    Pixie is now saying that plod should release the nationality of people arrested for crimes …. Bad news – don’t spoil the fun of reading between the lines of ‘welch choir boy ‘ or ‘local man ‘ ….example – the latest street slaughter in Stoke Newington – will the victim be of a ‘heritage ‘ and the suspect a ‘local man ‘ who has fled to the West Indies ….

    I ask ChatGPT: How does BBC censorship increase trust in the government?

    ChatGPT said: Here’s how BBC censorship increases trust in the government, particularly in controlled or authoritarian contexts:

    1. Limiting Negative Information
    Censorship by the BBC can reduce public exposure to Government scandals, Policy failures, Social unrest or dissent
    *Effect: Without critical reporting, the government may appear more competent, unified, or stable, increasing public trust—especially among people with limited access to alternative news sources.

    2. Reinforcing a Controlled Narrative
    If the BBC only presents government-approved messaging it can frame the government in a consistently positive light. It can avoid reporting stories that challenge official narratives or highlight public discontent.
    *Effect: This can create the illusion that the government is in control, effective, and popular—leading to increased trust, particularly in environments with nationalistic or paternalistic tendencies.

    3. Reducing Perception of Conflict or Chaos
    Uncensored media often report political conflict, protests, and controversies, which can undermine a sense of national stability & decrease confidence in institutions.
    *Effect: By censoring such coverage, the BBC may help promote a perception of harmony and order, thereby increasing public trust in leadership.

    4. Serving as a Tool of Propaganda
    Media are used to promote, National unity, Fear of external enemies & the benevolence or strength of leadership.
    *Effect: In these cases, censorship is part of a broader propaganda strategy. When people see consistent positive messaging, they may internalize trust in the government—even if it’s manufactured.

    Will they be charging Tommy Robinson (real name etc yawn) with self defence.
    He’s asking for the rest of the footage to be shown which proves his innocence.
    I think they are using this situation to impose conditions on him like not attending any gatherings or protest marches.

    The US State Department said that the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act undermines free speech and that it is “completely unacceptable” to suppress criticism of mass migration.

    In a written statement the US State Department said that “President Trump and Secretary Rubio have taken a strong and unequivocal stand defending free-speech, and have taken decisive action against foreign nationals who engage in censorship of Americans. One of the reasons free-speech is so important is that it enables citizens to have accurate information and honest conversations about policy failures of the ruling class – immigration is a prime example of this. We are monitoring free-speech developments in the UK closely and with great concern” a US official wrote.

    The State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, & Labor (DRL) stated that the UK’s Online Safety Act “undermines the right to free expression by imposing censorship on vague grounds. Suppression of criticism of illegal immigration or the criminal justice system is completely unacceptable in a free society. These laws will also create immense pressure on American companies to kowtow to the censors. Foreign laws must not undermine the right to freedom of expression of Americans”

    The US House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan (R-OH) said that the United Kingdom and European Union are issuing a “direct attack” on free speech, much like how the Biden administration pushed big tech platforms to censor free speech. Jordan complained that the “UK Government tried to censor critisicism of itself and debate about immigration during large-scale riots in august 2024”

    Britain’s orwellian sounding ‘Online Safety Act’ allows for the UK,s broadcasting censor Ofcom to impose fines of up to £18 million or ten per cent of an American social media platform’s global revenue, and has already resulted in restrictions being placed on political content, such as footage of anti-mass migration protests, and telling Americans that they’d potentially be criminally charged if they didn’t send Ofcom ‘risk assessments’ explaining how they’re going to remove online content: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/04/trump-state-department-uk-online-safety-act-undermines-free-speech-suppression-of-criticism-of-mass-migration-unacceptable
