UK Man Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Memes, Saying Stabber Was Moslem<\/a><\/h1>\n

One of my British followers, Wayne O\u2019Rourke, who runs the @WayneGB88<\/a>\u00a0account was just sentenced to prison. Three years. For memes.<\/h2>\n

The judge decided that his humorous, snarky posts had stirred up racial hatred. The one post that got him was him urging people to protest in\u2026\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/fj5aBoWvEd<\/a><\/h2>\n

There are going to be so many people in prison in the UK for memes that they will be able to start their own gang.<\/h2>\n

Knowing the Brits, they will probably get Pepe tattoos and call themselves \u201cThe Kekistani Brotherhood.\u201d<\/h2>\n

(Is that funny? I can\u2019t really tell. Maybe I should have a few more drinks and try to rework that joke?)<\/h2>\n

BBC<\/a>:<\/h2>\n

A man who posted material on social media to stir up racial hatred during recent unrest across the UK has been jailed for three years.<\/h2>\n

Wayne O\u2019Rourke, who had more than 90,000 followers to his X account, posted misinformation about the killing of three young girls in Southport on 29 July and praised the burning of a car in Sunderland.<\/h2>\n

The 35-year-old, of Salix Approach, Lincoln, admitted publishing written material online to stir up racial hatred between 28 July and 8 August.<\/h2>\n
