In a chilling display of the UK’s increasing descent into totalitarianism, a 31-year-old father, Billy Thompson from Maryport, was arrested and sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for merely expressing an opinion on Facebook to a family member. This draconian action is an unsettling reminder of the practices common in communist regimes, where dissent is swiftly and harshly punished.
Thompson’s crime? Criticizing the police’s handling of violent confrontations that erupted across the country following the horrifying triple murder of three little girls and a teenager from Rwanda. Thompson himself is the father of a 17-month-old child. His Facebook post, which questioned the police’s response, was deemed by the court to have “incited violence,” resulting in a severe sentence aimed at discouraging others from sharing “wrong” opinions on social media.
The justification for such a harsh penalty was framed as a deterrent. The judge declared, “There must be a deterrent element in the sentence I impose because this type of behavior must stop.” This statement, steeped in authoritarian rhetoric, illustrates the dangerous path the UK is treading, where freedom of expression is increasingly being curtailed in the name of maintaining public order.

A Weaponized Communications Act
Thompson’s conviction is rooted in the reinterpretation of the UK’s Communications Act, a law now seemingly weaponized to silence political dissent. Although Thompson admitted to the post’s content, he claimed ignorance of the fact that expressing an opinion could constitute a crime. This case sets a disturbing precedent, where citizens must now second-guess every online comment, fearing the long arm of the law.
The prosecutor and judge further exacerbated the situation by labeling Thompson’s post as “racist,” pointing to the inclusion of an emoji depicting a non-Western person with a gun as evidence. This leap to criminalize an expression of frustration reveals an alarming trend where even the most innocuous actions are scrutinized and punished.
A Chilling Effect on Free Speech
The consequences of this case are already evident. Thompson, under pressure from his legal defense, has vowed never to express such opinions again, a clear indication that the intended chilling effect on free speech has taken hold. “He has received counseling and has said that he will absolutely not repeat this behavior again,” said a spokesperson for Thompson’s defense team, highlighting the extent to which fear has been instilled in the public.
Despite the possibility of serving only half of his sentence if a fine is paid, the emotional toll on Thompson’s family was palpable. Relatives wept openly in the courtroom as he was led away. This is deliberate messaging of the personal costs to people by the growing authoritarian state, should one go against officially acceptable opinions.
No Sympathy from Law Enforcement
In a statement devoid of compassion, Police Chief Superintendent Carl Patrick lauded the swift prosecution, expressing hope that it would serve as a warning to others. “This type of behavior will not be tolerated, and we will continue with this proactive policing approach,” he declared, signaling an unwavering commitment to silencing dissent.
Patrick’s remarks reflect a broader shift within the UK’s law enforcement, where monitoring social media and cracking down on “racially inflammatory” comments has become a priority. The chilling message is clear: express the wrong opinion, and the police will come knocking.
As the UK tightens its grip on free speech, many are left questioning how far this will go. The parallels to communist regimes, where dissent is met with imprisonment, are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. With each passing day, the UK’s slide into totalitarianism becomes more pronounced, leaving citizens to wonder—who will be next?

“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, issued an executive order mandating that public hospitals in the state gather data on patients’ immigration statuses to report to the state government.
Order GA 46, issued on Thursday, directs the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to collect information on illegal immigrants who use public hospitals for inpatient and emergency care and report the healthcare costs, so the state can track how much money was spent on illegal immigrants’ medical treatment and send the bill to the Biden administration, which the governor blames for the influx of illegal migrants entering the U.S. through the Southern Border.
“Due to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ open border policies, Texas has had to foot the bill for medical costs for individuals illegally in the state,” Abbott said in a statement. “Texas should not have to shoulder the burden of financially supporting medical care for illegal immigrants.”
“That is why I issued an Executive Order requiring the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to collect and report healthcare costs for illegal immigrants in our state,” he continued. “Texas will hold the Biden-Harris Administration accountable for the consequences of their open border policies, and we will fight to ensure that they pay back Texas for their costly and dangerous policies.” ”

“It’s more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online,” Bridget Phillipson, the U.K.’s secretary of state for education and minister for women and equalities, told the Telegraph.”
