Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-01-20 11:21:21Copy HTML I behave like somebody who knows exactly what he’s talking about and not somebody who assumes something without first looking, not one who bases his opinions on what he favours but what he reads. You should try it |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-01-20 03:48:30Copy HTML They certainly are conspiracy sites. There's the dark regions of the West Yorkshire Police website, 24,703 arrests. The Standard Newspaper reporting 12,183 (regional).Then there's Hansard, who put the figure at 30 people a day. Let me just figure that one out for you, that's 210 per week, which is 840 a month, I'll leave the yearly total to you.Don't bother it's 14,700. Now, where do you get your figures from? if you need any more, don't hesitate to ask, as I have plenty more |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-01-20 06:58:03Copy HTML Many of the arrests were for posting indecent images, not criticism of the government. The law outlawing the posting of indecent or pornographic images dates back to 1988, nothing to do with Labour, Mrs Thatcher was PM then! As Tommy says it's easy to post eye-watering figures in the hope that they prove a point, in this case they don't. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Your supposition that that it was for indecent images just shows how clueless you are. |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2026-01-20 09:33:58Copy HTML Not all of course, but most of them. People are not being arrested in anywhere near the numbers you're suggesting due to Labour policy. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.
