The insane two-tier bias of Britain’s speech police

“In response to the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk earlier this month, British social-media influencer Charlotte Hayes posted a video on TikTok appearing to celebrate his death. Hayes, a 25-year-old from Folkestone, Kent, said that Kirk’s beliefs were ‘inherently violent’ and that, when it comes to conservatives, we should ‘kill them all’ – a line she repeated more than once. … As a result of her comments, she was questioned by Kent Police. However, they decided last week not to arrest her. Good. No one should be arrested for words they say online, unless there is clear evidence that they intended to incite real-world violence. Yet, while we can welcome the fact that Hayes will not be prosecuted, we should also recognise this as a clear-cut case of two-tier justice. In fact, it offers a perfect illustration of the authorities’ blatant political bias.” (09/25/25)
