Elon Musk is right, freedom of speech in the UK is under attack
Elon Musk has captured headlines in the UK this week by taking our Prime Minister to task over his crackdown on free speech in the UK.
Just one month into our new Labour government, people are being arrested and jailed over retweeting or tweeting information surrounding the riots that we have seen. Our government even released a UK warning to X (formally Twitter) to, ‘Think before you post!’ shortly after a 55-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly spreading misinformation.
In addition to that, our Courts in Belfast said that people would be arrested and denied bail simply for being a ‘curious observer’ in the protests, even if you didn’t take part. The Judge said:
‘Anybody involving themselves in this type of behaviour, this type of disorder, be an active participant or a curious observer can expect to be, save for the most exceptional circumstances, remanded into custody, and this defendant is remanded into custody.’
This is essentially saying that you could be arrested and denied bail for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A woman in Leeds was also arrested for allegedly giving the police ice lollies at the riot to thank them.
Whilst people are getting arrested for tweets and retweets, ‘observing protests’, or bringing ice lollies, the two men who are alleged to have broken a female police officer’s nose in Manchester airport – are still on bail. The UK government is planning to release up to 40,000 prisoners, a number of whom are rather dangerous, to make space … space for those they are planning to arrest for thought crimes? It is a fair question.
In addition to this, the government has decided to axe the ‘Higher Education freedom of speech bill’ that was introduced by our previous Conservative government to protect free speech on campus. No doubt allowing and encouraging more cancellations and de-platforming at our universities.
This crackdown on free speech is frankly terrifying. The UK is fast descending into authoritarianism under Keir Jong-un’s leadership and we need people like myself, yourself and Elon Musk, to fight for free speech in the UK.
