Censorship in the UK
Big Brother is watching and punishing in the former cradle of free speech.
By JOHN LEAKE
It is no exaggeration to say that the United Kingdom is the cradle of free speech. It was precisely the English Common Law, Parliament, and publishing tradition going back to John Milton in the 17th century that engendered our tradition of free speech. The UK’s Parliament has served as a model institution for representative government throughout the world. Note that the word “Parliament” derives from the French parler—”to speak.” Note also that speaking and thinking are intertwined, because if you cannot speak something, you will also find it very difficult to think about it.
When did the British state decide to throw out this tradition? Nowadays the UK is a place in which Big Brother is Watching and severely punishing those who violate the state’s growing restricted speech code. In the following interview, the British comedian and author, Konstantin Kisin, paints a dire picture of the UK’s new restricted speech dictatorship.
The Uk has been taken over by the WEF. Say farewell to all freedoms Brits. Your lives are being destroyed one parliament bill at a time. I know, I live here.
I don't think it's any one event or tactic. Once you convince people they've been treated unkindly, then unfairly, it's a slippery slope. Years ago I remember a big deal made out of bullying in school. There was a lot of fear "for the children". Not to minimize something that should never be allowed, it was but a stepping stone to allowing $1000 shoplifting sprees to go unpunished as some kind of reparation for unfairness? Discrimination? A reason doesn't even matter any more.
It's time to see it for what it is - war against western values. Free speech. Free thought. Liberty. And property rights, including for one's own body. Piece by piece has been put into place over decades. I'm reminded of the game Go and am feeling increasingly encircled.
