Billy Thompson, a father of young children, has been unjustly imprisoned for 12 weeks simply for expressing his opinion during a Facebook conversation with a family member, a shocking example of the UK’s descent into totalitarianism where free speech is criminalized and dissent is brutally punished.
In a chilling display of the UK’s increasing descent into totalitarianism, a 31-year-old father, Billy Thompson from Maryport, was arrested and sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for merely expressing an opinion on Facebook to a family member. This draconian action is an unsettling reminder of the practices common in communist regimes, where dissent is swiftly and harshly punished.
