Michael Reiners (@MCRReiners) writes, in 'Why Britain must adopt the Freedom of Speech Bill (2026)':

"A party which suggests such a bill is not required accepts that they are complicit, or content, with continuing censorship & political punishment.

To be charitable, some do not understand how, or why, it is occurring in the first place.

Assuming the latter is true, I will break down core problems the British public face, and, how this bill remedies them."

Obviosly this stuff is fantastic PR. The Burnham admin is essentially running on pint-guzzling imagery alone.

Now, imagine this, but the budgets, policies, the legislative programme, was a radical assault on Britain's malaise rather than meagre tinkering.

Some ideas on that, in full bill form, in @ReinersProject:

Michael Reienrs (@MCRReiners) sets out a month-by-month plan for any ascendant government who wishes to meaningfully 'Restore Britain'; it includes:

1) A programme of Day-1 legislation to do so, ready drafted

2) The means of forcing it through parliament, using existing powers

3) Insulating it from lawfare, market chaos and subterfuge from the permanent state

The legislation, and 100 day plan, has been freely put to all parties on the right; the full legislation is freely available in @ReinersProject also.

So far, no party has produced a single bill for these key purposes, despite stating a desire to someday do so: https://t.co/lzhQrkqkPR

With so much talk of war, it is a perfect time to revisit my 2024 essay "England is Under Attack, From All Sides And Within" .

It directly diagnoses England's present problems at a constitutional level, and, explains why those who must live and work here will no longer willingly be sent to their deaths in its name.

There is a lesson to be learned about the manner in which invasions of privacy are policed in Britain. The ability to investigate and publish is unevenly distributed.

To sanctify a doxxing as beyond the reproach of the criminal law and justifiably in the public interest, you require a United Kingdom Press Card Authority (UKPCA) issued card or be a member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) – it is then, of course, journalism. Some of the greatest serial offenders when it comes to doxxing are protected by this privilege, Hope No Hate among them.

I wrote on the subject of this precise double standard by design – particularly as it applies here on X – in @ReinersProject here: https://t.co/pLGtWySNLr

Not only has the nature of warfare changed immensely, largely replacing human participation, but more importantly: Englishmen are not dying for a censorial reappropriative economic zone - seemingly designed to transfer the capital, opportunities and liberty of our domestic populace to any chap hailing from the third world who can be enticed in. A nation which has made absolutely no effort to cultivate a nationalist sense of duty, until it was appropriate to demand your blood.

Bulldog nonsense from Bleksley. It appears the only lesson a certain percentage boomers learned - growing up in the wake of the Great Wars’ shadow - was that encouraging young men to become a sort of lean mince product (presumably for repurposing in burgers) remains a wonderful and highly sensible idea.

[Michael Reiners @MCRReiners]

In the wake of the budget, my article "The Great Wage Squeeze" persists in its relevance. Now in @ReinersProject .

Some much needed perspective to those who believe a £100 subsidy on domestic heating costs, over a quarter, is meaningful change in Britain's economic fate.

'Stand Up To Racism', 'Hope Not Hate', The Guardian and the usual selection of Oxbridge activists hewn from the humanities departments will be running their campus playbook here – placard waving, threats to person, reputation and property designed create a disruption/safety risk. This is how they seek to force a heckler’s veto.

The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 (A1 of the amended Higher Education and Research Act 2017) requires colleges to take reasonably practicable steps to secure lawful speech and not deny premises based on a speaker’s (@nathancofnas) views. Safety concerns – like those activists seek to create – only justify refusal if specific and unmanageable.

I note that @OxUniRFMSoc have catalogued a few such threats on their page. Remember that the decolonise sympathetic rabble will want to create more such threats to justify a cancellation.

Oriel College (@OrielOxford) and @OxUniRFMSoc should hold the line.

Of course, a Freedom of Speech Bill that is worthy of the title would help in these situations – here's one we made earlier, it was published by @ASI: https://t.co/6ghszkTump

Two things have thoroughly fried the brains of every Englishman's conception of money.

1) The 2009 MPs expenses scandal

2) The sheer levels of relative poverty in Britain compared to the wider Anglosphere; a level of poverty in which MPs and senior civil servants make up the bulk of top 5% and still are obliged to live modest lives.

Britain's top 5% earners are earning US intern salaries. Also,If you did not already know that an MP's expenses are almost entirely the wages of their parliamentary and constituency staff, you are aware now.

An important lesson from @JMcMurdockMP

[Michael Reiners @MCRReiners]

Starmer was dangerous on fundamental liberties because he could recite the precise sections of legislation, which when deployed to their "full force", can suppress them entirely.

Burnham is dangerous because he does not, but intends to continue with that programme whilst roleplaying as the 6th member of Oasis.

Until the legislative tools of British censorship are repealed, censorship will continue. That situation will persist under a Conservative, Reform, Green or Restore government who do not enact a Freedom of Speech Bill containing the necessary repeals, and ideally, a positive right to contend with regulators and employers.

Here is one @prestonjbyrne, @legalstyleblog & I made earlier: https://t.co/6ghszkTump

Two words; Human Resources

Our most censorious (and indeed, censorial) are responsible for hiring & firing.

Britain is tied with the Netherlands for having the largest HR sectors in the world relative to the size of its workforce.

On Northern Town Halls, and Englishness in Architecture:

Bradford's town hall (by architects Lockwood and Mawson, 1869, image 1), built in the renaissance/Italianate style, was a civic symptom of Bradford's booming mechanised worsted spinning industry.

