The United Kingdom needs to be turned off and rebooted.
No, I take that back. It needs a whole new operating system. The current one has become infected with a virus that has scrambled everything, and there is no way to set things right.

If you think this story is bonkers, it really is only the tip of the iceberg.
An IT consultant was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US.
Jon Richelieu-Booth said he was shocked by the “Orwellian” decision by West Yorkshire Police (WYP) to prosecute him over the social media post.
The 50-year-old said that on Aug 13 he had posted a picture of himself on LinkedIn holding a shotgun while on a private homestead with friends during a holiday in Florida.
Mr Richelieu-Booth claims the LinkedIn message contained nothing he considered threatening, with the picture attached to a lengthy post about his day and work activities.
However, he said that a police officer later visited his home to warn him that concerns had been raised about the post.
“I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel,” he said.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said he offered to provide officers with proof that the picture of the firearm had been taken while he was in the US but the officers said that was not necessary.
Mr Richelieu-Booth said two officers then returned to his home shortly after 10pm on Aug 24 and arrested him.
A bail document seen by The Telegraph refers to an allegation of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and a further allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.
He said he was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed.
As you can see from the tweets above, an Islamic man who is a councillor in a city can post a picture of himself with an AK-47, and everything’s cool, but a white IT consultant who posted on LinkedIn his vacation photo can be arrested and harassed for months for being seen with a gun in Florida.
I would say “Make it make sense,” but of course, it really does make sense if you begin with the presumption that there is two-tier justice in Great Britain, based on the assumption that white Britons need to be put in their place.
The firearms and stalking allegations were also dropped but Mr Richelieu-Booth was charged with a public order offence relating to a different social media post.
He claims not to know which post he was being charged in relation to and does not recall being questioned by police about any specific post made on that date.
He had been due to appear at Bradford magistrates’ court on Nov 25 charged with an offence of displaying “any writing/sign/visible representation with intent to cause harassment/alarm or distress”. However, that charge was also later dropped, he said.
Unable to work
Mr Richelieu-Booth claimed he has been left unable to do his job as a self-employed IT contractor because the force seized his phone and computers.
Describing his ordeal as “massive overreach”, Mr Richelieu-Booth added: “Anybody should be allowed to say anything they wish, as long as it’s not hateful.
“When did we go from a society where you can have a discussion with somebody and go, ‘You know what? I don’t like your opinion. I’m going to disagree with you, but I’m not going to tell you why, I’m going to call the police’.
Obviously, somebody has it in for Mr Richelieu-Booth, but nobody will share with him who it is or even what specifically he did.
And, as you can see, the process is the punishment. Thrown in jail. Let go. Charges put up, charges taken down. No specific allegations, but dark implications. Taking away his ability to work while imposing legal fees.
It’s all Orwellian, and that is the point. This man is being treated this way pour encourager les autres.
“See what we can do to you?”
Why do Britons put up with this? The answer is that many don’t and are fighting back. Of course, their resistance is used as an excuse to crack down ever harder. Some people are allowed to protest and even declare their intentions to bring Britain down; but if you are white, you are labeled a threat and targeted by the establishment.
Western governments keep warning about the rise of white supremacy, but the #1 cause of white backlash against “multiculturalism” is that white people are treated as the enemy by their own government. Is it any surprise that race has become a flashpoint when everything is determined by…race?
Britons can’t wave their own flag without being treated like criminals. Muslims can wave the ISIS flag and call for globalizing the Intifada and imposing Sharia law in the West.
There’s a simple reason that populist fever is exploding in the West: the elite have declared themselves the enemy of the populace.
