKING NEWS: Military VETERAN Jailed for Facebook Posts. What Happened?

[@Nick-qg1tr]

Starmer has shown his cards and we must do everything we can to remove him and this vile government who hates on it's own people.

[@mikeh2613]

Starmer is not 100% to blame, a lot of this woke ideology was promoted and legalised by the Tories. Politicians, lawyers, they all pee in the same pot🙄

[@duncancartwright5662]

@Nick-qg1tr but he has worked so hard with political skills , such as lies , misleading people and how to silence non-believers , that must take serious time , effort and commitment 👏 🤣

[@Marek-o3u]

I do have to keep pointing out that Starmer is merely using the apparatus built for him by the previous government. Imagine building a State that can be suborned by the first bad actor that comes along. Well, they did. There is scarcely a hair between them in reality. Granted this lot are even more incompetent that the tories were. Their socialist principles will crash the economy hard. Perfect for authoritarians to wield more power over the disaffected.

[@Valleycommando-d9g]

I’m a veteran myself, I call myself patriotic, but I have no allegiance whatsoever with this government. We are in for 5 years of rot and misery under this Labour government, we are having our Biden/ Harris years, like the USA went through, will we get our Trump at the next general election, perhaps this government is a wake up call to the silent majority to roar their disapproval at the uniparty system, bring in change

[@keithawhosoever5384]

I too have no allegiance to this government aka regime . I'm not sure what it means to be "patriotic" these days , but I am for the traditional British values that I grew up with . I find them hard to define too , except to say everything 'woke' and 'politically correct' , in today's fallen world are totally opposite for what I stand for .

This veteran has experience of a certain culture from being sent to Afghanistan and Iraq. He was sent there by our government and obviously knows what he is talking about - he got PTSD from this experience. Then some ‘woke’ judge who has no experience of the military or our ‘alleged enemies’ puts this veteran in prison for two years. I am absolutely horrified. That man was trained to see certain groups as the enemy and then suddenly he is returned to civvy street and has to change to a different indoctrination.

[@tez4274]

There was a bloke in our town who got done for the same thing, but he pleaded not guilty. What he had said was published in our local paper and it was possibly on a par or slighty more offensive than this guy. He I believe defended himself in court and was acquitted by the jury and was free to go.

[@Karl-j1w]

There was a similar case that ended in acquittal recently.

[@irene56]

Lawyers advised the political prisoners to plead guilty. They were told it would help them in court. They were wrongly advised. The offensive Ricky Jones, Labour councillor, who was seen by the world inciting violent disorder, gets advised to plead not guilty, and he walks free until he appears in court again in January. Does Starmer think the people will have forgotten about Jones by then, and he'll not have to go to prison for what he did. I hope not. For Peter Lynchs sake, we must not forget what Ricky Jones said and did.

[@mobob75]

We are allowing Islamism into our country when Islamic countries are aware of the insidious nature of it banning these groups well before we even thought of it.
