Woe be unto free speech in Britain…or anywhere else where liberals think that it is of more benefit to society that Muslims be protected from criticism than that we have a free exchange of ideas in our political debates. According to ChronicleLive and Breitbart News, police in Northumbria, Britain are in the middle on an investigation that has them tracking down social media users who made “offensive” comments about Muslims on the internet. This is of course one of the greatest sins you can commit in a tolerant, open society like Europe, and police aren’t playing around when it comes to punishing those responsible for these “potentially criminal” posts. The investigation opened when police found comments on their Facebook page in response to article chronicling the recent Operation Shelter scandal. This scandal involved Muslim men from Newcastle grooming young white British girls for sex slavery, and it attracted the kind of less-than-tolerant comments you might expect. After someone complained about the comments – some of which (the horror!) noted the race and religion of the 18 men convicted of the crimes – police began tracking down the people responsible for the posts. “As a result of a complaint, we can confirm we looked into a number of comments posted on the force’s Facebook page,” said a spokesperson for the police. “Following an investigation, which has now concluded, we spoke to two males as voluntary attenders and visited a further four people in their homes, and provided them with words of advice. All expressed their remorse and stated that the intention of their comments was not to cause concern or to be offensive and have acknowledged the words of advice provided. “We would also like to take this opportunity to remind people using social media that they should do so responsibly and ensure they do not post anything which could be considered offensive,” the spokesperson concluded. While we’re encouraged by the fact that Northumbria police did not actually arrest and charge any of the commenters with a crime, the fact that they would even devote resources to this nonsense is a huge step in the wrong direction. Far be it from us to tell British authorities how to run their country, but if you can’t make some basic observations about the nature of Islam when Muslims are selling young British girls into sexual slavery…well, something is a little off-kilter, don’t ya think? Thanks to the First Amendment, we don’t have to worry about this sort of thought policing coming to our shores, but you’d better damn believe the left would bring it here if they could. Poster Comment: The sun has set on the British Empire. It doesn't matter whether the fairy Prince Phillip and his ugly 'wife' are kink and queenie. Muslims practice discrimination against women and form of slavery. They cut their (girls)genitals. They hate pigs for what reason I do not know, (it is one of GODS creatures who they profess to pray to) Muslims want to kill and destroy anyone and anything that does not fit their way of thinking. THEN THEY SLITHER INTO THE UNITED STATES WHERE MOST CITIZENS ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT WE ARE AND THEY FORCEFULLY TRY TO CHANGE US.(wITH HELP FROM THEIR EVIL DEMOCRAT-COMMUNIST ALLIES. They screwed up their own shithole and instead of fixing it so they come here and try to create the shithole they're familiar with. I THINK NOT. We got off our back sides and, thanks to President Trump, enabled this country to not let low life's come in and take it away from us thereby creating an Islamic-Democrat-Communist nation!!!!!

The British have never had Free Speech. The lack of Free Speech is one of the reasons we revolted and left them.
Only America has ever had a real right of free speech. So often Americans don't appreciate just what that means.
Ironically enough,Russians now have a Constitutional RIGHT to free speech,and to even own firearms. This was done right after Yeltsin took over and they needed a new Constitution for the country after the collapse of the USSR. Now you know why so many US lefties suddenly started hating Russia. It was like their spouse was suddenly cheating on them.
Funny you mention him and his sudden change of outlook. Over at AoS, I think, I recently read a reminder of when Yeltsin lost faith in the Soviet system and knew it had utterly failed. I like to think that it was the free cheese samples that finally killed Lenin's evil dream. : ) Interesting when you look back for history's turning points. That was the real beginning of the end for Soviet communism.
/rimshot Sometimes I don't think your humor is appreciated. One day I think we should collaborate on some comedic endeavor... ;-)
I liked this story because it brings to mind a major failure of Soviet propaganda back in the Seventies. The Soviets sent a film team into America's black ghettos to deplore their poverty and crime. In the course of the film, it was revealed that all these desperately poor blacks in the ghettos had color TVs with many that had VCRs and microwave ovens. They showed this propaganda film in color in Soviet theaters. All the audiences could notice was that even the poorest people in America, downtrodden by capitalism, had color TVs and other luxuries that were almost impossible to obtain in the Soviet Union, even by the Politburo members.

