☠️Britain Locked Up a 15 Year Old Over a Bunny Ears Meme☠️
Four cops, a DNA swab and a jail cell. The offense was roasting a Tory's shorts.
WALSALL, England
There are two kinds of countries in this world. The kind where you can call a politician a clown, and the kind where the clown can call the cops.
Britain has picked its lane.
On the morning of August 3, a Walsall schoolboy named Fraser woke up to four police officers at his door. Two patrol cars. For a teenager. Over Facebook posts.
His crimes against the Crown went like this. He photoshopped bunny ears onto Simon Bennett, the Conservative group leader on Wolverhampton City Council. He griped that Bennett rolled into a committee session in red shorts, a tee and trainers like he was headed to a cookout. He called him out for scrolling his phone while the public's business was on the table. And on the one day Bennett finally wore a suit, the boy said thank God he wasn't dressed like a rent boy that time.
That's it. That's the whole rap sheet.
Rent boy.
That is the insult police are hanging this on. They emailed his lawyers saying his comments could be considered a hate crime offence. A hate crime. For a jab so tame it would get booed off the stage at a middle school roast. Politicians hear worse from their own voters before breakfast, and most of them have earned every syllable.
For that, Fraser was searched on the street in front of his neighbors, hauled to the station, fingerprinted, swabbed for DNA, photographed for a mugshot and locked in a cell. Officers took his phone and laptop and tossed his bedroom.
Then they bailed him and banned him from attending council sessions, which is a strange punishment for a 15-year-old who apparently cared enough about local government to show up in the first place.
Imagine that, being so afraid of the people you rule that you ban the one kid coming to council meetings because he may say mean things about you.
Honestly, calling that baby back bitch a rent boy is kind of an insult to rent boys.
Nearly three months later, nobody has charged him with a damn thing.
And Bennett's defense? He says the police didn't arrest for no reason. Buddy. You wore shorts to a council meeting. The kid was the only adult in the room.
Here's what should scare the s**t out of anybody who has ever typed a mean comment, which is everybody.
This is not one rogue precinct. British police made more than 12,000 arrests in 2023 under two communications statutes, about 33 a day, and fewer than one in ten ended in a sentence.
That isn't law enforcement. That's a shakedown with a badge, where the process is the punishment.
There was a book along these lines, I think.
Those statutes target messages deemed grossly offensive. Grossly offensive to whom is anybody's guess, and that's exactly the problem.
When the standard is hurt feelings, the most thin skinned person in town decides what's illegal. In Wolverhampton, apparently, that's a grown man in red shorts.
And neither party gets to pretend its hands are clean. One of those laws passed under Thatcher's Tories in 1988. The other passed under Tony Blair's Labour government in 2003, while an MP named Andy Burnham sat in Parliament. Burnham now runs the whole show, and both laws are still sitting there, waiting for the next official with a bruised ego to file a complaint.
The Free Speech Union is backing Fraser and plans to sue for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment.
Good.
Sue them into oblivion.
A country that sends four officers after a teenager for a bunny ears meme isn't protecting anybody. It's protecting politicians from the one thing every politician deserves: getting roasted by the people who pay their salary.
If a 15 year old gets a cell for calling a councillor a rent boy, what would they do to you for what you said about your least favorite politician?
