Trending Ep430 - Criticise The Government? They're Taking Notes

The UK government is keeping a list of people that question it.

So it's like an authoritarian Father Christmas.

Prime Minister believes Iran was behind RAF Fairford, whatever that was.

US moving from police state to prison state and anti-Semitism is on the rise in UK universities, says a charity whose funding depends on it finding anti-Semitism.

The government is keeping a list of people who question its policies.

Well, I hope you're taking notes then, whoever you are.

That's got to be a longer list than an NHS waiting list, that is.

Social media posts criticising government policy are being monitored and investigated...

Metro can reveal negative X and Reddit posts from unsuspecting Brits attacking the UK's anti-terror programme Prevent were added to a database of critical online comments.

George Orwell was just sort of scratching the surface, I fear.

Well, I don't fear, actually.

I don't fear.

Bring it on.

Now, they're only making a list, of course, because they're frightened.

They're frightened of the people on that list.

Otherwise, they wouldn't bother making it.

It's as simple as that.

And the reason they're frightened is because words are powerful.

Words plant seeds.

Seeds grow.

Movements grow.

And resistance grows.

And if they weren't scared of words, not only would they not be making lists, but you wouldn't have all the censorship everywhere.

This is the thing, right? The so-called elites in all these countries, it's not just the UK, they're kind of promoted as this all-powerful, we're just little worker bees, aren't we? We're just little plebs.

And they know better.
