No, the older women are being arrested for protesting in the streets in support of an organisation our government has deemed to be aligned with terrorism. It’s entirely silly but not as silly as your example.

No, the older women are being arrested for protesting in the streets against an organisation that is committing terrorism, because the government has deemed that actual terrorism is not terrorism and opposing terrorism is the real terrorism, and a bunch of nonsensical things like that.

I think you consuming too much right wing American media.

I think you're willfully ignoring how authoritarian your country is.

Last I checked I don’t think we were stopping people at the border because they said mean things about our government.

So your counter is to show that we won’t let a blatant racist in? I think a lot of folks in the UK would consider that a good thing.

Just out of genuine curiosity, what media are you consuming to have this view of the country?

So you are okay with people being denied entry because of their words, just certain words?

In a country that doesn’t have the first amendment, yes.

Again, genuinely interested in what media you’re consuming to have this view of the UK.

Isn't it interesting that your view of right and wrong is different in different countries - that you think certain things are wrong in your country but right in other countries.

Not wanting to have your people and culture erased is not racist.

But they are not arresting american old ladies unless they have done something wrong while in the UK. That's the line that you can expect to cause a diplomatic shitstorm.

The were arrested for encouraging people to burn down hotels with people inside… they went to prison because they pleaded guilty to racial hatred offences
