This week, Jerm, Mike and Charles dive into the current state of free speech in the UK, pointing out the chilling effects of government legislation like the Online Safety Act and the Terrorism Act, which are used to suppress dissent. The discussion covers the real-world impact of censorship, with actual people facing imprisonment, unbelievably, for voicing their opinions, while mainstream media largely complies with government narratives. They note that public awareness is growing, evident in petitions, but stress the need for local solutions and face-to-face communication to resist control and maintain freedom of expression. On top of that, they highlight the importance of basics like food, shelter, and water, warn about digital ID, monitoring citizens, and mention that cryptocurrencies—like Bitcoin—might not offer the freedom many hope for.More Jerm interviews: https://www.ukcolumn.org/series/jerm-warfare
