A British man in his 40s has been arrested and criminally charged for social media posts containing “anti-establishment rhetoric.”
Wayne O’Rourke had been added to a long list of arrests in the UK following the recent anti-mass migration riots following the stabbing of three young girls in Southport.
Lincolnshire Police said O’Rourke was arrested on Sunday in connection with “posts made from a social media account.”
“Nottingham Magistrates’ Court heard the posts were alleged to contain anti-Muslim and anti-establishment rhetoric,” reports the BBC.

In the UK, you can now be thrown in jail for “anti-establishment rhetoric.”
The report does not specify what the man posted on social media but said he “allegedly expressed support for the recent riots and offered advice on how to remain anonymous to his 90,000 followers.”
O’Rourke will appear at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday, facing charges of “publishing written material online to stir up racial hatred.”
Earlier this week, another Britsh man, 61, was jailed for 18 months for chanting “Who the f**k is Allah” and telling police, “You’re not English anymore” during a protest outside Downing Street.
Meanwhile, another man was jailed for two months merely for posting the words “coming to a town near you” alongside images of Muslim men on Facebook.
The British media is continuing to report on multiple charges being handed out to people who posted offensive content online, seemingly in an effort to act as a warning to others.
