Negative opinions about wave of Muslim refugees 'will not be tolerated'
In another chilling example of how free speech is being criminalized, police in Scotland arrested a man after he made an “offensive” Facebook post about Muslim migrants arriving in his area.
Police Scotland confirmed today that they had arrested a 40-year-old man under the Communications Act for a post in which was critical of 12 Syrian families who recently arrived in the seaside town of Rothesay.
“I hope that the arrest of this individual sends a clear message that Police Scotland will not tolerate any form of activity which could incite hatred and provoke offensive comments on social media,” remarked Insp Ewan Wilson from Dunoon police office.

I can see this happening here. I already see calls for banning "hate speech" (which equals "any opinion I don't agree with" on social media).
No Bill o' Rights in Britain. There is no "free speech" never has been.
1002 what are you doing about it
I was turned in and suspended for 24 hours for putting up anti Hillery stuff on FB.
Time for Europe to over throw their tyrannical governments.

Was it that, or because you did it on company time?
Well we all know that Facebook has no boundaries.Anything nasty,disgusting,offensive or otherwise is allowed,so the countries who are attempting regulation are fooling themselves.Even terroristic threats are allowed.
