Tell me last time someone who was anti any government was locked away for thier political views.

Iran to buy Su-35 fighter jets from Russia - Iranian broadcaster
Iran has reached a deal to buy advanced Su-35 fighter planes from Russia, Iranian state media said on Saturday, expanding a relationship that has seen Iranian-built drones used in Russia's war on Ukraine.www.reuters.com
In exchange for iran sending russia as much 100mm ammunition as it has, for Russia's t-55 tanks
Think about that, a country that claimed it has essentially unlimited ammunition through decades of preparations for war with the USA, is now begging iran for 100mm ammo so it can use the t-55 as mobile artillery because they've run out of 120, 125 and 155mm ammunition. They also have a lack of replacement barrels for their artillery

Come on pal. There's a difference if I for example call our PM a rubbish politician. But if I actively call for them to be harmed, i.e inciting violence or make a statement that actively encourages breaking a law there is a difference.
Again freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences of what I say.

We arrest a lot of people for really stupid things. I'd love if we had stronger free speech laws, but we don't. People get arrested for retweeting something that caused someone anxiety.
It's good people are calling out Russia, Putin is a gangster, but hold our government to the same standards if you actually value free speech.

This is just low brow nonsense.
Watched an interesting video about siberian gulags - the prisoners are driven there over 1000 miles of dirt track, if they die on the way they die.
No government is perfect and they do an awful lot of stupid things but anyone who’d draw any kind of parity between what the Russian government does to journalists and what happens here in some weird nonsensical whataboutary is either:Civil liberties groups criticise police over arrests of anti-monarchy protesters

A, trolling
B, paid shill
C, needs a rethink.
Edit: a little less harsh

You realise by arresting people for speech in the UK, we simply open ourselves up for appeals of hypocrisy from countries like Russia when ever we try and criticise them?
Of course Russia is worse, but if you want to convince the Russian population that Putin is bad, then we can't be seen to be arresting people for social media posts.
Freedom of Speech is not freedom from consequences.
So you believe someone who is arrested for speaking has free speech? In all seriousness that's your actual opinion?

Go live in America if you want free from consequences freedom of speech.
Are you an absolutist on this point?
That anyone should be able to say absolutely anything at all without any consequences whatsoever?

Lada class submarines..... I wonder if it comes with grab handles so the sailors can get out pull it along in full scuba gear when it breaks down at the bottom of the ocean?
No, not an absolutist. The bar should be very high though. I don't support overt racism or calling for Jews to be killed or anything ridiculous, along with obvious ones like fire in a crowded building etc. Sharing an edgy meme shouldn't mean getting a visit from the Police though. Russia isn't doing that ironically.
