The UK is rapidly becoming one of the most aggressive surveillance states in the democratic world, and many don't even realize it's happening.

[FREE SPEECH FRIDAY]
The UK has officially slid into a dystopian surveillance state, and the rest of the world is next. On this week's Free Speech Friday The Kavernackle joined me to discuss the terrifying reality of the Online Safety Act, the push for mandatory Digital ID, and how the UK is leading the global charge toward authoritarianism and mass surveillance.
From banning VPNs to arresting citizens for social media posts, the British government is dismantling privacy under the guise of "safety." We break down how liberals like Keir Starmer are spearheading these mass surveillance programs and why the "Blitz Spirit" mentality has altered the way so many in the UK understand nationalism and privacy.
The mass surveillance framework being built in London is coming to the US, as the crackdown on free speech is spreading across the globe.
