Precursor to confiscation

Who decides whether or not your free speech is "extremism"? In the UK, apparently the police.

Not only was it not his free speech (he is a subject of the UK, so not sure his free speech is real), but people on his youtube channel talking about guns.

Just wondering how long it will take before having a weapon or NES sticker on your automobile gets you extra scrutiny in determining your suitability in this country.

It’s extermly, really really extermly difficult to get a firearm license in the UK. If they have a hint of any militant believe or encouraging it through comments they would revoke his license. You have no control over what people will post and they didn’t stop that directly, indirectly it threatened his license. So he shut down his channel.

Similar thing the US government did with John Lennon, quit criticizing the US or we will revoke your visa.

Our rights in the US are not universally practiced. I was watching a Netflix documentary this weekend about cctv in England. There, the police were stopping vehicles because the registered owner had a drug dealing background. In the episode I watched there was no criminal behavior of the car in question. When the police pulled the car over, the operator was not the owner. The owner wasn't even in the vehicle. The police still went through the car as if a drug deal had just occurred.

As screwed up as this county is sometimes, it still seems better than the others.
