Over the past five years, 62,199 people have been arrested for speech-related offences.
Of those, 18,520 were charged and 12,292 convicted. That means more than 12,000 people received criminal records for speech offences in just five years.
This is not normal in a free society. Britain is rapidly becoming the North Korea of the North Sea.
