Not too long ago, a video made the rounds on social media showing an older, partially deaf British man faced harassment from police after asking a migrant to speak English. That, authorities informed him, was a 'hate crime.'
Why?
Because reasons.
Now Prime Minister Keir Starmer is saying migrants should speak English and vows to raising English language requirements for immigrants.
If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That’s common sense.

So we’re raising English language requirements across every main immigration route.
Is this no longer a hate crime, or is it okay when the government does it?
“Speak English”?

That’s literally a hate crime in your tyrannical fascist hell-hole, jacka**.
Off to jail for you!

And here's the video we mentioned.
You let the entire 3rd world invade your country.

It’s far too late for that
You already destroyed your own country by being a stupid leftist.
Yeah. Hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube now.
That sounds like extreme far-right Brexity-things rhetoric to me. Report him!

The police need to show up to 10 Downing Street.
So if you do a meme in another language you get twice the jail time?

Probably.
But don’t you arrest people for tweeting things like this?

You’re such a confusing politician.
A couple of years ago, Starmer insisted some men had cervixes.
Until the Supreme Court told him it was okay to say otherwise.
He's the smarmiest of politicians, and that's with Gavin Newsom as governor of California.

Which means these promises and plans have an expiration date of two seconds after Labour wins the next eleection.

Heh.
Imagine if Democrats campaigned on this. Essentially what is happening to British liberals. https://t.co/KLGnCAcXN3

It's all performative lip service, but at least Labour realizes it's being insane.
The Democrats do not.

Probably.
It's a criminal act to say "if you want to live in the UK, you should speak English" in Britain (cf. Crime and Disorder Act 1998, s. 33, s. 50A), and UK police have issued warnings for asking someone to 'speak English' https://t.co/1fe47lV9Ne

If Starmer is serious, step one is removing this odious law.
He is not serious, however.
