UK’s Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer is tragically set on imposing censorship in social media as a last resource to silence his own citizens and impose their hated Globalist agenda unimpeded.
However, if he wants to get a trade deal with the US, Starmer will have to embrace Donald J. Trump’s free speech agenda, and repeal ‘hate speech’ and censorship laws, sources close to chief negotiator VP JD Vance have told British paper The Independent.
This report follows statements by Vance hinting that a UK-US agreement ‘may be close’, with the White House ‘working very hard’ on it.
Vance to UnHerd:
“I think there’s a good chance that, yes, we’ll come to a great agreement that’s in the best interest of both countries.”
The Independent reported:
“But allies of Mr. Vance say he is ‘obsessed by the fall of Western civilization’ – including his view that free speech is being eroded in Britain – and that he will demand the Labour government rolls back laws against hateful comments, including abuse targeting LGBT+ groups or other minorities, as a condition of any deal.
The Independent was told: ‘The vice-president expressing optimism [on a trade deal] is a way of putting further pressure on the UK over free speech. If a deal does not go through, it makes Labour look bad’.”
Needless to say, the Independent report not only misrepresents Vance’s opinions as ‘an obsession’, but the paper also describes the censorship laws as benign interventions against ‘hate’ and ‘targeted abuse’.
“’No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that’, the source close to the vice-president said. It is understood that Britain has already offered to drop its proposed digital services tax as a means of getting a trade deal through. But the US wants to see laws on hate speech repealed as well as plans for a new online safety law dropped.”
