Rightwing comedian Katie Hopkins was recently arrested in Britain for making a joke on a live Instagram comedy show. Apparently, she made fun of people with epilepsy; however, she herself has epilepsy, so she was essentially mocking herself.
British police arrested her for it anyway.
Here she is in August at Exeter Police Station after being "interviewed under caution," which is Britishspeak for "you must come down to the police station to be interrogated or else we will formally clap you in irons." She then talked more to Glenn Beck about the incident:
In another interview with American comedian Roseanne Barr, Hopkins said she had referred to herself as a "spaz":

As Hopkins mentioned, she doesn't repost these to Instagram or upload the videos, it's just live for those who join.
She says her speech is protected under Article 10 of the European Convention, though I'm not sure if I trust the Europeans with free speech anymore.
After appearing in a season of the British version of The Apprentice TV show in 2007, Hopkins has been fired for daring to have generic, common rightwing beliefs.
The Daily Mail printed an angry rant about Hopkins in 2024 when she went on tour. You can practically hear the hatred drip from their words:
And in 2021, she was deported from Australia - after deliberately breaching Covid lockdown rules.
She has compared African migrants crossing the Mediterranean to cockroaches and called for gunboats to deal with them.
...
So she tells jokes about how 'ginger babies are harder to love', that Israel's secret service Mossad is 'totally epic', along with a lot of unprintable things about Labour politicians, lesbians...
She got deported for ignoring Australia's Covid tyranny, thinks mass migration is an invasion that requires military intervention, makes ginger jokes, and pokes fun at leftwing politicians and the LGBT crowd?
Hopkins is awaiting charges from British authorities for her thoughtcrime.
