And the UK does not have open borders. The UK has a regulated immigration system, which means that individuals from other countries need to meet specific criteria to enter, live, work, or study in the UK. If they manage to enter without the requirements, often at enormous and dangerous risk to themselves, they do not get rights to live permanently or work or study.
The UK introduced a points-based immigration system after leaving the European Union (EU) at the end of 2020. This system applies to both EU and non-EU citizens, meaning that people from EU countries no longer have the automatic right to live and work in the UK as they did before Brexit.
Under the points-based system, potential immigrants are assessed on various factors such as their skills, qualifications, job offers, and English language proficiency. The system is designed to attract skilled workers who can contribute to the UK economy. There are also separate visa categories for students, family members, and refugees.
Overall, while the UK has provisions for people to move there legally under specific circumstances, it does not have an "open borders" policy, which would allow unrestricted movement into the country.

That is why Free Speech is a recognised right in Britain, unlike North Korea. But like most rights it's not absolute. It's ironic because the right to free speech is protected under the ECHR, which I suspect, most people commenting on this video would like to get rid of. Here are the facts:
The right to free speech in Britain is primarily protected under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which was incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998.
Article 10 of the ECHR protects the right to freedom of expression. It states that everyone has the right to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authorities, regardless of frontiers. However, this right is subject to certain restrictions that are "prescribed by law" and are "necessary in a democratic society."
In practice, this means that while people in Britain have the right to express their opinions freely, there are legal limits. For example, speech that incites violence, hate speech, or speech that defames someone can be subject to legal action.
The UK also has specific laws that regulate certain types of speech, such as the Public Order Act 1986, which addresses hate speech and speech that can cause harassment, alarm, or distress. Additionally, defamation laws in the UK allow individuals to take legal action against false statements that harm their reputation.
So, while free speech is a right in the UK, it operates within a framework of legal restrictions designed to balance it against other rights and societal interests.

One swallow doesnt make a summer. Showing pictures of rioting is not illegal in principle in the UK. However, there are several important considerations to be aware of:
1. Content Restrictions: If the images contain graphic violence or could incite further violence or hatred, they might be subject to content restrictions under UK law. The publication of such content could potentially violate laws related to public order, incitement to violence, or hate speech.
2. Privacy Concerns: If the images identify individuals, particularly minors, without their consent, this could raise issues under privacy laws. The UK has strict privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Human Rights Act, which protect individuals' privacy rights.
3. Court Orders: In some cases, courts may issue specific orders restricting the publication of certain images or information related to ongoing criminal investigations or trials. Violating such orders can result in legal consequences.
4. Broadcasting Regulations: Media outlets are subject to broadcasting regulations that govern what can be shown on television and online. These rules, enforced by Ofcom, ensure that content is not harmful or offensive and does not breach broadcasting standards.
As long as the images are shared responsibly, without violating these considerations, it is generally legal to show pictures of riots in the UK. However, it's always important to consider the potential impact of sharing such images and whether they could contribute to harm or further unrest.
