London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.
"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

It sounds like he is suppressing free speech in the USA under color of law, which is a violation of a number of federal and state civil statutes. (It’s also a crime.)
Some enterprising lawyer needs to sue him in rural Texas. And Montana. And Mississippi. And Alaska.
See what he thinks about such threats.

They allow the invaders to riot in their country and then they want to imprison anyone who complains about the riots.

My dear Brits - you reap what you sow. A few too many years of socialism. You allowed your socialist government to turn a once great city into Londonistan. What did that get you. And it should be obvious that living your lives through social media is not serving you well. Ever seen the movie, "The Social Dilemma"?
What good is your rioting going to do? Having voted yourselves into socialism was easy but very unwise. It's going to take a lot more than throwing rocks at the police in protest to get you out of socialism.
Meanwhile, my dear Brits, you best get Rowley under control. And quickly.

Beyond their love for socialism and monarchical tyranny, the Brits have compounded their collective insanity with two other societal mistakes:
1. their wholesale rejection of their Christian heritage, and its impact on their society and culture. To that extent, their destruction is home-grown.
2. their importation of muslims, without also requiring that they denounce islam.
A country simply cannot import a religion founded on, and wholly committed to, jihad (religious genocide), wholesale misogyny, dhimmitude, and taquiyya, and not reap what they have sown. To that extent, they have imported their own destruction.

Aye, 5; the brits failed twice to win. But didn't 1812 basically end in a tie (with us keeping the title to the land, since we were defending title-holders)? That would make England vs. USA on the battlefield more like 0-1-1 (not 0-2).

Oh, where to start.
First, there is the jurisdiction aspect to this. Guess this is what one world government will look like.
Second, why is this clown threatening posters instead of going after the platforms themselves?
Third, this is about the anti-immigration riots in Britain. Has anyone run footage of these riots on network or cable TV? Have there been many articles about this? Sometimes it's interesting to spot what the media is NOT TALKING ABOUT. I would guess there is already a media blackout going on in regard to anti-immigration riots.

Well, his statement is laughable on it's face, BUT, having said that I have no doubt a Biden or Harris administration would be more than happy to cooperate if he was going after someone the administration didn't like, like Elon Musk for example. Then it would get laughed out of a US court because Musk sure as heck wouldn't take it sitting down.

Good luck to the U.K. Police attempting to charge US Citizens in the USA with U.K. criminal offenses and extraditing them to the U.K. to stand trial for essentially expressing their US First Amendment rights under the US Constitution. I always thought that the Colonial Army fought a revolutionary war 250 years or so ago to stop that happening?

Simply unbelievable. He is implying that he can apply British law anywhere in the world. Does this apply for other countries? So, if Iran wants to have a citizen of another country who criticizes Islam on X or Facebook, they can be extradited to Iran to face Iranian "law". So Iran can extradite a British citizen for a remark criticizing their treatment of gays on social media and be tossed off a roof?

We have a constitution in this country, one you can actually go and read with a Bill of Rights. It is a cool thing and this four eyed pizza frying dingbat ought to petition his own government for one instead of going full Felix Dzerzhinsky on an American public that doesn't give a rat's behind how twisted his panties are. We haven't taken orders from those kidney eating limey SoBs in 250 years and are not about to start now unless Tim Walz gets elected which is about as likely as Taylor Swift managing to keep a boyfriend.

Over 250 years ago freedom loving Brits left their homeland and came here for a better life. All that is left there now are the ones who will scrape and bow and ask, sir, may I have another? They have become submissive to political correctness and now are living with the consequences of their apathy. While it pains me to watch them devolve into submission to inferior and violent overlords, they did this to themselves. Let’s not get so high and mighty, look what democrats and apathetic republicans have done to our beloved country. Were it not for the Grace of God, we would be in the same position. And quite frankly, if PDT does not win this election, we will be going down that same path.

So, we've devolved to be just like the "Colonies" right before our War for Independence from King George III, have we? In those days the Brit Army would simply arrest colonists (aka "subjects") placing them on "Prison Ships" awaiting charges in court. People would usually die from a host of diseases infesting those ship prisons before their charges could even be heard. It became part of their plan to do so. It's getting to be just as bad these days where "Woke" has become almost as powerful as the King's Army of the day. The question for all Americans will soon be, which Presidential candidate will allow extradition of American citizens to face the criminal "show trials" of the Globalist (read "woke") British Courts?
It would be a great question for the Presidential Debates, which will never be asked.

Does that mean is a US citizen comments on he corruption on Venezuela, then Muduro can extradite them?
This is like a Fatwa.that Iran does.Only a softer form.
If the current US government allows this to happen what next. I see very bad things in the US then.

One reason for my posting this is that I have to pass though this fascist little insect's country once or twice a year, with a stopover in London on my way to and from Texas. It's not inconceivable that should I post something on social media this deluded nebbish didn't like, I could possibly be kidnapped by the Britstapo while passing through London-Heathrow.

The Biden/Obama Justice Department and FBI would not hesitate to arrest an American citizen on American soil who posted a comment online, readable in the UK and offensive to the UK speech restrictions, and ship them off to England for prosecution and imprisonment there. Anyone who thinks otherwise has not been paying attention. And all the tough talk in these comments will mean nothing when a fully armed FBI/SWAT teams crashes through your front door at 3 AM and drags you into the street in your jammies. Enjoy your trip to England.
