61-Year-Old Brit Gets 18 Month Prison Sentence For Chanting “Who The F**k Is Allah”<\/span><\/p>\n

A 61-year-old man in the UK was jailed for 18 months for chanting \u201cwho the fuck is Allah\u201d and telling police officers \u201cyou\u2019re not English anymore\u201d during a protest outside Downing Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes really.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Spring attended a demonstration of around 700 people in London on July 31 which turned disorderly.<\/p>\n

Police bodycam footage that was played in court showed Spring calling police officers \u201ccunts,\u201d making \u201chostile gestures\u201d and joining in with chants of \u201cwho the fuck is Allah\u201d and \u201cyou\u2019re not English anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Spring\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

When he was arrested, Spring told police, \u201cI didn\u2019t go up to London to riot. I went to complain about people put up in hotels,\u201d referring to illegal immigrants staying in hotels at taxpayer expense.<\/p>\n

Defending lawyer Piers Kiss-Wilson said, \u201cThe defendant asked me to put forward his apologies to the court and he says he is embarrassed by his behaviour and he is ashamed by it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also wants to apologise to his family and friends and his wife who don\u2019t deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s wife, who suffers from ill health, will now be deprived of her primary carer thanks to Spring\u2019s imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Two headlines<\/p>\n

Two legal judgments<\/p>\n

The question once again arises as to why these individuals are continuing to plead guilty despite the fact that it is not preventing them from being handed jail time.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As we highlighted yesterday, Spring\u2019s sentence is only outdone in its absurdity by cases where online speech of people who never even attended riots is leading to prison sentences.<\/p>\n

Another man was imprisoned for 2 months merely for posting the words \u201ccoming to a town near you\u201d alongside images of Muslim men on Facebook.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
