[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

📢 A new Free Speech Bill has been proposed.

Barrister Jon Holbrook, a member of the Free Speech Union's Legal Advisory Council, has published an important report for the Prosperity Institute charting the decline of free speech in Britain and setting out a five-point Free Speech Bill to reverse it.

Jon argues that the expansion of vaguely defined speech offences — using terms such as "grossly offensive", "abusive", "insulting" and "stirring up" — has handed governments sweeping powers to decide what people can and cannot say.

His proposed Bill would repeal Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, abolish laws based on the concept of non-violent "hate speech", and restore the principle that free speech protects not only popular opinions, but also those that are contentious, provocative and unwelcome.

As Lord Frost writes in the foreword: "The chilling effect falls on all of us."

This is a welcome intervention as we fight to defend our right to freedom of speech in the UK.

The message is clear: if you have any mobile wealth at all leave the UK and do it yesterday. Anti wealth and anti success attitudes and socialist tax policies aren’t going away. The sooner you all face reality the better.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

Say you have £100M net worth. The proposed wealth tax is 2% on assets over £10M… so you’d owe £1.8M every year in additional taxes.

To pay the additional £1.8M each year (2% on £90M) you would need to pay a £4M dividend. Of that £4M dividend, you get zero ALL of it is tax (see calculation below).

Given that most scalable assets pay less than 4% yield as it is, there is no point in owning UK assets. Especially because you’d also be paying tax to buy the assets, to employ people to run the assets and you’d be losing CGT or IHT if you sell them or die.

All serious investment would dry up and the economy becomes a backwater, stagnant economic wasteland rapidly.

@YouGov Gee, pioneering polling, guys. I bet the outcome wasn't predictable at all.

JUST IN: U.S. employers have reportedly been told to fire hundreds of thousands of immigrant workers as their temporary legal status & work permits expire.

This is beyond idiotic. Real life isn’t a movie. You don’t shoot at tires. We can have legitimate arguments over underlying facts. But if someone is using a vehicle to try to hurt someone then law enforcement should use whatever force is necessary to stop them.

Governance by old women is the worst form of government ever invented and it’s not even close.

[Clothesline @Wardrobe55]

I wonder what value we receive in return for providing one role with such a salary.

A median average salaried employee would need to work over 12 years in order to reach £500k.

I would wager the 'product' returned from that role isn't worth half of what is being paid.

Obvious political persecution is obvious.

These people are a threat to absolutely no-one, yet are being dragged through the ringer by laws the public would have assumed were created for targets intent on mass murder.

[The Mercian @TheMercianNews]

🚨NEW: Restore Britain member and YouTuber Craig Houston has had his phone and computer seized by police at Edinburgh Airport seeking to establish who he has been communicating with for broadcasting videos of "anti-immigration hatred" in Scotland.

Senior officers are looking for potential connections with groups connected to terrorist activity in Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Houston was not arrested or charged with any offence, but the powers used were directly related to suspected terrorism offences.

Apparently you can't express negativity towards the mass migration of people that have been forced upon us undemocratically. Amazing.
