British calls to jail war critics and bring back conscription ---Senior British political voices are openly floating jailing anti-war critics and reviving the draft, a dark turn for free speech in the UK.

• A British commentator argued the country should lock up "pro-Russian voices" and people who say there is no threat.
• The same argument calls for looking at conscription — sending other people's children to fight.
• Supporters point to suspending habeas corpus during the Napoleonic Wars and the Defence of the Realm Act as precedent.
• The real precedent is World War II, when Britain imprisoned opposition figures — including Oswald Mosley, a decorated First World War veteran — and their wives, who had done nothing but be married to them.
• The people urging war and mass imprisonment are not the ones who would do the fighting.

Outlook: Expect more pressure in Britain to criminalize dissent on Russia as war talk escalates across Europe.
