"If you are using your microphone, you are more likely to be arrested under the #TerrorismAct",— warned a heroic officer of the #MetropolitanPolice in #London on Thursday.

@2legged tRumpSSreich laws? Can't document human right abuses at human right abuse protests?

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@decapitae Obviously, documenting human rights abuses would breach human rights. Just obviously.

And you look like somebody who might once have seen somebody who saw a microphone. So you're under arrest.

I smell bacon here. Do you smell bacon, @ariethefloof?

[ariethefloof@arcanekittens.xyz]

@2legged no, i do smell very stinky cops tho that need a shower before they quit

@2legged These corrupt idiots will use any excuse to call someone a terrorist.

Device has microphone? "must be a terrorist." (some British cop)
Doesn't like fascism? "must be a terrorist." (Trump)
Is transgender? "must be a terrorist." (Trump)
Is holding a blank piece of paper in protest? "must be a terrorist." (Putin)

I remember when these kinds of words meant something. I don't want to be defamed as the same maniacs who wants me dead, just for simply having a recording app on my phone.

@2legged I just realised that I don't need to manufacture an IKD. (improvised karaoke device)

I can just buy a pre-built one from a department store for about 150 dollars or less.

[2legged@mastodon.ie]

@alice_pea_3526 I fear that this discussion may lead us both to be arrested for conspiracy to commit karaoke terrorism.

@alice_pea_3526 In these times, I find myself returning a lot to Louis MacNeice's poem 'Prayer Before Birth'. I wish that after nearly 90 years, it wasn't so damned relevant.

@2legged wow the nation state is

uhm

[bangskij@climatejustice.social]

@2legged deranged, that's the word I was looking for. Demented. Unhinged. Crazy.

[normandunbar@mastodon.scot]

@bangskij @2legged Fucked up beyond any hope of redemption?

[kneoghau@mastodon.social]

@2legged I strongly hope we get to see this guy suing the police. A lawyer asking the officer if the microphone in the court room is also suspicion of terrorism? What about the microphone in their walkie talkies or personal mobile phone?

[disisdeguey@expressional.social]

@2legged We can laugh but thisis beyond ridiculous. I hope he sues that cop. #ukfascism
