  First link says > No one has been arrested or charged and you were claiming arrest Second link: Police officers joking about raping, again no arrest for political opinion Third link: racist and antisemitic stickers. Again, nothing political. Well if your idea of politics is blind hate then the discussion from my side is over. You might say UK has censorship and no absolute free speech. That's true, but this is still miles away from prosecuting political opinions. I am not from UK but I am perfectly comfortable with prosecuting rape threats and hate.

    There are people in China who find wanting democracy just as abhorent as you find hate speech. It's a different value system. I'm sure they'd make similar arguments. Again, political speech isn't just speech you happen to approve of.

      Nice whataboutism. I don't really care about random Chinese person opinion on democracy. I want civilized society around me. If you really believe rape threats are somehow political speech you can fuck right off. I am generally against violence but if you try to justify this to my face you would get slapped. I am fine with people voicing ideas ranging from communism to white supremacism as long as there are no calls for hate and violence.
