As @sajidjavid announces he won’t be standing in next Gen Election, here’s the question we put to him just a few weeks ago

“I’d do the same again” re vac mandate. 40,000 care workers lost, NHS 7.1 mill backlog

Disgraceful. Apologise Compensate Reinstate Care Workers

They’d love us to all start fighting amongst each other but it’s the Gov & opposition that’s are to be held accountable for cost of lockdowns”

Govt wants to spin 'new' Online Safety Bill as 'protecting free speech'

It does anything but

In fact it would see state & Big Tech ever further combining

Elon Musk is exposing how politicians use Big Tech to censor info they don't like

Awful from Conservatives

#OnlineSafetyBill "a shadowy attempt to weaken encryption & encourage mass surveillance of private messaging, under the guise that this is about online safety"

David Davis MP rightly highlighting how removing encryption will make us less safe

Online Safety Bill is a disaster in the making

"Britain sleepwalking into censorship with Online Safety Bill & we’re running out of time to stop it"

"The revised Bill still incentivises Big Tech to turn its algorithms against legal speech"

Sunak pledged to defend free speech - & gives us this?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/01/britain-sleepwalking-censorship-running-time-stop/

The Online "Safety" Bill doesn't censor enough for The Labour Party

As well as surveilling all your messages, they even want to ban VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) too

The "Party of Working People" with Lucy Powell MP now all in on authoritarianism & surveillance as practiced in China, North Korea & Russia... and all in on outsourcing censorship of the little people to Big Business

Of course, genuinely free citizens wouldn't need 'workarounds' like VPNs in first place

We don't need MORE laws restricting protest or speech in UK

We have enough already!

Yet Govt wants to restrict us further with Policing Bill & Online "Safety" Bill

WHO declares legally binding global pandemic response

We have a Pandemic Preparedness Strategy already - but it was jettisoned to impose unnecessary damaging destructive lockdowns we’re all paying for ongoing

We won’t have ‘legally binding’ impositions by unelected technocrats to repeat @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet https://twitter.com/togetherdec/status/1600819389749555200?s=46&t=x5lavbLBlkVtVLEMlIEFqw

Govt & Big Tech actively working against free speech

Scrap Online Safety Bill

Largely overlooked this week but shocking in Spectator 👇

Hancock's account "shows how quickly suppression of genuine medical misinformation morphed into aggressive govt-driven campaign to smear & silence critics of C19 response"

"Aided by the Cabinet Office, the Department of Health harnessed the full power of the state to crush individuals and groups whose views were seen as a threat to public acceptance of official messages and policy."

"Such was the fear of ‘anti-vaxxers’ that the Cabinet Office used a team hitherto dedicated to tackling Isis propaganda to curb their influence."

"Anti-lockdown protests were quickly banned. When, in September 2020, the Cabinet Office tried to exempt demonstrations from the ‘rule of six’, Hancock enlisted Michael Gove to ‘kill it off’, arguing that marches would ‘undermine public confidence in social distancing’. Gove had no qualms about helping."

Free societies don't look like this 👇
https://spectator.co.uk/article/the-truth-about-matt-hancock/

"The case for a Central Bank Digital Currency, retail or wholesale, does not hold up to scrutiny.

"A wholesale CBDC offers few benefits & opens door for a dangerous retail CBDC, which risks financial instability and threatens consumer privacy."

Nothing is inevitable about Central Bank Digital Currencies (or indeed much else)

We, the public have the power - if we assert it, together
