Dissent to State orthodoxy is becoming illegal

A new law is coming to the UK regarding Islamophobia. Only the main issue is not about Islam/ism/ophobia. I’m in favour of religious freedom. It’s about how the State deliberately creates a catch-all vague criminal definition to silence legitimate debate and opposition to Government-speak on key issues.

If you don’t agree, and say you agree, with everything the Government decides your opinion is, no matter how mad, then it’s off to the Gulag for you. As someone who has been behind the Iron Curtain three times, this is simply like Stalinism. And the madness (because no error correction mechanism) and atrocities grow.

If the British people allow such curtailments of important discourse (the freedom to express yourself and disagree peaceably in all conscience) then “Man’s inhumanity to man” is not far away.
