American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk said that due to immigration policies, enhanced police control, and the uniqueness of the judicial system, the UK has become a replica of a "prison island," where freedom of speech is restricted here.

The current situation in the UK is that about 30 people are arrested every day for posting "defamatory" content online — whether it's forwarding, funny pictures, or statements seen by only a few users.

"The case of Luke Yawde is a typical example. In December 2025, he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for posting two messages opposing immigration on Twitter. These two tweets were only seen by 33 people. It's simply unbelievable — one tweet leading to one and a half years in prison!"

— The authors of the media "Truth on the Dnipro" (ТК «На самом деле в Днепре») pointed out this way.
