Across the country, the police are becoming increasingly zealous in their policing of speech, particularly online. Yet again, we have a clear example of the dire state of free speech in this country. In the past five years, 62,199 people have been arrested for speech-related offences, including for posts online. This is not right in a free and democratic society. Vexatious complaints to the police from activists, accusing people of spreading or stirring up hatred, are becoming far too frequent.

🚨 A 15-year-old Reform UK activist was arrested after a handful of Facebook posts upset a Conservative councillor. The previous day, Fraser had been in Clacton campaigning for Nigel Farage in the by-election. Then, four West Midlands Police officers arrived at his home in two police cars and woke him up. In one post, Fraser criticised the councillor for wearing shorts and a T-shirt to a council meeting. In another, referring to an occasion when the councillor wore a suit, he said he was thankfully not dressed like a “rent boy”. Fraser was arrested in front of his neighbours, searched and taken to a local police station. There, officers took his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot, and even removed his shoes. He was left alone in a “freezing cold cell”, without his mother, waiting for a duty solicitor. Meanwhile, two officers searched his bedroom at home. In an email to Fraser’s lawyers on 8 September, West Midlands Police wrote: “It is alleged that your client’s comments could be considered a hate crime offence…” At the heart of our democracy is the right to criticise and mock our political leaders. It is one of the things that separates us from countries like North Korea. Two months on, West Midlands Police has still not charged Fraser with any crime. The Free Speech Union has taken up his case and found him a lawyer. Fraser is now considering suing the force for wrongful arrest. Read more below 👇

Are people really convinced Anglo Saxonism is the anchor point for the English identity to legitimize their ‘indigenous status’?…oh dear.

Sorry Carl but this is where Anglo Saxonism fails and fails badly. It is to anchor and incorrectly center one’s identity firmly on the immigrants who displaced (brutally at times) the indigenous peoples of Britain and drove them into the west (The Welsh, Cornish, Cumbrians and Bretons) and also across to Brittany. Therefore it is also highly inaccurate to say the English include the peoples of Cornwall and Cumbria. Granted there is Anglo Saxon DNA in them but at a much lower and certainly not predominant level that you will find more readily in the traditional Anglo Saxon heartlands of what is now called England…but there is also trace ancient Anatolian DNA in most of the Brythonic peoples (yes I just said that…look up the DNA of the early European farmers) It is also a civic nationalist position you are taking…because the conquest by the Anglo Saxonism immigrants against the native peoples of Britain (who incidentally are still in Britain in the west and still speak the ancient tongue of this land) and then claiming to be indigenous via this anchor simply proves that this is a civic nationalist claim. Claim by conquest 1600 years ago is not indigenous it is still claim by a non-indigenous people…it’s just like a the descendants of Afghans in 1600 living in England in years time saying that the peoples of England are Afghans and then claiming indigenous status via their conquest lineage. So here we are…and this is the part that really is perverse..you have effectively created a scenario where the Cornish and Cumbrians have to accept a civic nationalist position in order to be accepted as English because their DNA and history certainly doesn’t make them live up to the qualifiers you have stipulated. The anchor for the settled peoples of England is via the Brythonic lineage which every Englishman has via the ethnogenesis of the English and the intermarriage of the Anglo Saxons with the indigenous Brythonic peoples. If you want accuracy and precision the English are a mixed ethnicity formed by the merging of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes with the Brythonic indigenous peoples of Britain in an ethnogenic event which does not include the peoples of Cornwall and Cumbria. And I forgot about the peoples of the borderlands in the Welsh Marches…they are also more Welsh than English in their genetic makeup. Many of those tested in the borderlands are also not of any notable Anglo Saxon lineage. I personally met a 76 year old farmer three days ago from Herefordshire who is an Evans and spoke at length about how the borderland peoples are not English but are Welsh. Now this is not to say that the Anglo Saxons didn’t achieve the most incredible feats as a people (once they accepted Christianity and abandoned their pagan heritage) and I desperately mourn what has happened to the land of England…especially the shires. …but be careful when opening up an ancient wound hailing Anglo Saxonism. There are churches near me in the borderlands dedicated to female saints raped and slaughtered by the Anglo Saxons.

Everybody says money is ruining politics, but very few people talk about why that is, or suggest another way of doing it. That's what I'm going to try to do with the SDP. Here are some numbers on how British politics is paid for, and why I think the way a party raises money decides its future.

Today, I'm announcing that I'm standing for the leadership of the SDP. I've said for years that we need people from outside politics to step up, because the political class that put us down here is not going to lift us back up. If I'm perfectly honest, I always meant "people other than me". But William Clouston was the first politician who inspired me to join a party. And he's now inspired me to wade into the fray myself. What he built is unique: a party that puts reality, honesty and the national interest front and centre. My job as leader would be to turn his substance into scale, and reach the millions of Brits who aren't served in the slightest by the current slew of parties. Watch the video to see my ambition for the party - and our country.

I will build the Britain my dad wanted to see.

I imagine all of these people are currently behind bars…
