I’ve had a YouTube video channel for more than eight years without ever having had any problems. I have used my channel to post occasional videos, usually based on my current affairs books. So I have covered subjects such as foreign aid waste, our bloated charity industry, ever-rising knife crime in London, the rise and rise of Dame Cressida Dick, the pointlessness of many university degrees and, most recently, the supposed ‘Global Boiling Climate Crisis’.
In the last couple of months I made three short parody videos mocking
three members of Keir Starmer’s government – Starmer himself, Angela
Rayner and Rachel Reeves. This has led to YouTube taking down my whole
video channel. So now none of my videos, even those which have been on
YouTube for years, are available. Helpfully, YouTube informs me that I
can appeal against their decision to ban me and remove all my videos.
But in a rather Kafkaesque situation, I am not told why I have been
banned. This makes it somewhat difficult to appeal against YouTube’s
ban, as I have no idea what crime I am alleged to have committed.
However, this perhaps gives a good idea of what life is becoming like in
Starmer’s ‘free speech Britain’. This situation will no doubt become
