British Royal Marine Arrested for ‘Terrorism’ Over Criticizing DEI Policies

A British Royal Marine has been arrested for “terrorism” after criticizing diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) policies, warning that lowered training standards for female recruits could endanger lives. The elite commando’s public statements have sparked a controversial crackdown under the UK’s Terrorism Act.

The Marine, backed by up to 1,000 peers, co-signed a private letter to military leaders, claiming DEI policies risk creating a “weak and compromised” Royal Marines Corps. The letter, cited in reports, alleged that some women at the Commando Training Centre were being “artificially pushed through” with “unearned paper-passes,” undermining the unit’s rigor and readiness.

Police Scotland detained the soldier upon his return from a holiday, accusing him of terrorism-related offenses tied to his warnings. Initially, government officials dismissed the letter as the work of “Russian bots,” but an internal military inquiry was launched to investigate the involved Marines, intensifying debates over free speech and military standards.

Modernity.news reports: “They tell me that they deal with security leaks. And they essentially try and make what is a genuine issue look like it was just some uppity Marines that are just being sexist, being evil… It’s absurd because we wrote that in the survey, that we were concerned that… we will be painted as sexists. And that is exactly how they treated us. Telling me that I should be concerned for my career. Telling me that I should comply for the sake of myself and my family…”

“I ask them: ‘Am I being detained?’ They say: ‘No, you’re not being detained, but we’re holding you here under the Terrorism Act. And I’m just shaking my head in this instance. And I said: ‘Have I committed any acts of terrorism? Am I expected to commit any acts of terrorism?’ And they said: ‘No, we have you here because of your views…’”

The British government does not deny that the commando was flown to London for questioning; nor that he was detained by Police Scotland under counter-terrorism legislation.  Whitehall sources have suggested that Police Scotland was concerned he may be linked to “extreme far-Right politics.”  However, he was not charged, and continues to serve as a Royal Marine commando (for now).

Going public was a smart move for the soldier, as it has likely helped to prevent the government from burying him outright.  Britain under leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer has spiraled into an Orwellian nightmare as the government actively hunts down anyone that openly questions DEI initiatives and mass immigration policies.  Many have already gone to prison simply for posting criticism and memes on social media. 

Analysts within Britain have suggested that the country is on the verge of civil war.  The progressive politicians in power would be caught at a disadvantage if the public knew that elite soldiers in the military do not support leftist policies and might very well be on the side of populist reforms.
