The United Kingdom, once the cradle of Western democracy with the Magna Carta, is rapidly transforming into a totalitarian police state worthy of Stalin. He has declared war on free speech. His target? X, the platform.

Starmer probably thought he could play dictator with impunity on his own island. He thought he could ban Elon Musk and his platform X without repercussions: well, he has another think coming.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “If Starmer succeeds in banning X in Britain, I will pursue legislation (…) to sanction not just Starmer, but Britain as a whole,” she writes fiercely. She refers to the precedent set during the conflict with Brazil in 2024-2025.
