When Kier Starmer was asked which he preferred , 'Westminster or Davos" he chose Davos! That should have been a huge re flag to this nation. How many news outlets reported or commented on its consequences?

This is scary something I never thought I would live to see .Dictators do this and I think our current government is full of them. Non crime hate incidents if I didn’t live here I would think this was a nasty joke. People will be persuaded to snitch on friends and neighbour and family because it will protect them. Heaven help us all 😢🤬

Thanks Winston. I find it incomprehensible that such an old democracy which supposedly has freedom of expression at its core, is losing its way so easily. We can no longer sneer at authoritarian regimes and say ‘that could never happen here’.

… if God hadn't allowed the seismic shift in Washington D.C., THIS WAS OUR FATE!!!

Make no mistake -

If The Faithful, had ignored the sorry state of the last (mal)administration, if we had neglected to fast and pray fervently for God Almighty's Mercy on our nation, we'd be well on our way to utter destruction…

🔸️Psalm 9:17 KJV

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

The remedy 👇

🔸️2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Also

🔸️Jeremiah 18:7-10 KJV

7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

🔸️Galatians 6:7 KJV

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

🔸️Hebrews 10:31 KJV

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I think the United States should offer to relieve the U.K. Prisons System of its responsibility for the incarceration of Lucy Connolly and allow her to DEFECT to America where she can take her place among other Conservative peoples. Your Government is succeeding in destroying the remnants of Free Speech and regressing away from being any semblance of a democracy.

I find it astonishing that I now have to pick and choose my words with care in order not to offend the wrong group. That I have to do so in my country (not so sure it is any longer) the United Kingdom, is unbelievable Subjugation of expression will indeed one of two ways, neither of which is what any of us would choose.

Huh! How about that! Great Britain is a censor’s paradise. I had hoped to visit England, the land of my Puritan ancestors, but if that’s the way it’s going to be, I shall cross it off my bucket list.

Thank you for this rigorous and extremely helpful, if slightly depressing, article. We all must do all we can to resist government censorship.
