Six years in jail... not for grievous bodily harm, not for assault, not
for selling Class A drugs to children, but 6 years in jail for sharing
something on social media that the government deems Politically
Incorrect.
Six years in jail is the proposed maximum sentence put forward by the
Sentencing Council in their latest set of proposals titled "Public Order
Offences Guidelines: Consultation" and these proposed six year sentences
will be handed out to individuals who share social media posts that are
deemed hostile towards a race, religion or sexual identity. The new
guidelines drafted by the Sentencing Council also propose a _minimum_
punishment which is again, a prison sentence, but this time of 26 weeks.
The Sentencing Council's Public Order Offences Guidelines Consultation
was published on the 9th of May this year and I have placed a link to
their website in the description below. From this link you can download
the full document and read their press release on the document.
But what _is_ the Sentencing Council? Well, I read this from their
website and I quote: "The Sentencing Council for England and Wales
promotes greater consistency in sentencing, whilst maintaining the
independence of the judiciary. The Council produces guidelines on
sentencing for the judiciary and criminal justice professionals, and aims
to increase public understanding of sentencing".
So these proposals aim to lay out "guidelines" that will promote
"consistency" and these particular proposals have been made in relation
to the Public Order Act which prohibits activities intended or likely to
stir up hatred against minority groups,
[02:00]
which includes racial groups, religious groups, and those of minority
sexual orientations, including transgender people. The consultation
period on these proposals will run until the 8th of August this year.
Following that, definitive guidelines will be drawn up and those
guidelines will be used in courts in England and Wales.
The proposals on how sentencing will be determined are quite clear: there
are 2 factors that must be considered by judges when handing down
sentences. These factors are "culpability" and "harm".
Firstly, let's look at culpability. "Culpability" is split into three
brackets which are high, medium and lesser and we're going to focus on
the _high_ culpability category, but you're of course welcome to read the
full document for yourself to understand these proposals fully. I read
this from the proposed Sentencing Guidelines, and I quote:
"High culpability: the factors proposed were identified as factors
increasing seriousness of offences in the limited numbers of cases
available for analysis. Among the cases analysed there are a number of
"hate speech" type offences where inflammatory speeches were given by
influential figures with the intention of stirring up racial hatred.
Other cases involved publication on YouTube of content inciting serious
violence towards particular racial or religious groups, websites being
published including abusive and insulting content, with some activity
continuing over a long period of time and intended to reach global
audiences. The Council considers that activities of the type listed
represent the highest level of culpability for these offences,
[04:00]
as they demonstrate a serious intention to stir up hatred towards
particular groups."
There are some very worrying terms used within that section on "high
culpability": the first is "influential figures". This suggests that
sentences will be harsher for those who have large followings or where
posts or uploaded content has been viewed a large number of times. This
is also bolstered by the following definition relating to uploaded
content and again I quote: "Intended to reach global audiences". So, if
an individual has a large following and has uploaded content that was
intended to reach a global audience, like, say, a YouTube video--and
YouTube is specifically mentioned within this section--that individual
could well fall into the "high culpability" bracket when being sentenced.
"High culpability" also takes into account the period of time over which
the individual has been publishing content. So if someone was to post a
video that reached a global audience and that video was part of a long-
running series or posted to a channel that had been active for several
years, all of those factors _could_ see that person being punished to the
full extent of these proposed guidelines.
Now let's move on to the second category defined within these guidelines:
"harm". "Harm" is split into two categories which are simply referred to
as category 1 and category 2. Again, we will focus on the guidelines for
category 1 offences which are as follows, and I quote:
"Harm category 1 factors.
The proposed factors are intended to reflect the most serious harm which
could be caused by this offence. The ways in which these offences can be
committed are wide-ranging,
[06:00]
which the factors reflect.
The Council considers that the most serious harm present in these
offences would be cases where activity is encouraged which threatens or
endangers life, as well as cases involving widespread dissemination of
material and/or a strong likelihood that many would be influenced."
Obviously, this definition includes cases where people are encouraging
activity that threatens or endangers life and from my point of view, that
is not unreasonable. Anyone using a platform to call for the murder or
physical harm of others should indeed be prosecuted. After all there are
plenty of Islamic extremists and left wing activists that call for
violence. It just seems as if the police are less inclined to pursue
charges against these groups when they are the ones issuing any kind of
threat. However, the part of this definition that is the most worrying is
the following, and again I quote:
"Cases involving widespread dissemination of material and/or a strong
likelihood that many would be influenced".
So if you were involved in a case of "widespread dissemination of
material" where "many would be influenced", then you could well be placed
into category 1 when it comes to causing "harm" under this definition;
however the term "many" is not defined. Is it a thousand? Ten thousand?
One hundred thousand? Or even a million? Because if "many" is defined in
the low thousands, or even hundreds, that could literally affect almost
_anyone_ with a Facebook, Twitter or YouTube account.
The proposed culpability and harm categories then form a matrix which
allows for a judge to assess what sentence someone, who was found guilty
of an offence, would receive.
