  • Free speech absolutists that don’t recognise that telling people to kill people, burn down their houses, or sink the boats they’re on is a very obvious line and not a “slippery slope”.

    Not to mention the fact that the exact same people are calling on the government to stop foreigners from coming into the country stirring up trouble… Is precisely what they are doing here.

    They aren’t shutting down the rally, they are simply refusing to allow foreign interests to intervene in British politics in a way which is detrimental to an ordered and civil society (e.g. these are people that promote rioting)








  • Prisons don’t really do much to deter crimes with short sentences anyway. And they often result in people just getting more damaged and more likely to commit more crime.

    Most crimes which carry short sentences should be handled through probation and social support (not financial obviously).

    Community service is a classic punishment which I think makes good sense for nonviolent crime.

    A bigger problem is the inability to sentence violent offenders to lengthy stays in prisons. And of course the lack of rehabilitation in those prisons.
