Connie Shaw from the Free Speech Union has warned that the British police “do not understand the law” and they are “acting like the Stasi.”
The Stasi was also known as the “secret police” and was the agency of the German Democratic Republic of East Germany, which was one of the most hated and feared institutions of the communist government.
This comes as the Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was invited to US Congress to reveal the true desperate state that Britain is in, to which he likened to North Korea.
He told Congress that the UK is now an “awful authoritarian” state, he then asked, “At what point did we become North Korea?”
Testifying before Congress Farage raised grave concerns over British government’s restrictions on the freedom of speech and the freedom of expression.

Shaw told GB News that Farage was right to tell US Congress how dire the situation is in Britain, she added, “It’s very obvious that the police do not understand the law.”
Shaw said, “Organisations like Stonewall have corrupted the police to the point where even Mark Rowley has warned that there’s an issue with culture wars being policed.
“We need to go back to policing our streets, not our tweets, a phrase we used at the Free Speech Union which is now being used by Wes Streeting.
“Our police are acting like the Stasi. How many more cases do we have to see? How many times do we have to fight for compensation for people?”
She highlighted that there is a now an “avalanche” of evidence which strongly suggests that the freedom of speech is under attack.
Shaw said there is government acts which she believes is a damning attempt to silence uncensored opinions to which people have the right to express.
She told GB News, “We are doing everything we can to stop this avalanche — not just with the police, but with legislation this government is looking to pass.
“Whether it’s the new Islamophobia definition, the Prevent programme, the Online Safety Act, or the fact we had to threaten the Government with judicial review just to make them implement the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act.
“Days before the High Court was due to hear the case, Bridget Phillipson decided they were going to implement it, but it was still watered down.
“There is nothing this Government hasn’t done to try and stop free speech prospering in this country.”
