Over the past decades, centuries even, the plan has unfolded to abolish freedom.

The prerequisite for freedom is both the ability and the inclination to think for ourselves. If we are unthinking automata, then the concept of freedom is irrelevant.

So in order to abolish freedom, we need to give up the "thinking" bit and become predisposed to doing as we are instructed. So we have been subjected to the notion that "experts" will tell us what to do, and will relieve us of the decidedly tricky need to think for ourselves.

Given the complexity and opacity that surrounds much of workings of the modern world, It's an attractive prospect in many ways, but only if the experts are never wrong or (worse) dishonest... the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. 

Those who control the State have tried very

Yes, it's complicated.

Clearly the result of the power struggle is still unclear.

If you can follow all this then congratulations! But it seems that the omens may not ultimately be propitious for Xi... there seem to be too many breaks with established custom and practice.

Cumbria Police have on the face of it tripped over the Data Protection Act in its dealings with Martin Geddes, who is seeking to audit the State's adherence to its own rules in its dealings with those whom it seeks to punish.

He christens this the "Absolute Zero Protocol" (which for the avoidance of doubt is not related to the Net Zero project, but is all about using every lawful remedy to expose unlawful conduct by the State).

"I have received an extraordinary and damning letter from Cumbria Constabulary — one that exposes them as engaging in overt political policing and unlawful retribution for public speech"

In this case he is using the provisions of the General Data Protection Act 2018 to obtain information that Cumbria Police hold on him in relation to his case. He therefore sent them a Data Subject Access Request as provided for under the Act.

None of this is verifiable for obvious reasons, but there is a convincing logic to its assertions... especially now that the need is for unity (compliance?) for the Commission's Ukraine support policies.

Watch this space.

I couldn't possibly comment.

It's always a good idea to listen to Neil Oliver - his ability to get to the nub of the matter and to clearly and concisely explain why his conclusion is reached is exemplary.

Likewise Michael Shellenbergerhas made his reputation as a journalist by doing his own thinking.

Perhaps "two-tier" Keir should take note...

The manifest evil of hate speech is being addressed by the EU via all available NGOs.

But maybe all is not entirely well in South Sudan.

"It’s not totally clear what Defy Hate Now has used all of this money for..."

Perish the though that some nefarious money-laundering might have been going on, but I'm sure that Defy Hate Now has made good use of the EU's largesse and there's nothing to worry about.

See what you think.

And thank goodness it's not our money, now that we have left the EU.

The Online Safety Act has been a long time coming (since at least 2021 since you ask).

In fact it was originally passed into law in 2023, but has now been subject to additional amendments:

"As of 17 March 2025, platforms have a legal duty to protect their users from illegal content online. Ofcom are actively enforcing these duties and have opened several enforcement programmes to monitor compliance"

"As of 25 July 2025, platforms have a legal duty to protect children online. Platforms are now required to use highly effective age assurance to prevent children from accessing pornography, or content which encourages self-harm, suicide or eating disorder content..." and much else besides.

So obviously, it's for the safety

A more relaxed discussion than may be usual for both of these gentlemen, so it makes a pleasant change from their more highly-charged episodes.

Antarctica has been mired in controversy for many years, ever since Amundsen beat Captain Scott to the South Pole... and more recently, since Admiral Byrd's ill-fated post-WW2 expedition with a significant naval force. As far as I know, nobody is suggesting

The signs are all around us, visible by everyone on the outside who cares to look, but invisible to those on the inside who do not care to look at stuff of which they disapprove.

It has become steadily apparent through the sterling efforts of those who do dare to look and don't like what they see, and are prepared to do what they can about it, that the whole edifice of our national institutions, and especially of our "national treasures", are rotting from the inside, are no longer fit for purpose, and will, failing some sort of magical reformation, shortly collapse with "consequences that no man may foresee".

Of course the world has seen these sorts of collapse before, but this time is different - its global scale dwarfs the precedents of recent centuries (according to "approved history" anyway, although Ukraine may disagree).

Since Reiner is still imprisoned, I am assuming that this was recorded over the telephone.

Is a collapse equivalent to the end of the Soviet Union now in train?

Is it unstoppable?

Eugippius is a German commentator, but all of Europe including the UK suffers from the same stultifying political blight, all caused by certain topics being off-limits for discussion.

We all know what they are because if our political classes continue to pursue them in the same way as now, we will all be in the dustbin of civilisation when the lights go out - and trying to claw our way out of that bin will be between impossible and impracticable, because those who lead us are burning the bridges back to sanity, ie: the power-stations that can be proven to power the grid effectively are being shuttered.

No amount of wishful thinking will ever enable the intermittent renewables to reliably do the job. Nuclear is a good power source that can power a grid - but then renewables would be unnecessary! Nuclear as a back-up for intermittent renewables simply turns the economics on its head, since we would be paying the whole cost of nuclear for marginal benefit.

"Westminster Must Fall"

The Spectator reports on the Dominic's presentation of a Pharos lecture at Oxford.

"And the Cabinet Office says we’ve got to pay them out. And it sends over these millions, and then it classifies it all in such a high level that no MPs know about it"

This is a full-frontal exposé of the way in which we are run by an unholy conspiracy between the Cabinet Office, the legal profession, the media/press, and seemingly innumerable "public" bodies that all now boast corporate identities on Dun and Bradstreet.

"For 20 years, there’s been a disastrous procurement process costing tens of billions, which, again, is kept super secret so that it’s not the subject of discussion in parliament, nor the subject of discussion in the media"

In what is widely seen as welcome U-Turn, there is to be a much-demanded national enquiry into grooming gangs.

Could there possibly be a better way of taking the heat off the government on this topic?

And given the extraordinary success of the UK Covid Enquiry in ignoring all the uncomfortable questions and sweeping the whole operation into the long grass of life-threatening tedium, who better to lead this new exercise in self-exculpation than Baroness Hallett?

In our topsy-turvy world where governments effectively blackmail social media platforms into censoring content that displeases the government, by the simple expedient of threatening business-terminating fines for permitting ill-defined and infinitely flexible "offences" such as "hate speech" "racism" and "offending" certain favoured sections of society defined as possessing "protected characteristics", it is unsurprising that some platforms respond by disconnecting users based within the territories of such governments.

They cannot risk the court costs or the fines. It's an unequal high-stakes game of chicken played against the social media companies by the infinitely-funded state.

Sadly, Bitchute pulled the plug on its UK customers a while ago, and now Gab has thrown in the towel. YouTube survives by actively censoring, defunding, and (allegedly) pulling devious tricks such as
