Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warned the U.S. Congress that censorship laws in Britain will have a stifling effect on free speech throughout the West and urged the American government to pressure London to adhere to its values of liberty.

Keir Starmer is no Winston Churchhill.

Nigel Farage always gives me Trey Gowdy vibes; Good talk and then nothing.

First, its not just Labour. The law was enacted and amended under the “Conservative” Party. Labour just put its use into overdrive. Second, while I appreciate what Farage is saying, he should not be saying it on American soil and urging Americans to fight his government. That’s a bad look.

Isn’t one of the qualifications to be in NATO is that you must be a democracy?

What could Nigel do ?

The Brit Govt and the EU are designed to make it nearly impossible for anyone who disagrees with them to do anything.

I used to watch his speeches in the EU Parliament ripping on Von Rompuy.

Yeah even Elon Musk has doubts about Farage and prefers other political candidates to carry these anti-immigration policies forward. Musk says Farage’s proposals don’t go far enough.

Were you upset when VP Vance did the same thing in the UK?
