Slater Bridge, Little Langdale, Lake District, England. Where stone, water, and time meet.

A beautiful 17th-century packhorse bridge, once used by men and horses carrying slate through the valley. Built from local stone and resting partly upon a great natural boulder, it has stood here for centuries.

A little piece of old England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

How utterly depressing. Trafalgar Square is an iconic landmark which has, for generations, served as the go-to venue in the capital for political rallies - thereby demonstrating our commitment to open debate, freedom of expression and pluralism. Now the entire square is defiled by hideous d̶i̶v̶e̶r̶s̶i̶t̶y̶ security barriers. We shouldn't have to put up with this. (Video source: https://t.co/1UPQvAVqr1)

🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS:

Animal rights campaigner, Anneka Svenska, was visited at home by two police officers and told to accept a police record, attend an “online thinking” course, or face arrest following comments she made on social media about the incineration of beagles at a company that breeds the dogs for use in medical research.

The police alleged that she had committed a crime under the Online Safety Act.

Anneka refused to accept this “community resolution disposal”, which would have remained on her police record, and, after she engaged a lawyer, the case has now been dropped.

Section 179 of the Online Safety Act was introduced by the last Conservative Government and made it a crime, punishable by up to 51 weeks in prison, to knowingly spread false information likely to cause harm. While the Bill was going through Parliament, the FSU warned it might be weaponised in this way to silence legitimate political speech.

Anneka doesn’t believe the information she spread about the company was false. In fact, she has documentary evidence which she says substantiates her claims. Until the Online Safety Act was passed, the company unhappy about comments like this would have had to bring a defamation claim in the civil courts.

Now, it seems, hurty words online can quickly become a police matter – and it seems that companies are now making criminal complaints as part of their brand protection strategies.

If you are visited by the police for a speech matter, we’d urge you to take specialist legal advice before accepting any form of caution or submitting to a re-education course. Members of the Free Speech Union can ask for our help if they find themselves in a similar situation.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked memo reveals police were told NOT to arrest violent BLM rioters, even for assaulting officers or smashing statues, because it might “trigger” them.

Police also warned about "increased tensions when interacting with the BAME community".

Glad to read Cody Harper has had the charge of assaulting a police officer dropped by the CPS.

Thank goodness for X, without it, he would have been charged, and Birmingham Police would have got away with lying about it being a “fight.”

Shows how valuable this app is.

[Pete North @FUDdaily]

They have not scrapped digital ID at all. We already have a digital ID system and it will gradually expand in scope for every interaction with government until you can't function without it. It will keep happening by stealth without protest until one day we have full blown digital ID, nobody will ever remember life without it, and nobody serious will propose abolishing it.

BBC News London reported on the first prosecution of a man under a new amendment to the Public Order Act, banning "harassment motivated by a person's sex".

The story and conviction were spun to be about misogyny, but Ahmed Sheiki Ahmed said "Shut your mouth, white woman."

The BBC's TV segment and article didn't mention the racial epithet directed at paramedic Ella Johnson.

They sanitised the report of any anti-white implications, making the message a regime-safe lecture about "men" and violence against women.

It's obvious that Ahmed's derogatory and sexualised remarks towards Ella and her colleague were rooted in ethnic and cultural prejudices. Pretending otherwise is a promise to keep putting British women and girls at risk of abuse by men who never needed to be here.

No it did not rule any such thing. The case did not go anywhere near Strasbourg. The problem is, and always has been, degenerate British judges.

I'm honestly sick of people calling Ann Widdecombe a ‘bigot’ for her Christian beliefs about marriage, gender and homosexuality, while simply describing Muslim politicians who share the same views as ‘socially conservative’.

[Toby Young @toadmeister]

Earlier today a @Guardian journalist sent me this query:

Dear Toby Young,

I'm Aisha Down, a journalist at the Guardian. I'm getting in touch because we're planning to report that the US state department is considering a grant of $5m to Free Speech Union, your organisation, as part of a new grant-making scheme, and wanted to give you the chance to comment. We would appreciate receiving your comment by 14:30.

We are considering reporting the following:

- The grant to the FSU is part of a package to Maga aligned groups that former US officials have condemned as a misuse of public money to seek influence over foreign politics and interfere with democracy.

- It is rare for the US government to fund partisan political organisations in western countries.

- These grants are likely to pose a challenge to Andy Burnham, who has said he will be "very upfront" with Trump about any disagreements.

- These grants - including to your organisation - are "sole source" grants, meaning they are to be awarded without any competitive process. This is unusual for a highly regulated process which usually requires grantees to show they have a track record for handling funds and clear plans for the money.

- This lack of process has been criticised as "outrageous and absurd" by former US officials, and as "gross incompetence" and "horrible stewardship" of US taxpayer money.

- Your organisation does not appear to have a track record of handling grants of this amount.

- We describe your organisation as "a rallying point for “anti-woke” grievance" which "frequently allies itself with rightwing causes" and say that you, Toby Young, appeared on Rees-Mogg's GB news show earlier this month to warn about 'Soviet-style' censorship in the UK.

- The state department says that its grant to FSU will “support campaigns promoting free speech and countering digital overregulation across the UK, Europe and Australia”. The sole-source award is justified “due to FSU’s global network of free speech activists”.

We would like to fully and fairly reflect your point of view and look forward to your statement. Thank you,

I replied as follows:

It sounds like a pretty garbled story.

Free Speech Union International, which is the umbrella group that FSU UK, FSU Australia, FSU New Zealand, FSU Canada, FSU South Africa and FSU Brazil sit within, has expressed interest in applying for grant funding from the US State Department. This would be to promote the right to freedom of expression in those countries, which, far from being a partisan cause, is a universal human right. But it hasn't submitted a formal application and, consequently, has been awarded no grant from the State Department or any other branch of the US Government.

You've mischaracterised the FSUs, all of which are non-partisan organisations that defend people who get into trouble for exercising their right to feee speech regardless of their political views. The FSU UK, for instance, is currently paying for the legal defence of a protestor who's being prosecuted for holding up a sign saying "I support Palestine Action", as well as a protestor for wearing a t-shirt at a Unite the Kingdom rally for saying "Fuck Islam Christ is King". Yes, we helped Lucy Connolly appeal her sentence -- we thought a prison sentence of over two-and-a-half years for a single tweet was excessive -- but we also tweeted yesterday, condemning the arrest of Heather Herbert and offering our support. Yes, we came to the defence of Nigel Farage when he was debanked, but we've also offered to help the Canary in its recent debanking case. So to describe the FSU UK as a "rallying point for anti-woke grievance" is misleading. We are a rallying point for those who want to defend the right to freedom of expression.

Best,

Toby

The @Guardian then ran this story:
