UK Police Now ARRESTING People For Calling Them “Muppets”! (Jimmy Dore)

Viral clips are emerging from the UK showing people being arrested under public order laws for calling others — including police — “muppets,” a slang term meaning “foolish or incompetent.” Police claim the word causes “alarm and distress,” leading to arrests that Jimmy ridicules as absurd examples of Orwellian overreach.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this represents thought policing, government overreach, and attempts to control free speech across Western nations. Theyl joke about the irony of banning “muppet” while comparing UK policing to puppetry and highlighting the erosion of basic liberties.
