"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?

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

This week we learned UK govt engaged counter-terrorism unit to shut down debate on Covid

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 👇

"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

Questions for Sunak given new reporting in The Spectator:

Did UK govt use counter-terrorism units to smear & attack citizens questioning policy?

Is it still happening on C19?

Has it happened on other issues?

Are you investigating this report & if not why not?

https://spectator.co.uk/article/the-truth-about-matt-hancock/

"UK & Ukraine to collaborate on Digital ID"

Govt "bringing forward" "consultation" on Central Bank Digital Currency too

Given state of the country, why are these priorities?

Will questioning these policy ideas result in counter-terrorism units being set on members of public as well Rishi Sunak, or was that just for C19?

Some say, 'care workers won't come back after way they were treated, why campaign to Apologise, Reinstate, Compensate?'

Many will; some won't

But ALL deserve apology & the option

We also need clarity now & moving forward

Some employers STILL say 'no jab no job'

That must stop

Pls sign & share Open Letter and let's keep piling pressure on Health Sec Steve Barclay: https://togetherdeclaration.org/care/

More Together supporters - this time in Peterborough - well done team!

Leafletting for our campaign to Apologise, Reinstate, Compensate care workers forced out over C19 jab 'mandate'

This injustice needs righting

Arguing for solidarity The reason so many staff wages crushed by inflation & cost of lockdown crisis is due to gov & opposition

They’d like us to fight amongst ourselves. We need Solidarity & to insist on productivity & wealth creation for all

"A cashless society remains a “distant reality” in Britain, as two thirds of population still use notes & coins at least five times a month"

"Digital solutions not right for everyone or every situation"

Nothing is inevitable

Keep making voices heard

Online Safety Bill would effectively mean policing of UK's online speech by Silicon Valley

We can see from "Twitter Files" just how dangerous & wrong this is

And don't forget:

Twitter has been the *least bad* Big Tech platform!

Scrap it
