"The UK is no longer a democracy!"

On 18 August 2024, Dutch political activist, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, tweeted thus:

"The day that David Spring (61) got sentenced to 18 months in jail, was the day UK citizens lost their freedom. The message their government is sending is clear:

'You don’t get to disagree with us. And if you do, we send you straight to jail.'

The UK is no longer a democracy."

Eva posted the above video alongside the tweet.