Excellent anecdote of Soviet propaganda backfiring... Had to KILL the Ruskie audiences to see America's "most unfortunate" -- well-fed fat black "poor" people leisurely munching on popcorn watching color tee-bees that took years to obtain. The same irony is still lost on those same "poor" fat "African-Americans" who do exactly the same, sitting on their azzes and living like kings and queens FOR FREE, complaining about Whitey's "unfair" America.
They simply have no idea, due to poor education, of how blessed they are to live in America, more than any other place on earth. But we all do take America for granted, to some extent. The extensive civil liberties, the availability of goods, the cheap-ish food, well, the list is quite long. There is no other country where it is so good to be poor as in America.
Yup...Total obliviousness. They've been conditioned and taught from the cradle throughout public school's "education" in the hood to first and foremost blame Whitey....for having a car (but NOT a Bentley); For having Dominoes pizza (instead of gourmet); For living in a dirty small apt (instead of a mansion like Jay-Z), and for not being able to afford the 60" flat screen (instead of the 40".) But we all do take America for granted, to some extent. The extensive civil liberties, the availability of goods, the cheap-ish food, well, the list is quite long. You're absolutely right; We are ALL spoiled and taking EVERYTHING for granted. Material and Freedoms. 98% of Americans lack for no affordable food. OR free food. There is no other country where it is so good to be poor as in America. And still no one concedes this. Our most poor live like royalty (relative to most African and Asian nations, and relative to 95% of all "civilization", circa pre-1950.)

How A Supermarket Visit Brought Down The Soviet Union
Many point to the fact that the Soviet Union collapse occurred as the Soviets were baited into trying to compete with the defense build-up instituted by Ronald Reagan.
The Soviets just did not have the financial resources to match the United States in defense spending while also tending to the needs of its citizenry. The Soviets spent money on guns rather than butter. Something had to give and the Soviet people were the ones that suffered.
However, a little known visit to a suburban Houston supermarket in 1989 by Boris Yeltsin appears to have been the catalyst that ended up bringing down the Soviet Union.
Yeltsin visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston in September, 1989 to tour mission control and to view a model of the planned International Space Station.
After visiting the Space Center, Yeltsin made an unplanned stop at a local Randall's grocery store that was close by before heading to the airport.
That visit changed the course of history.
At the time, Yeltsin was a newly elected member of the Soviet Parliament and the Supreme Soviet and had been a key ally of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Mikhail Gorbachev, who was initiating reforms but the pace of which was too slow for Yeltsin.
Houston Chronicle reporter Stephanie Asin was with Yeltsin on the visit to the grocery store that day.
This is a picture of Yeltsin touring the grocery store.Yeltsin, then 58, “roamed the aisles of Randall’s nodding his head in amazement,” wrote Asin. He told his fellow Russians in his entourage that if their people, who often must wait in line for most goods, saw the conditions of U.S. supermarkets, “there would be a revolution.”
“Even the Politburo doesn’t have this choice. Not even Mr. Gorbachev,” he said.
The fact that stores like these were on nearly every street corner in America amazed him. They even offered free cheese samples. According to Asin, Yeltsin didn’t leave empty-handed, as he was given a small bag of goodies to enjoy on his trip. 
This Houston Chronicle story from 2014 fills in the rest of the story.
To give you some perspective on what was available in the Soviet Union at that time, here is a picture of a Russian store from that era.About a year after the Russian leader left office, a Yeltsin biographer later wrote that on the plane ride to Yeltsin’s next destination, Miami, he was despondent. He couldn’t stop thinking about the plentiful food at the grocery store and what his countrymen had to subsist on in Russia.
In Yeltsin’s own autobiography, he wrote about the experience at Randall’s, which shattered his view of communism, according to pundits. Two years later, he left the Communist Party and began making reforms to turn the economic tide in Russia.
“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”
An aide to Yeltsin later reported that in that visit to the grocery store in Houston “the last vestige of Bolshevism collapsed” inside his boss.
Two years later Yeltsin was elected to the newly created office of President of the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union with Gorbachev.
Yeltsin immediately began dismantling the socialist economic system and introducing capitalism to the Russians. In the process he attempted to convert the world's largest command economy into a free-market one.
The results of that transition were rocky in large part to cronyism in the break-up of many of the large state-owned businesses. In the process, many Russian oligarchs were created and Yeltsin eventually resigned his office in 1999 haunted by charges of corruption and incompetence.
His successor?
Vladimir Putin.
The falling price of oil has put a similar squeeze on Putin and the Russians today. Putin has been popular with the Russian people based on his macho style and nationalistic bombast. However, potential trouble lurks for Putin because of the Russian economy.
The Russian consumer is being squeezed with annual inflation of almost 20% and the average Russian spends about 50% of their income on food.
By comparison, the average American spends only 8% of income on groceries.
Will groceries once again determine the future of Russia?
