these guys got arrested, but not sure if they served jail time.

According to the Evening Standard newspaper, the leaflet featured a cartoon of the Auschwitz death camp where more than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, perished, with the sign above its gate changed from “Arbeit macht frei” (work sets you free) to "Vaccines are safe path to freedom".

Yeah? Do you think that should be punishable with jail time?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Didn't you say you weren't sure they served jail time lol.

I mean didn't even take the time to see it wasn't from being antivax, it was because they were being assholes to others or the cops asking them to stop

The 73-year-old is suspected of malicious communications and public nuisance, and the 37-year-old was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence. They have been released on police bail until a date in early March.

I was asking if he thought they should

More that it's more than them merely being antivax

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, they also expressed those views...

Hey look again from your own article it wasn't because they were anti vax

Yes that is the very problematic and dangerous mechanism by which they stifle free speech, and you won't care until Palestine action people are similarly charged. Which is my entire point.

Again if you had read your source you'd stop saying it was because antivax and would see it was laws that have always been on the books in the UK.

What is being done to Palestinian Action is atrocious but in no way similar to the asshole antivax people you linked

What do you mean? The UK has had a list of terrorists for a long time and if you support them then you can be arrested. "These laws have always been on the books."
