As much as I hate the term "Orwellian", what happened to Richard Medhurst is positively Orwellian.

Western governments are shedding any illusion of caring about freedom. And then they wonder why Fascism has been able to rise all over the West.

Add the censorship, and gaslighting the population with Newspeaky "war is peace" gibberish, not to mention endless war (this government has endangered this country with its stupid and reckless involvement in Ukraine as well as the ME - why isn't there an emergency debate?) and we are certainly in "Orwellian" times. Meanwhile the impoverished are set for an even tougher winter.

It’s happening in the UK. It’s coming here, folks!

Richard Medhurst is one of the few journalists who's not afraid to criticize Britains foreign policy and he joins a long list of truth tellers. May God keep him safe.

I think ex- ambassador Craig Murray is one who continues to criticise the UK government. He also supported Assange and reported on his trials and was actually jailed by a Scottish Court for the crime of Jigsaw Identification after his reporting of the Defence case in the Alex Salmond trial was deemed to contain material that might identify the women who accused him of sexual crime. This despite the fact that the Jury acquitted him and at least one of Salmond's accusers committed perjury as it was proved that she was not in the building, an official residence, at the time the alleged offence took place. Murray served 4 months of an 8 monthe sentence in Saughton Jail. Edinburgh, though he was in poor health and far from young and continues to be harassed, searched, detained etc on returning to the UK after travelling abroad.

Don’t forget British citizen Graham Phillips whose honest reporting from Russian Donbass has provoked the UK government to personally sanction him and steal all his property.

Why doesn't King Charles or Prince William speak out? Isn't Medhurst one of their subjects?

They don’t care a jot about the public. They serve the Davos lot, even attended a conference and spouted off WEF agenda excerpts, fully supporting it! WEF agenda wants us to be silenced, they want us to be beige, unquestioning nitwits with no identities of our own! He may have King as a label, he’s fully OWNED

You would think that a guy who owns so much land in the country would have a little more common sense, and also basic knowledge of the way that carbon acts on the environment.

He doesn’t care, guaranteed he received a kick back for them parading him out like a sock puppet 😂 he’s not a king, he’s a pawn like the rest of us (except with massive privilege).

He’s only “king” because they allow him to be, so he’ll do whatever they say. Most stupid mistake that family made, allowing Rothschild infiltration

Sorry to LOL but, the British Monarchy lost control of the parliament after the civil war in 1688.

That leaves the Constitutional Monarchy vulnerable to overthrow by Harry the Red. Who will be laughing then?

When l lived in England l just remember the media saying that QEII dreaded her weekly audience with the Iron Lady. It made me realize how pointless the Royals were.

I heard the same. You would think they would be smart enough to realize an opening has been made for them to regain relevance. But, there’s been a lot of inbreeding and they are basically fritzes from Saxe-Coburg. I do like Kate Middleton, though. She shows class.

I was quite sad when QEII passed but, hoped she wouldn't give in to Charles' demand to crown Camilla Queen. Uncle David/Edward had to abdicate to be with twice divorced Wallis Simpson. Princess Margaret was made to wait until 25 to marry her true love, Peter Townsend.

Canada no longer needs and can no longer afford Charles, William or Harry or a Governor General that gets 362K a year, has a clothing allowance of $88K, lives rent free in a 175 room, fully staffed house on 79 acres of parkland with a $1M shed AND gets a lifetime pension and expense account that extends six months beyond her death.

And George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

They did the same to the Great Vanessa Beeley and to Kit Kattenberg. Now it's happening to Sara Wilkinson. For decades, these fake democracies used to call us in Africa dictatorships yet they were, even more than us. At least were were never coerced during CONVID and have no Sudden Death or Myocarditis except for South Africa who took most vaccines. The rest of Africa didn't even have strict lockdown and were are glad we didn't buy ALL vaccines and never took any!

Oh no!!!!!!!! So wrong! Israel is running the collective west into a Hellish nightmare of satanic control. The Middle East is their playground of humanitarian disaster and will all go down like Gaza.
