LONDON — In a surprise move today, Elon Musk purchased the entirety of the United Kingdom in order to allow citizens to again have the freedom of speech they once enjoyed. "How much is it?" asked Musk in a post on X, after user 'Tom_Bomb_420' had posted that Musk should consider purchasing the former empire. Musk then followed up with a post of a thinking emoji, a sure sign that the billionaire was seriously weighing the pros and cons of purchasing the United Kingdom. Though several British politicians insisted that one could not simply purchase their country, Musk simply responded,...

It’s long been a known fact that the United Kingdom’s dysfunctional legal system likes to punish thought criminals. That’s already problematic for those who value individual freedoms, but why stop at those who speak inside the borders of the U.K.? In what might be the most deluded and grandiose threat yet made by a sitting British state official since riots have consumed the country over the past few weeks — which really is saying something, if you’ve been following — the chief of London’s Metropolitan Police warned those who Have Opinions™ on what’s happening in the U.K. and post them...

Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, died "after two years of living with cancer," Alphabet CEO Sunder Pichai wrote on X, adding that he was "unbelievably saddened by the loss." She was 56. "She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it's hard to imagine the world without her," Pichai continued. "She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact...

VIDEOThe United Kingdom has now gone full V For Vendetta. Listen to the London Met Police Chief Sir Mark Rowley expressing the desire to "throw the full force of the law at people" and jail those posting on social media platforms such as X for what he considers to be "hate speech." He sounds very much like Commander Lewis Prothero of V For Vendetta.Hmmm... And the name "Starmer" does sound eerily like "Sutler."

A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded in custody, even if they were only a “curious observer”. District Judge Francis Rafferty said that someone’s presence at a riot made them involved in the riot as he refused two bail applications. The judge spoke as four men appeared in Belfast magistrates’ court charged in relation to disorder in the city. Cameron Armstrong, 18, from Belfast, was charged with rioting in the Connswater area of east Belfast, which saw “violent disorder, petrol bombs, fireworks and different projectiles thrown at police and extensive damage caused to property”,...

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well. "We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News. Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at...

He does not rule out Elon Musk.

The United Kingdom’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, has threatened to extradite overseas social media users who have supported or spoken out on the anti-mass migration protests and riots gripping the country. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised draconian action against those protesting against the deadly stabbing of multiple young girls by a migration-background teenager in Southport, England last week. (snip) X owner and tech billionaire Elon Musk has also strongly criticized Prime Minister Starmer for two-tier policing of anti-mass migration demonstrators and Muslim counter-demonstrators, branding him “#TwoTierKier.”It remains unclear whether the British government will try to extradite...

UK authorities will round up and charge citizens who Retweet any material deemed as "inciting hatred"

A former detective who helped to police the notorious Brixton riots has accused Keir Starmer of taking a too "hardline approach" to policing the riots and said he needs to recognise there are law abiding members of the public with legitimate concerns. Former Met Police undercover detective Peter Bleksley said the Prime Minister has backed himself into a corner with a hard-line stance that is now being mimicked by his former force's leaders. He is one of several ex-officers to today share their views on the police and Government handling of the riots with Express.co.uk. One claimed Mr Starmer was...

A professor has won a multimillion dollar settlement after exposing retaliation he faced for challenging woke policies at a California community college. Matthew Garrett, a former history professor at Bakersfield College recently won a $2.4 million dollar settlement after being terminated from his teaching post for allegedly making “insulting,” “untrue” and “personal” comments about black students and professors during a committee meeting organized by the Kern Community College District (KCCD).

Another pro-life activist has been sentenced to time in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Sixty-eight-year-old Steven Lefemine of South Carolina was sentenced to 60 days in jail and was fined $1,000 after he was found guilty in March of blocking the entrance of a Planned Parenthood abortion facility on November 15, 2022. He will not be placed on probation. A video played during his trial showed Lefemine refusing to move unless the clinic workers agreed “not to kill babies today.” Though he was originally arrested by local law enforcement, convicted for trespassing by...

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent notice that this blog is now being formally “reviewed” by NewsGuard, a company that I just criticized in a prior Hill column as a threat to free speech. The questions from NewsGuard were revealing and concerning. Today, I have posted the response of NewsGuard’s co-founder Gordon Crovitz as well as my response to his arguments. Here are is the column: Recently, I wrote a Hill column criticizing NewsGuard, a rating operation being used to warn users, advertisers, educators and funders away from media outlets based on how it views the...

We are, of course, disappointed with today's decision - but not entirely surprised given the narrow parameters we were fighting within. (click above for Dr Naomi Wolf's witness statement - delivered outside the court as she was not allowed to deliver it orally in court. Plus, my statement and Mark's - which were given in support of specific grounds in the case.) This started as a battle between GB News and Ofcom. GB News sacrificed Mark whilst he was recovering from two heart attacks in an attempt to appease Ofcom. As noted in the court's decision, Ofcom was able to...

Joe Biden has put another pro-life American in prison for protesting abortion – this time putting a young mother in federal prison for more than three years for preaching outside an abortion center. Bevelyn Beatty Williams, a 33-year-old mom of a 2-year-old daughter, received a sentence this week of three years and give months in prison. Williams was charged with violating the FACE Act, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Williams faces an additional charge of violating the FACE Act through force, which carries up to 10 years. For the nearly three decades since FACE was...

Tommy Robinson was arrested in Kent under 'anti-terror laws', a day after organising a mass demonstration in London. The far-right activist was detained by police at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone and later released on bail. It comes after flag-waving protesters stormed Downing Street yesterday demanding his release. Chants of 'release Tommy now' and 'we want Tommy out, we want Tommy out' could be heard from protesters, as tourists filmed the men on their phones. Kent Police said on Sunday night that a man, 41, had been detained at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone under schedule 7 of the Terrorism...
