After 16 years, my @YouTube channel (GrimmGreen) was terminated today with no real explanation.
I’ve built my content around harm reduction, helping adult smokers quit, and advocating for science-based policies.
This feels like a huge mistake. If you believe in THR, free speech, and the mission we’ve been on, please help me get YouTube’s attention.
@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a real human to review my case.
I’ve never promoted anything illegal. I’ve never targeted youth. I’ve worked tirelessly to be a responsible voice in the vaping and harm reduction space. But like many creators in this space, it seems I’ve been swept up in an overly aggressive moderation wave.
Genuinely shocking.
A Labour MP told me the ECHR is the reason we have trial by jury and freedom of speech and that it’s how we interpret British law.
They actually think our rights come from Strasbourg.
They don’t know that these are British principles.They don’t understand our laws or respect our history. Yet they legislate for us. Have a listen 👇
In mandatory digital ID, Liz Kendall has been handed another of Keir Starmer's steaming messes to clear up.
To get through her Statement in parliament today, she simply talked about something else. A digital 'key' (not ID). Better online services. A world in which nobody loses a library card again.
She could hardly bring herself to mention the PM's dodgy argument about stopping illegal migration. She couldn't own up to the reality that Labour will be excluding British people from the workplace if they don't sign up to a mandatory ID. (Don't worry, everyone, they're spending £9m on an 'inclusion' plan)
Labour is choosing to cover up its mistake by suggesting their mandatory ID plan is the only way to deliver better online government services - which it's not.
MP after MP - including even the stoogier Labour ones - stood up to pick holes in the government's plan. Answers from Liz there came none. Perhaps this can be one of those cack-handed government announcements that goes quietly into the night.
This person just left me a comment, and it's the most clear and concise explanation of nicotine vaping for tobacco harm reduction i've ever read. It's a masterpiece. I want to frame it.

It is heart breaking to watch the hard working tax payers of this country feel the enormous and seemingly ever increasing financial pressure of day to day living.
Change must be enacted.
All you who mix your own vape liquids in the UK, remember to register as a manufacturing business with the government from next year, won't you? #GoodGrief#WeAreGovernedByIdiots https://t.co/irsutmqAaJ
