And we've tried to shine a light on who these people are and what their so-called fact checks do. I'm delighted that we're moving to a more community-based, like a community note system like X or Twitter has. But let's see how it actually is implemented because the devil, once again, will be in the detail.

It's a huge question. And in the very few hours that we've had since the Zuckerberg announcement this morning, these are the type of questions that we're mulling over that we're trying to figure out the answers to. Of course, European members of parliament, the European Commission, all of these bureaucrats and the entire vast operation that has worked for so long to try and tamp down

on people's free speech. They will absolutely be having a freak out right now. There's no doubt about it. I worked in Brussels. I worked in Strasbourg. I know all of these people very well. They will be in a full on meltdown over the fact that ordinary people might get to say what they think once again.

you know, without being tamped down on, without their accounts being deleted, restricted, suspended, all of the things that have happened to me, by the way.

The irony is just last week, I got three strikes in a row on my Facebook page telling me that I'm about to lose it because, you know, some fact checker may have been lead stories, may have been another one that they use, disagreed with my framing of a story in some way, shape or form. So I look forward to the end of that regime, but the Brussels apparatus, the Davos apparatus certainly won't.

As it pertains specifically to the United Kingdom, look, if I were in the UK today, I suspect I would already be behind bars for some of the things that I share on social media. It's not a joke. I am not putting my tongue in my cheek when I say that. I'm not exaggerating. I truly believe that to be the case. Whenever I talk to people back home, they tend to agree with me.

They say, Raheem, you are one of the most spicy people online. There's absolutely no way the authorities would let you get away with that stuff here. And this applies doubly, triply, quadruply to somebody like Tommy Robinson. Now, like you say, Tommy can and has been one of his own worst enemies. He would tell you that. He's been a friend of mine for a long time.

But what is at the heart of the things that he posts and the things that he shares is his love for his country. And his willing intent to try and shine a light on these, you know, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Muslim grooming and rape gangs, scandals which have been going on for two decades now plus. in the United Kingdom.

But because a comma might be in the wrong place or an I isn't dotted or a T isn't crossed in some of his posts, the authorities use that as a cudgel by which to beat him with. He, as far as they are concerned, is one of those grubby, working class, deplorable garbage types who shouldn't actually be able to have their say. So while

There can be arguments about the things that he's done and the way he's gone about them. You have to bear in mind at its core what this is about. To answer your broader question, yeah, look, we have a newly elected Labour left wing of the Democrats government in the United Kingdom.
