I can only imagine the storm that would emerge if the morning the UK ever attempted to arrest an American for self-expression inside or outside the USA. That is how you get some Democracy delivered.


Just the UK? Not, say, Iran? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_R._White_(U.S._veteran...

Or maybe China, for a US citizen who posted while on US soil, in a US website? https://www.reuters.com/world/exclusive-american-barred-leav...

Seems a little inconsistent, this delivery of Democracy.


> Just the UK?

Well not just the UK, but the comment you are replying to is about the UK.

> Seems a little inconsistent, this delivery of Democracy.

Yes, just the UK and other similar countries. We have less influence over China and Iran
