   Looks like a lot of white native Brits are being made an example, while a lot   
   of non-native sub-Saharans and Muslims are getting that "different example"   
   treatment.

   Here we have a white native Brit arrested at 4AM, in front of his   
   cancer-stricken wife, for saying on social media that he dislikes seeing   
   Palestinian flags everywhere.   
      
   No threat. No violence. Just an opinion.   
      
   This isn’t the democracy the government keeps claiming it is. It's   
   totalitarianism.   
      
   Meanwhile, Muslims in the streets are openly chanting support for Hamas, a   
   terrorist organization, which is indirect support for the idea of mass   
   slaughter of Jews, which is what Hamas stands for, and literally none of them   
   are visited by the police in the middle of the night.   
      
   How many "examples" does it take before it becomes routine policy?
