Rogers, who has publicly attacked policies on hate speech and immigration by US allies and promoted far-right parties abroad, centred her speech on the notion of “Da Yookay” – a viral meme heavily associated with the online far right.
Speaking at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC), which was also addressed this week by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch, Rogers listed what she said were examples of the Britain that people saw online. “In ‘Da Yookay’, you can be remanded without bail for an inflammatory tweet, while a
psychopath who seizes a three-year-old and feeds him to crocodiles walks free.
“In ‘Da Yookay’, the moral sense of jurors won’t save you, because jury trials for speech crimes are abolished. In ‘Da Yookay’, a girl can escape from a rape gang, flag down a police constable and discover the cop is in league with the rapists.
“In ‘Da Yookay’ you get a free car for pretending to be disabled. In ‘Da Yookay’ cops defer to a murderer who calls his victim racist. Then they
handcuff you as you bleed to death if you’re white.”
