🇬🇧 Starmer's turning the UK into an authoritarian dictatorship, where people are too scared to speak out
Its planned social media ban is being sold as child protection. Look closer and it affects every adult too.
To keep under-16s off X, TikTok, YouTube and the rest, everyone has to prove they're over 16. That means tying your ID to your accounts.
We've seen where this leads.
Under the existing Online Safety Act, sites like Imgur and several adult platforms simply blocked all UK users rather than handle the verification.
Civil liberties groups like the Open Rights Group are already warning about who holds that data and how it's protected.
Set that against a country with a track record of arresting people over online posts, and the worry writes itself.
When your name is attached to everything you say, you start watching what you say.
It's the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook, the same instinct that kept people quiet under every communist regime of the last century.
Starmer calls it protecting children. Funny how the protection always seems to involve knowing exactly who said what.
And the people who do speak out and stand up, like Tommy Robinson? He was arrested under the Terrorism Act so police could seize his devices and see who he's been communicating with.
The UK is slipping into tyranny, and the voices that can speak out will soon be silenced.

The clip is from a recent Fox Business interview (Feb 2026). Trump says he "made a mistake" in 2017 by picking Jerome Powell over Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair, due to advice from his Treasury Secretary. It's not about regretting Warsh's recent nomination—context shows he's praising Warsh now.
