1. I don't like Cenk Uyger and think he is a grifter

His nephew I'm not familiar with his content as Twitch isn't a platform I use but his allies on Youtube say he repeatedly condemns antisemitism especially if it is coming from the right wing and separates that out with his criticism of the government of Israel.

As far as UK politics I follow Novara Media and Owen Jones and agree with what Owen Jones says here. I also think I figured out how to share a Bluesky post on DU.

The UK ban on Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur is deeply disturbing for many reasons.

One: another assault on free speech, and specifically pro-Palestinian speech.

The assault on pro-Palestinian speech is the biggest assault on free speech in the West since McCarthyism 7 decades ago.

If Reform forms a government - with or without the Tories - what do you think will happen?

They will take all the authoritarian laws and precedents and take them to their obvious conclusion.

It's obvious where we are heading, and we need to start stating it out loud.
