So, today @tedtalks announced that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was their most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying.
Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

My child has missed 3 days of school since Sept.
1x injury
2x illness
He’s now exempt from all end of term rewards despite having enough house points, no sanctions and glowing reports from all teachers.
If this happened in a workplace, adults could sue for discrimination.

🚨 Everyone told me a small creator can't legally beat YouTube.
I proved them wrong. WON the case. Got the official decision.
🤯 Turns out the REAL impossible part isn't winning.
It's getting YouTube to acknowledge you WON.
This story proves YouTube's system is designed to crush the creator.
Here's what happened when I fought back: 👇
JUNE 2024: I get the email every creator dreads. My channel is demonetized for "reused content."
I fight back. I appeal, and luckily, get a human review.
A HUMAN at YouTube actually reviews my work. My editing timeline, my scripts, my voiceovers. They see it all because I sent them a 5-minute video of my whole creation process.
✅ Their verdict?
"This is original content. You follow all guidelines." Monetization restored.
A human saw my work. A human validated me. I was safe.
🛑 But I was wrong.
NOVEMBER 2024: My channel is TERMINATED.
🚫 The reason? "Spam, deceptive practices, and scams."
🤔 Wait... how? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time.
I appealed again. This time, it wasn't a human. It was an AI. Instant rejection. No explanation.
This is where most creators give up. But for me, it felt so unfair that I couldn't accept it.
As an EU citizen, I found legal options most creators don't know about.
⚖️ I took my case to ADROIT, an official EU legal dispute body. I wasn't just appealing to YouTube anymore. I was forcing them to defend their decision in a legal arena.
YouTube had every chance to defend themselves and show what I violated.
And on July 23, 2025, the decision arrived.
The verdict (see screenshot):
✅ "Complaint is UPHELD"
✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL"
✅ "YouTube failed to specify the violating content" and my channel should be reinstated.
🛑 YouTube terminated my channel, calling it "Spam, Deceptive & Scam."
🟢 The European Union Certified Dispute Body reviewed my content and found the OPPOSITE: my content is LEGIT.
HERE IS WHAT THE INDEPENDENT ADJUDICATOR FOUND (see screenshot):
1️⃣ I am Credible: "The Complainant has submitted a credible and detailed account of the content creation practices."
2️⃣ My Content is Original: "These include original scripting, lawful use of licensed media assets, and adherence to editorial standards."
3️⃣ I Followed the Rules: My content is "consistent with the platform's published guidelines."
THE REALITY:
🟢 A human legal expert reviewed my work and saw Original Content.
🛑 YouTube's bots saw "Spam."
‼️ Here's where it gets terrifying!
My channel is STILL terminated, even though YouTube's actions were against the law and I have the legal document to prove it.
Who is not being honest here?
🟢 Me, who opened my content to an independent auditor?
🚫 Or YouTube, who never provided a single piece of proof of my "violations"?
So I have:
✅ An independent legal body finding my content creation practices credible
✅ YouTube's own June 2024 human review finding full compliance of my content with the policies
✅ All my content confirmed to be legitimate by the dispute body
✅ A legal decision that YouTube violated the law
YouTube has:
❌ No specific evidence
❌ Contradictory past assessments
❌ Violated procedural law
YouTube's silence about my termination is 100% intentional.
➡️ Responding = admitting their AI was wrong and they broke the law.
➡️ Admitting = accountability.
➡️ Accountability = actually fixing things.
➡️ Easier to ignore one creator than fix a broken system.
❗️They're really hoping I shut up about it. But I'm not going anywhere.
🆘 I need your help:
🔄 RT this and tag @TeamYouTube
Please make them listen, so they can't pretend that nothing happened. It's time for answers!
If they can do this to me AFTER I won the decision, what chance does any creator have?

So after all these hours talking about AI, in these last five minutes I am going to talk about:
Horses.
Engines, steam engines, were invented in 1700.
And what followed was 200 years of steady improvement, with engines getting 20% better a decade.
For the first 120 years of that steady improvement, horses didn't notice at all.
Then, between 1930 and 1950, 90% of the horses in the US disappeared.
Progress in engines was steady. Equivalence to horses was sudden.
ALT Engine efficiency over time, showing steady improvement

Ok, first rule when I’m in power
Any MP who switches to another party has to immediately resign as an MP
Then stand for reelection in that same constituency under their new party against other candidates, if you feel that strongly about it give the public the choice

Charlie's Bar in Enniskillen have released their 2025 Christmas Ad.
The bar shot to fame in 2023 for their low budget film following an elderly man’s lonely walk through town before finding company in the pub. 6 mill people saw the 2023 clip.This year's ad is focusing on carers.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

You know when you wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep, because your brain has thought of the million things that you’ve got to do and it just keeps adding things to the list and making those things bigger and bigger, but it’s the middle of the night and you can’t do anything about them and you try to get back to sleep but you can’t. So you come on here and scroll down, looking for something to take your mind off all those things, but everything you see on here ‘for you’, most definitely isn’t for you when you can’t sleep. So I made a post that I’d like to see. My photo of the ‘beach’ at low tide in The Thames, almost underneath Tower Bridge, London. The steps I came down from the streets above are there, but down here, it feels like you’re in a different world. A simpler world. A moment where time stands still and you can relax and take in the scene. And when you’re relaxed, you can sleep again. At least for an hour or two more.

Watching the President receive the FIFA Peace Price, I'm struggling to think of a more obvious attempt at placating/grovelling to a tyrannical man-baby than by giving him an entirely made-up award that makes literally no sense whatsoever.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.
He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.
His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.
But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.
Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as - Sinko De Mayo.
WHAT??? You expected something educational from me?
You need a shot of Tequila!

Okay this, THIS IS GENUINELY INSANE
A channel I have had for 8 years uploading long form content I made myself, said I would be suspended
No big deal, YouTube made a mistake
Submitted the appeal and in 1 day they determined it was “reused content”
Nice try, but this one isn’t happening
I have seen far too many people get bullied by YouTube
Old me may have taken this but to have made original content for years and years then have this happen is absurd
This is a job for some people. People who make content cannot be fearful for their life that at any second they have can lose all their income without even a chance at talking to a real human.
This has to stop
My incentive for contnet creation is in monetization too, and if you keep punishing genuine creators, I don’t even know how anyone would use the platform given enough time
clearly, something is going on here because my entire Twitter feed has been full of people getting attempted YouTube partner program suspension.
This is already an issue in and of itself, but I figured as long as the appeal proved it true it would have no effect, but I was wrong
Please give this a like and retweet for awareness, so YouTube can make a statement about this
