A 61-year-old British man is sentenced to 18 months in prison for chanting “Who the fuck is Allah?” and telling police officers “you’re not English anymore” during an anti-Muslim immigration protest outside Downing Street.
ZeroHedge (h/t Nita) The sentence handed out to David Spring is the latest shocking example of how low the bar has now been set in terms of free speech in response to rioting that occurred after the murder of three girls in Southport last month.
Spring attended a demonstration of around 700 people in London on July 31 which turned disorderly. Police bodycam footage that was played in court showed Spring calling police officers “cunts,” making “hostile gestures” and joining in with chants of “who the fuck is Allah” and “you’re not English anymore.”
In the UK there are already de facto blasphemy laws. But under pressure from the Islamic lobby, which is growing in power, an incoming Labour government contemplates introducing legislation which would irreversibly damage freedom of speech and stifle any ability to criticize… pic.twitter.com/46qbwvbgTP

While Spring’s behavior could be described as offensive and unruly, the fact that he will spent the next year and a half behind bars for saying mean words exemplifies how the UK has slipped into extreme authoritarianism in the space of just two weeks.
When he was arrested, Spring told police, “I didn’t go up to London to riot. I went to complain about people put up in hotels,” referring to Muslim illegal immigrants staying in hotels at taxpayer expense. The man’s wife, who suffers from ill health, will now be deprived of her primary carer thanks to Spring’s imprisonment.
Despite the fact that the legislation surrounding hate speech and incitement is more draconian in the UK than in numerous other major western countries, one would think a good free speech lawyer would be able to defend these people more adeptly.
As we highlighted yesterday, Spring’s sentence is only outdone in its absurdity by cases where online speech of people who never even attended riots is leading to prison sentences.
Another man was imprisoned for 2 months merely for posting the words “coming to a town near you” alongside images of Muslim men on Facebook.

Best comment on this: @jumblestiltskin1365 This goes far beyond any issue with Free Speech. The wording, being so vague and including the word “perceived” means that almost any issue surrounding a muslim person (say at work, socially etc) and their wishes can now be obfuscated by using this blasphemy law….the word “perceived” is the key here, even if the perception is later proved as incorrect, the process of having to defend yourself against it will be too much for most ordinary people. This a creeping evil.
Question: what is the difference between england and germany here……answer: england goes public with it and lets all know where they stand and germany does this secretly , come here and say things like this and you will be followed by correctiv (deportation lies and more) and the antonio club where mrs. kahane sits and she was a super stasi worker in the old ddr. Then comes the many green left rotarys and the many nazi hunters from the antifa, when that wont shut you down, they send the verfassungsschutz to you and it wont be nice so where is freedom of speech, where?…there is none and all know it then this import of invaders would not be possible would it.
All I have to say is “What HE said!” and I hope he gets a very good lawyer and knocks it out of the park.
Meanwhile, in the formerly free USA, Tulsi Gabbard is now on the democrat crime syndicate’s hit list. She, an Iraq war veteran, former US congresswoman, one time POTUS candidate, and current military service person, is on their domestic terrorist list, being surveilled, harassed and having her private conversations monitored because she speaks truthfully about the mob that is running ( running down) the USA. Her husband is suffering the same. People had better get the sleep outta their eyes, because it WILL happen to anyone who speaks. It already is. The democrat criminals are equal to the communist parties elsewhere. They have been hiding for ever, but are quickly emerging with their masks removed. Look how fast the Brit government went from being assholes, to being pathological, tyrannical dictators. WAKE UP .
It’s disgusting what they are doing to Tulsi Gabbard. She should sue the Justice Dept.
It is totally disgusting. I hope she’s getting good and lawyered up.
Not likely. These people are getting prison sentences.
Yes then to kill a lion you need a gun and we dont have one. The mighty wont give an inch and they wont stop at words, when this keeps growing in the soceietys then they will send the millitary to us and they have no second thoughts to letting the millitary shoot at us. What we are experiencing is the try to turn our nations into totalitary states where a few get all and the rest must work for the all. Socialism at its best form is what we see here and nothing else. That socialism didnt work over 40 times doesnt matter then this time it will work …promise or not, soon we shall see the truth and it wont be nice at all. The second world war was socialism too and the one comming is the same so what do we learn…the socialist wont ever give up power without much grief and bloodshed and history gives me the proof.
Islam is worst than Nazism and Communism. Not acceptable in the Free World. BAN ISLAM NOW.
I wonder what the petty dictator thinks when I say fuck the prophet ? Mass migration into western countries from Muslim countries is suicidal, I hope Cair or someone from the uk gov reads this , fuck the prophet
Not to worry, CAIR monitors this blog everyday.
Hope they are triggered
Really now well then heres a message for cair, go screw yourself and soon you will feel your incompetence.
It is amazing to watch in what short period of time an administration not only implements but doubles down on one of the most repressive two tiered hate speech and incitement policies.
And this in a country which was previously known to be a gravity center of free speech in Europe.
Thank G-d we kicked the brits out. They are doomed and they did it to themselves by importing the muzzies Unless they institute mass deportations of these enemies of modernity, there will be no england in a generation.They won’t, tho.
We need to see a new Oliver Cromwell or similar to arise and end the present totalitarian government. The English have a fine and illustrious history of taking off the heads of those rulers who have displeased them and long may that continue!
Does no he curran blaspheme against Jews and Christians and other infidels?
Let the Brits start quoting the curran in digital media and see what happens.
That’s a disgrace. I would have said the exact same thing. “who tf is Allah?” Nice choice of words.. 😊
18 months for slagging off worthless Moslems is outright injustice.
Better to seek Yeshua, Jesus, now than in the heat of battle with the anti-christ who is alive and well. His entrance will be subtle to those who are not expecting him. Hopefully very evident to those who profess Jesus as their Savior, but maybe not. Those peoples whom we are not allowed to criticize will rule over us and he (anti-christ) will be their leader.
Look to Heaven when He (Jesus) comes on the clouds to save and restore Israel, Christians and the earth. Look to the far east (Turkey) and the countries surrounding Israel for the anti-christ who seeks to destroy all who oppose his god. Seek the LORD while you still have breath and freedom. He loves you and is waiting for you to answer His knock on your heart’s door. Time is slipping away……….
It’s not about Islam. It’s about all foreigners. They all need to leave the UK.
That won’t happen because the UK is ruled by proxy.
Who is that? Who rules the UK?
No one knows. No one can figure it out.
Who owns the banks?
No one knows.
No one can say.
the deep state
Nothing is left for anyone in Great Britain who values freedom and individual rights other than civil war. Yes. Civil war with modern weapons will be horrible but what will life be like under the vicious stupid tyrannical scum, the left, who are dedicated to concentration camps, midnight show trials, and political murder?
Shariah!
Over my dead body. Fu*k Shariah law, Sharia Law is Satanic Law.