The bell tower is a deliberate reproduction of the Palazzo Vecchio in Firenze. The fact it still stands, given the rot of modern Bradford, is a marvel to the staying power of England's architecture. Architectural walking tours of these places will someday be the only service not outsourced to American AI.

The North – when doing town halls –is particularly good at capturing a blend of Italianate, gothic and domestic English Vernacular palatial building. In the warmer stones of dear England.

Image 2: Alfred Waterhouse's Manchester Town Hall, is another of these blends. Part resembling a Tudor Richmond Palace, half St Mark's in Venice. Multi-storeyed oriel windows of a Tudor mansion sit beside beside Italianate early gothic arches.

Image 3: Chester Town Hall, by William Henry Lynn, an Irishman who won the commission in 1864. This follows a similar approach, but more in the spirit of the guildhalls of the low countries in terms of its plan – Londoners passing through might see some similarities with the Natural History Museum's two-tone Italianate masonry.

Image 4: Halifax Town Hall – By Charles Barry & Co (completed in 1863) is something of an oddity insofar as it is executed in the sort of classical-by-way-of Sabastiano Serlio style, and in warm Ringby Sandstone, from nearby Swales Moor. Those familiar with the Tudor Burleigh house will recognise some features of its clocktower.

We can, and shall, build these imitation wonders again. And always keep in mind, that they were imitations of greater civilisations even at the time. Many of these Northern town halls have an aura of Pugin's parliament about them – consciously in the natively English perpendicular Gothic style. Now, we have ourselves to imitate once again.

If wouldn’t have happened if the Freedom of Speech Bill (2026) were law.

Doorstep interactions like this are symptom of the total uncertainty both the public and authorities have over where “lawful speech” ends and begins in Britain, thanks to its confused array of differing thresholds and legislation.

At present 1.2 million ‘recorded incidents’ involving speech are noted by police each year, inclusive of arrests and convictions. 1 in 50 people have experienced this, or worse. The manufacture of ‘Incidents’ like this will continue (and increase) indefinitely without widespread repeals listed below (from the Freedom of Speech Bill which we wrote, and released via @ASI). Until then, police (and. other free-to-use complaint based services, like professional regulators) will continue to be deployed as enforcers to inconvenience political and personal enemies over speech online which ought be untouchable. The complainants, and authorities, need to be de-fanged entirely.

Some of those seeing this interaction with @oldspeak_books have mentioned Non Crime Hate Incidents (NCHIs); these were officially scrapped the day we released the model Freedom of Speech Bill (2026) incidentally – that was the official story, naturally they have simply persisted under another name, and home visits by police remain a routine intimidation tactic in which access beyond PACE powers, confessions, and general abuse of their position of trust is attempted by police.

Never let them into your property under any circumstances when one of these fishing exercises occurs, and yes, do film the interaction in full. A guide on that in @ReinersProject, here: https://t.co/eVk5fk8KNc

Until we see the repeals listed below, the Englishman’s uncertainty on what he may say will be constantly leveraged against him.

Earning 41k in a public sector role which requires no prior training (not even a requirement to become registered nurse)

Somehow paying subsidised rent, so low it appears to be from the 1990s

(Please refer to the ONS wage compression chart on the right)

Britain has become so demographically altered that it is having the sub vs dub anime debate about English-speaking programming.

[Michael Reiners @MCRReiners]

Time to post my biannual “how artificially compressed are British wages”.

Rising minimum wage and a 50k+ p/a tax bracket that runs to 40% of earnings, and hasn’t adjusted for inflation. This form of artificial wage compression has turned everyone in Britain into low productivity tax cattle - you have zero incentive to become anything other here.

This is also a form of ambition and productivity compression.

The British state has functionally outlawed being an Englishman in public, framed as combatting anti social behaviour. Ironically, it almost guarantees a further withdrawal from social behaviour.

I note that there are no defences of:
-joie de vivre
-savoir faire

As such, we might now expect rehabilitative orders and sentences of up to 2 years for being outdoors, pint in hand, and attempting to have a chat with a stranger (being an Englishman).

You can all but guarantee these powers will be abused. On 4th October 2026 we saw abuse of similar in Gosport; Section 34 dispersal orders (created by the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014) gives the police and PCSOs the power to direct individuals to leave a designated area for up to 48 hours – designed for vagrants, rough sleepers and drunks/crackheads in public spaces. In Gosport, those powers were applied to the entirety of the area (population 82,000). Essentially giving police the power to move an entire town along, from their own residences.

We haven’t seen such an abuse of legislation beyond its intended purpose since the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 – designed to contain remote airport and hospital disease outbreaks – was used to place the entirety of Britain under house arrest (lockdown, of 2020).

[Michael Reiners @MCRReiners]

The 4Chan case demonstrates that all it requires is for one nation to robustly protect the freedom to speak; in this case the US. That is what is required for the internet to persist, and remain accessible by VPN to the rest of the world.

Domestic regulators such as Britain’s Ofcom, who have aspirations of destroying the internet, its contents and shooting their own population in the foot, are powerless to stop this.

We will see precisely the same overreach we saw here in the realm of AI – I would not be surprised if legislation was tabled to provide Ofcom specific powers in this realm before Burnham leaves office.

Enclosed, a House of Commons library research briefing from 2 weeks ago, contemplating precisely that fate, and stating it has been the plan since the Sunak government for the super-regulator to eventually take on this task: https://t.co/exiLvN1KNm

The Oblivion Act: A wide ‘Great Repeal Act’

It is a draft bill to force the permanant state to justify the laws it actually uses, and disposes en masse of the rest. A 'wide' approach to a 'Great Repeal Act', in which Parliament merely saves what law remains necessary, useful, and in the national interest.
