Labour were always going to launche an atack on free speech as son as they settled into government because socalim has always been a quasi - religious movement dependent on the total obedience of its followers. If you want an illustration of how this kind of authoritarianism works juest read any history of medieval Europe and not how the Roman Catholic Church dominates all aspects of human society.
Those in authority now are as determined as the medieval priesthood to suppress criticism of the regiome because they are scared of reality and the truth. Authority (the Blob) always fails to understand the next generation are less sympathetic to the woke bollocks preached at them by politicians, media talking heads, academics and teachers than their recent predecessors so it is ineitable academia starts to drift a bit more towards the centre as their revenue stream dies up because more young people are seeking vocation qualifications rather than humanities or pseudo science degrees that equip them only for careers on burger fliping and deliveery driving.
The investigative journalist Matt Taibbi reported several months ago for the "UK Files"(youtune video), on political operatives in this country. His report exposed a coordinated censorship campaign by a group linked to the Labour Party of those on the right and the non - Labour left. This emerged from a cache of documents from a whistleblower related to the organisation, "Centre for Countering Digital Hate". Their CEO is called Imran Ahmed.
A summary of his findings:
- The group was originally a faction in the Labour party while Ahmed was working for them.
- It aggressively pressurises MSM and Social Media to censor posts and remove accounts.
- It was a part of a Labour party operation called "Labour Together".
- It began 2015/2017.
- It has a very broad definition of what is "hateful" - basically anything communicated by ideological and political opponents.
- It is very politically influential.
- It positions itself as an "expert" on misinformation.
- Key people in the organistaion were/are working both for Labour and CCDH.
- It modus operandi is to label anyone they disagree with is as "bigotted", "racist", etc., - you know the drill.

Politicians Are Offering A Trade, Safety For Freedom. But What Are We Really Trading Away? Big Tech tyranny is the biggest threat to democracy in our era Big Tech tyranny is the biggest threat to democracy in our era French Intellectual Jailed for Calling Mass Immigration an “Invasion” Facebook has for some time had a policy of removing text that the majority of people would consider racist. Now the social media site is now deleting and blocking comments that only one person at Facebook decides is "racist." The sinister, Orwellian reality of a society in which the expression of majority opinion is being turned into a crime has already been witnessed across Europe. Even more disturbing, social media operators such as Facebook and Twitter appear to be collaborating with governments in the suppression of free speech. Threats to free speech and other civil rights us ordinary punters fought and shed blood for are under threat, not from the extreme right but from the liberal left. The intellectually bankrupt lefties have realised their hundred year old arguments are never going to win the battle for hearts and minds and so have moved to the position in the political spectrum once occupied by Hitler and Stalin. Many people would never dream of questioning authority; others see their interests as being served by supporting the abuse of authority, they are the ones who call the questioners 'conspiracy theorists'. There can be no doubt, the right of citizens in the developed world to free speech, free access of information and freedom to express ideas is increasingly under threat as the power elites feel their grip being loosened by increasingly well informed and articulate working and midddle classes. Without any apparent sense of irony the advocates of big government and controlled media call themselves 'the left' as though their opponents are not bright enough to know that free speech is one of the foundations of classical liberalism and the suppression of free speech is a hallmark of tyrants. Until recently Universities were places where any ideas were welcome and any economic, social, or scientific theory, no matter how extreme would be given a fair hearing and debated openly. So where did it all start to go wrong? How did the idea that there is only one set of acceptable answers to society's problems (the 'pensée unique' to use a French phrase I am fond of, redolent of The Borg in Star Trek and much more demeaning than "Social Justice Warriors") and that those who challenge the orthodoxy should be silenced and prevented from broadcasting their ideas in print or verbally. Crackdown on Conspiracy Theories It is surprising in view of what we now know about the collaboration between internet technology corporations and government security agencies that many people still think og the internet as a bastion of freedom. This page shows how easy it is for governments and corporations to censor web content. Fortunately there are plenty of libertarians out there (we classical liberals have to call ourselves libertarian since the new, politically correct Stalinists hijacked the word liberal) who will help you find the stuff governments don't want you to see. It is surprising in view of what we now know about the collaboration between internet technology corporations and government security agencies that many people still think of the internet as a bastion of freedom. This page shows how easy it is for governments and corporations to censor web content (and helps you get around the censorship). Anyone in Germany appalled by the scenes we in New Media described however, will find it difficult to express their disgust online because it will be branded as hate speech by the Berlin political class. Major social media sites have said they would work to delete any German anti-migrant sentiments distributed on their networks within 24 hours after a removal request has been made. In fact the Jewish Quisling Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facistbook, has committed his organisation to working with governments to suppress all discussion that does not comply with the dictum of political correctness.

It's the age old confidence trick, politicians and the elites offter a straight choice between security of freedom and all the risks it entails, then amplify those risks with scaremongering propaganda. In the case of the COVID crisis it has worked so far, with enough people accepting the need for masks, lockdowns and killer vaccines to make The Great Reset seem feasible - but time is running out and people are waking up ...
This weeks main story, pushing Coronavirus aside at last, has been the attempt by Twitter to censor U.S. President, classifying his somewhat rabid tweets as misinformation. Whether you love or hate Trump or any other occupant of The White House, their utterings can never be dismissed as ‘misinformation’ because they represent what one of the most powerful people in the world is thinking.
University free speech society told free speech a 'red risk', external speakers must be vetted
Sheffield University’s recently formed Free Speech Society has been warned that free speech is a “red risk” and all external speakers at events it organises will have to be vetted by the University Thought Police squad and the topics they intend to talk about shown to be in line with ideas and opinions the titty - sucking babies who run the Student Union are not frightened by.

French intellectual Renaud Camus (above) has been conditionally sentenced to 2 months imprisonment for arguing that mass immigration in Europe represents an “invasion.” Summit.news reports: The writer, who is the author of Le Grand Remplacement (The Great Replacement), was charged with “public incitement to hate or violence on the basis of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion.”There Is No Freedom Without Transparency
The Democrat / Republican political puppets in the USA would be supported by European leaders including Prime Minister David Cameron in the UK, France's Francois Hollande and Germany's Angela Merkel who, even as I type, are preparing massive interventions in Libya and Iraq, both turned into chaotic and lawless failed states by previous US / European interventions

The Imporantance Of Free Speech And The Right To Offend
Our right to free speech is under threat from intolerant, authoritarian left wingers or 'progressives liberals' as these illiberal reactonaries like to style themselves. The 'Politically Correct Thought Police' as I have somtimes called them in acknowledgement of Geoge Orwell's novel '1984', are determined that in they egalitarian dystopia they dream of (but that fortunately could never be) nobody will be able to say or do anything that may offend s member of any racial, sexual or social minority. This kind of fascistic tyranny is justified by invoking politically correct ideals, but it is having a deeply damaging effect on human society and could eventually result in civil conflict in the developed nations.
The Imporantance Of Free speech And The Right To Offend
Free Speech being superseded by Sharia Law in Germany?
In Germany, where the open doors immigration policy insisted upon by Chancellor Merkel has flooded the country with Islamic fundamentalists, Christian activist Heidi Mund was recently charged with “agitation against the people” for speaking our on aspects of Muslim Sharia Law that are unacceptable in western societies (e.g. permitted wife beating, rape, forced marriage.Germany is sliding towards fascism as Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel outlaws free speech for Christians. All criticism of Islam and discussion of Muslim crimes is hate speech it seems, but the ranting of Islamic hate preachers as they call on Muslims to kill all infidels is acceptable rhetoric.
