It's true. The UK's Military, and its navy has been systematically hollowed out and degraded over decades. We have little offensive capability and indeed, little offensive intention.
Apparently we are 6th strongest of The Top 10 Military Powers after...
1: United States
2: Russia
3: China
4: India
5: South Korea

Not bad for a tiny bunch of islands and 70m population.

But our navy needs attention.

6 armed British police officers arrested a man named Lee yesterday at Manchester Airport as he returned to the UK from a vacation.

The arrest was made due to someone reporting that they were offended by a Facebook post Lee had made about immigration

examples please? But those that don't include "credible threats against individuals or officials, inciting violence, or engaging in stalking" ?

This Brit's post may not have been innocent either

That's easy
Some right wing law enforcement can't deal with Trump criticism on FB

sensational news report admits it can't confirm what dude posted "doesn't have access to his facebook account". Really bad journalism that includes gratuitous shots at Trump.

just some crap posted by his lawyer, we don't find out what was posted by dude. Cop says there was a threat in the facebook post and this is not disputed. Lawyer notices it's problematic the way cop went about it. Dumbass shouldn't have come out to talk to him.

OK this was a sheriff settling a grudge over facebook posts, claiming some BS reason. Charges were dropped, acc to this
https://www.facebook.com/theadvocatebr/posts/prosecutors-reject-charges-for-arden-wells-ponchatoula-political-candidate-arres/1315718230601245/ . I'll give you this one stinks but he wasn't arrested from what I can tell.

"Authorities allege he shared publicly available court records containing the home addresses of Amason and a deputy " sounds like he crossed the line. If arrest is not proper he must have a lousy lawyer

Personally I don't have much sympathy for people who go out of their way looking for trouble. Media loves it if they can drag Trump into it. Basically we are getting dragged in too, into sordid lives of other people. I highlighted it when not arrested as that's what we are talking about

that's a claim that was not shown to be true or not, with the statement that the news report admits it can't confirm what dude posted "doesn't have access to his facebook account"
