The UK has gone mad

20 months in prison for a social media post.
6 months for killing a kid with a machete.

Let's not forget Just Stop Oil members got five year jail sentences for what a judge called "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance." The sentences were handed out for using social media to coordinate direct action protests on the motorway. That means they got five years in jail for blocking traffic. You're correct. It is madness.

@Richard65 No, they got five years for the attempted destruction and defacing of priceless art and historical heritage sites.

@NativePortlander1970 they used non toxic washable orange powder. It was completely harmless. They were jailed for continuously challenging and embarrassing the state. Five years is despicable, as the UN agreed.

@NativePortlander1970 or had them transported to Australia, which, to be honest, is a worse fate.
