Brickbat: Watch What You Say

Indian tax officials raided the offices of the BBC in New Delhi and Mumbai. The raids came weeks after the Indian government declared a BBC documentary on deadly 2002 riots in the state of Gujarat to be propaganda and used emergency powers to ban it from YouTube, Twitter, and other social media. In the documentary, then-British foreign secretary Jack Straw and others accuse current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was chief minister of Gujarat in 2002, of condoning violence against Muslims. The riots left more than 1,000 dead.

Perish the thought. The British people are free to say whatever they think.

Don't give the Democrats any ideas.
Use the IRS against ideological enemies or pressure social media to censor politically embarrassing content? Never!
Don't give Trump MORE ideas!

Who are the analogical Democrats here and are we not supposed to give them the idea to abuse the media to cover up their abuses or the idea to support violent riots against disfavored and/or minority social/religious/political groups?
Thing is, the documentary was never shown in India. It was shown on BBC in the UK. That's how out of line and crazy Modi is.
Indian officials gave the BBC the opportunity to instead head to Target, buy them a gift card and read off the numbers on the card.
Ha, excellent. "Otherwise we are sending police to your home in 24 hours".
If you're going to repress and censor, at least do it openly and honestly, without dissembling.
Looks like India passed the test.

Brown people take down whitey? Totes "legal" under the pending global DEI Constitution. See Article V: Intersectionality.
So the British gooberment has a problem when their office of propaganda is raided but have no problem with arresting British citizens for "thought crime".
How odd.
One would believe George Orwell was some sort of clairvoyant.
Don't despair, Tony Blair will keep the torches of freedom and liberty lit.
