At cheatcode in Bedford I had no idea about the bed and breakfast 30 day rule when you spend your bitcoin - I knew you couldn’t use it to claim a tax loss but it makes it much easier to spend and replace right?

I saw this too defo some good old fashioned media manipulation tbh due to reporting. It’s safe to say the world is going crazy not just the UK: Germany ∙ A journalist published a satirical meme of Germany’s interior minister holding a fake sign reading “I hate freedom of speech.” She reported him to the police, and he was prosecuted and given a seven-month suspended prison sentence.  ∙ In February 2026, Germany carried out coordinated nationwide raids over online hate speech posts, with law enforcement acting on approximately 140 investigations across all 16 federal states.  ∙ One man posted suggesting refugee children should play in electrical wires — fined 3,750 euros.  USA (more recent) ∙ Under the Trump administration, several foreign nationals were detained for one to two months after their visas were revoked over nonviolent online expression, including students posting about Gaza.  France ∙ The arrest of Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov on arrival in France — though that was framed around criminal law (child abuse material, organised crime) rather than speech directly. Canada ∙ A man was ordered to pay $10,000 after a Human Rights Tribunal ruled his Facebook posts, speeches, and emails about LGBTQ+ people constituted hate speech.  And back to the UK’s more absurd cases: ∙ A couple were arrested by six officers for criticising their daughter’s school headmaster selection process in a parents’ WhatsApp group.  ∙ An autistic 16-year-old girl was arrested for saying a police officer looked like her “lesbian nana” — her grandmother is actually lesbian.  The pattern across Western democracies is similar: the laws are broad, enforcement is inconsistent, and the cases that attract outrage tend to be the ones where the punishment seems wildly disproportionate to any actual harm caused.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