[08:00]
So someone who ended up being judged as having "high culpability" and
whose offence fell in category 1 when relating to "harm", would face a
sentence of between two and six years in prison.
So let's break this down. How could you end up in the section of the
matrix that would have you staring down the barrel of a six year prison
sentence? Well, quite simply, if you are an influential figure, a term
that isn't defined but could easily be someone with a few thousand
YouTube subscribers or Twitter followers; if you are someone who is
producing material intended for a global audience, which could be simply
uploading a YouTube video or maybe producing a meme for Twitter, and, if
the content you produce goes on to be viewed by "many people"--again,
"many" is not defined--you could be facing _six years in jail_.
But what kind of content would you need to actually post to get yourself
arrested? Well that's very subjective. In fact I made an entire video
about this issue called "Britain's Soviet-style Hate Crime Laws". It's
linked in the description below. In this video, I read from the British
College of Policing's booklet called "Hate Crime Operational Guidance".
This document explained exactly how the police were to address and
investigate so-called "hate crimes". There were two very important things
to take from that document.
Firstly, there is no legal definition of what a "hate crime" is. A "hate
crime" is any criminal offence which is _perceived_ by the victim or any
other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice towards another
person based on an issue such as race, religion or sexual orientation.
Whether a crime is a "hate crime" or not
[10:00]
all falls down to the perception of the victim or in fact any other
person and that other person doesn't even have to be an onlooker or even
be present when the incident takes place; they can simply have heard or
read of the alleged incident and interpreted said incident as being
motivated by hate and contacted the police to tell them so.
Secondly, when someone reports a "hate crime" to the police the
guidelines laid out in the aforementioned document do not require the
person who reports a so-called "hate crime" to provide any evidence to
the police to back up their claims that the person committing the alleged
crime was motivated by "hate" and regardless of how ridiculous or far-
fetched those claims may appear, the police are not allowed to challenge
the claim that the alleged crime was motivated by "hate".
To hear about all this in detail please do watch my previous video as
it's a very important topic. But from that short summary, it is clear to
see that the way the police investigate so-called "hate crimes" isn't
based on facts but instead on feelings; and the police officers
investigating these "hate crimes" aren't allowed to challenge those
feelings or demand any facts to back them up. So for an individual to be
arrested for sharing something on social media, and for that individual
to be potentially looking at a lengthy jail sentence, all that needs to
happen is for someone to report that social media post to the police and
claim that the social media post in question is a "hate crime". At the
very least the police would have to investigate their claim without even
challenging it. There is no definition of what can or cannot be posted to
social media. Whether your post will be investigated as a "hate crime"
is all down to the _perception_ of those who view it,
[12:00]
and whether they report it to the police as a "hate crime".
And even if what you posted was 100% factual and contained no commentary,
simply statements of fact, that would be no defence in this sort of
prosecution. Liberals are already referring to certain facts as "hate
facts". These are of course facts that liberals _feel_ may cause one
group of people--those of European descent--to be--how can we say it--
wary of other racial or religious groups. So if you were someone who had
a large following on Twitter and you were to post a meme that merely
stated the fact that 1400 White girls were systematically groomed and
sexually abused by Moslem men in the town of Rotherham in England, and
then someone reported you to the police over that post and reported it as
a "hate crime", that tweet would not only be investigated as a "hate
crime" but because of
--the size of your twitter following,
--the number of people who viewed the tweet,
--the intended global reach of the tweet, and
the fact that it could--and I quote--"stir up hatred towards particular
groups" (and in this case the particular group is a religious minority),
that could satisfy all the conditions in these proposals for you to be
sentenced to spend the best part of a _decade_ in prison.
What you have just heard isn't taken from the pages of a dystopian novel
or the script of a dark Sci-fi film about an oppressive police state.
Everything stated in this video comes directly from documents that are
used by the police and the judiciary when dealing with so-called hate
crimes. This is sadly the grim reality of laws that are being tightened
in order to prevent any public discourse over topics deemed
[14:00]
"politically incorrect" by our internationalist puppet politicians.
Politicians that are turning Britain into a Politically Correct police
State--a State where the police prioritise feelings over evidence. A
State where if someone is reported to the police for wrong-think, the
police must investigate that report and cannot challenge the person
making the report. A State where facts are deemed "hate", and a State
where posting facts or opinions to a social network can land you with a
jail sentence that would historically be associated with crimes such as
manslaughter, grievous bodily harm or sexual assault.
But it doesn't have to be this way and there is actually a way to stop
these proposals becoming a set of official guidelines. These proposals
are currently in a consultation process and that consultation process is
open to all members of the public. I have left a link in the description
below to the page where members of the public can respond to these
proposals and I urge _everyone_ to participate in this consultation and
let the Sentencing Council know how _utterly_ ridiculous, open-ended and
anti-free speech their proposals are.
This is where you can make a difference. Make sure your voice is heard.
