Under updated CPS guidance, prosecutors have been asked to consider how footage and images of the Unite the Kingdom event (and others) when shared online, could be viewed in terms of their wider impact and audience reach.

That means if you film or photograph it and upload it to social media, or SHARE footage you see online, the authorities may assess not only what appears in the background of your video or images, but also the wider context! including captions, hashtags, edits, and comments, when considering whether posts may fall within offences under the Public Order Act 1986 relating to stirring up racial or religious hatred.

Now even recording reality in public can be treated differently depending on how it is presented online.

Nothing dystopian about that, of course. It’s sanitised for you safety.

Remember … the process is the punishment.
Locked up without bail for a post that 400 people see, and given a court date in two years!
Hundreds of thousands in legal fees!
They don't have to convict you, just get you in the system.
