In the latest insane case of free speech being utterly dead in the UK, a socially isolated man has been slapped with an 18-month prison sentence for two anti-immigration tweets that barely anyone saw—viewed a pathetic 33 times combined.
Luke Yarwood, 36, let loose on X after a deadly car attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, last December. His posts called to burn migrant hotels and take to the streets in force—ugly stuff, sure, but in a free society, should that land you behind bars when it reached fewer eyes than a bad cat video?
It’s the equivalent of shouting frustrations into an empty forest and getting hauled off to jail for it, all while actual criminals roam free.
