PC Gone Mad: Criticising Migration Could Become Criminal Offence Under New Plan
2018-12-02
[Express.uk] A LEADING MEP has warned EU citizens they could be "incarcerated
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
" for criticising migration policies if a new United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
agreement is acted upon.

The United Nations Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration seeks to make immigration a universal human right. MEP Marcel de Graaff said: "I would like to say some words on the global compact on migration. On the 10th and 11th of December there will be an international congress in Marrakesh Morocco. The participating countries are set to sign this agreement and although this joint agreement is not binding it is still meant to be the legal framework on which the participating countries commit themselves to build new legislation.

"One basic element of this new agreement is the extension of the definition of hate speech.

"The agreement wants to criminalise migration speech. Criticism of migration will become a criminal offence.

"Media outlets that give room to criticism of migration can be shut down.

"The compact for migration is legalisation of mass migration.

“It is declaring migration as a human right so it will, in effect, become impossible to criticise Mrs Merkel’s welcome migrants politics without being at risk of being jailed for hate speech.”

Austria, Australia, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Israel, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland have already stated they will not sign the agreement.

One of the “guiding principles” of the document asks for a “whole-of-society approach” to promoting mass migration, including the role of the media.

Governments are asked to “promote independent, objective and quality reporting… and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants”.

#16  Didn’t Italy recently get a new, conservative government? That would be enough to explain the changed attitude, james. If the thing was passed by 193 UN members, that would be the General Assembly, none of whose works are binding in any way. This is the only reason Israel has remained safe despite the frequent votes condemning or demanding this or that from them.

#15  The article says it was passed by 193 UN members, except the USA. So Italy passed it before it rejected it? BTW, of the 11 who say they won't sign it, 9 are European.

#14  "Attending a Texas high tea,
I smelled something barbecued -- me! --
And was truly aghast
When they let off a blast
As I swung from the Liberty Tree.
I somehow escaped and ran free...
What beasts must the gentlemen be!"

#12  I have just found a real and compelling reason for Texas to invade NYC. Imagine 5 million Texans marching on NYC and destroying the UN and everyone inside:)

"Didya bring enough rope?"
"Yeap. We also brought some good Texas tar and a bunch of chicken feathers. Oh and a box of tea."
"What's the tea for?"
"Gonna show'em how to have a /real/ tea party."

#11  It cannot be a right FULL STOP.

And Ricardo quantifies just how expensive this entitlement will actually be.

Neo-Marxism is an enormous welfare state redistribution from workers to the super rich rent-seeking establishment.

#9  "Understanding flow patterns in a confined vortex chamber is crucial when investigating the mechanisms of liquid-solid separation. The angular velocity of fluid motion around the vertical axis is a dominant parameter for determining fluid flow patterns and particle trajectories in a rotational flow field. In this paper, an angular velocity formula, based on the angular-impulse momentum principle coupled with the Rankine vortex model, is derived under steady flow conditions. Comparison of predicted results using this formula to experimental data from a previous study indicates a general agreement. The derived formula can be used to estimate the angular velocity of the rotational flow field in vortex separators with tangential inlet and without internal components."

Bye Europe. It's been fun.

#7  The US should make a stand right here and say we will walk away from the UN if they make any moves towards silencing the right to free speech in member nations. Then let them move forward with their meeting or not and let the cards fall.

#6  Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration

Like most government titles, means exactly the opposite of what one might is supposed to think.

#5  America's leftists demand (with the aid the sedatist Christophobic self loathing racist media) the same here.

The 1st and 2nd amendment are there, for a fricking good reason.

#4  Not quite as blunt, but what the hell are we defending? Certainly not even our own borders from so far away. When the wall came down, we should have exited stage right.

Fuck you.

#2  You know what? Fuck you Europe. You fucking scumbags and the thousands of years and stupidity you all have unleashed on this Earth.

Just FUCK YOU

You have no morals and YOU HAVE NO VIRTUE.

Take it personally and to heart.

Take your Salaam up your ass this time . You are on your own.

#1  Countries that sign on to this monstrosity of an agreement have values that are anathema to US values and are not worth defending IMHO.
