British Man Arrested, Computer Seized For Making Nelson Mandela Jokes


10 December 2013 - What happened to free speech in the UK? It’s gone along with all semblance of Western civilization. Neil Phillips, a British sandwich shop owner, was arrested on September 10, 2013 for making harmless jokes about Nelson Mandela online. Not only was he arrested, he was locked up for eight hours, had a DNA sample taken, and his computer seized for three weeks. Why was he arrested for something so ridiculous? He offended Liberal Democrat Councillor Tim Jones, because at the time Phillips made the jokes, Mandela had fallen ill. What happened to free speech in Britain?

Neil Phillips made some very harmless Nelson Mandela jokes some months ago, that were hardly offensive. They weren’t even his jokes. He copied and pasted them.

In one online post, the 44-year-old wrote: ‘My PC takes so long to shut down I’ve decided to call it Nelson Mandela.’

Another read: “Free Mandela – switch the power off.”

This was enough to have Phillips arrested in the politically correct hell hole that is Britain. Mr. Phillips insisted the Nelson Mandela jokes were not to be taken seriously.

When Margaret Thatcher died, people organized parties to celebrate her death. Naturally, many recalled her reaction to Mandela.

Thatcher described Nelson Mandela as a ‘terrorist.’ I was there. I saw her lips move. May she burn in the hellfires,” tweeted British MP George Galloway. Two hours earlier, he sent out the controversial tweet apparently referring to an Elvis Costello song, Tramp the dirt down.

Mr. Galloway didn’t get arrested for this. Margaret Thatcher was a Conservative, and firmly against communism. So it was fine for people to throw death parties for her, a former British Prime Minister.
