624. LAST CALL: The British Are Coming For American Memesters
Manage episode 434203528 series 2942202
London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said in an interview that London police would extradite and jail Americans for online posts about riots in the UK. Apparently the redcoats are in a snit about false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event that left three girls dead and others wounded. Their suspect is someone who immigrated to the UK-- so for Merry Ol' England it's a crisis of national identity, politics, and of course, silencing anyone who speaks out against the crown. Unfortunately for them Americans have a long tradition of telling them where to go on such matters-- but how long is Eric Tansey safe?!
