Winston Marshall

One girl, a teenager, got booked a non-crime hate incident for calling a classmate a retard. Another girl called another classmate, or rather, said that she smelt like fish. She got a non-crime hate incident that remains on her record. Another person got a non-crime-hated incident for hanging jeans on their clothesline in their back garden.

Another got one for whistling the Bob the Builder theme tune at a plumber. This might sound like a joke, but this is actually happening in Britain. We don't have the same culture of free speech. But things get, well, let's say things turbocharged last summer. In July, we elected a new prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer of the Labour Party.

Within a month, there was a terrible killing, a terrible murder of three young girls in Southport, outside of Liverpool. This, I'm sure the news got to America. Within a couple of days, there were riots and protests up and down the country. The riots were ugly, and there were also peaceful protests alongside it. In the wake of the riots, Zakir Starmer came out immediately, did a press conference.

In the wake of the riots, Zakir Starmer came out immediately, did a press conference.

He didn't do a press conference about the killing itself. He did a press conference about the riots and protests and announced that there would be a clampdown. Immediately after that, thousands were arrested. And the arrests didn't include just those who were actually committing violence. It also included a whole host of people what I would say are speech crimes or so-called speech crimes.

They included, for example, Cameron Bell, a 24-year-old, who was sentenced to nine months in prison for live streaming the aftermath of one of the riots on TikTok. It included... One man called Lee Dunn getting eight weeks in prison for reposting, not posting, reposting three memes. Those memes, by the way, I'll describe one of them. Not pretty memes, but not crazily offensive.

One of those memes was of three Muslim men in Westminster overlooking a young girl, and it said, coming to a town near you, along those lines. So he reposted that and got three weeks. There were quite literally thousands of arrests, and all of these people, or rather, I would say the vast majority, or many of them, would not have been sentenced had they pled not guilty.

But they were bullied into guilty pleas. Now, the reason I know this is because there's two examples of people who did not plead guilty. One was a man called Mark Heath, and as he awaited sentencing, he was beaten up in prison by, well, he says, by a Muslim gang. This is a man in a wheelchair. I believe that his...

Tweet was not pretty, but nevertheless, it was not a crime, or at least it wasn't found to be a crime by a jury when he actually went to court. Another man was cleared last month. His name was Jamie Michaels. Jamie Michaels was a former Marine, and he posted a 12-minute video urging people to peacefully protest. Sound familiar? But he was found not guilty by a trial.

I think it was thrown out of court in about 12 minutes or 13 minutes, not much longer than the length of the video itself. And he was protected by the Free Speech Union. So... What we have there, we still have people in prison for breaking these various speech laws. Now, I could go into the details of the mountain of speech laws that we have built up since the war.

I can also, I have a new theory about why that came about, we could go into. But certainly the state of free speech in Britain is not the envy of the world.

Well, there were murmurs that Sir Keir Starmer had recognised the ridiculousness of the non-crime hate incidences, the NCHIs. But there have since been more murmurs from the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, saying that they were just going to carry on.
