If criticising mass immigration can get you banned from Britain, free speech is dead

Summary: During a visit to the U.S., UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer asserted that "freedom of speech has long been protected in the United Kingdom." However, a recent action by the Home Office contradicts that claim: French author Renaud Camus was denied entry to the UK, where he was scheduled to speak about the dangers of mass immigration. Camus, who wrote The Great Replacement, argues that Western Europe’s native populations are being deliberately replaced by people from other cultures. The Home Office cited that his presence was “not conducive to the public good.” This move may backfire by drawing more attention to his views and reinforcing the belief among his supporters that elites are trying to silence dissent.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., some states are reintroducing firing squads as a method of execution. Political science professor Austin Sarat argues this could hurt public support for capital punishment by exposing its brutality. However, the article’s author is skeptical, sarcastically suggesting that Americans are unlikely to stop supporting the death penalty simply because it's not “gentle.” He highlights an ironic case where a death row inmate in Utah was given antacid for an upset stomach just before being executed by firing squad.

In Birmingham, UK, sanitation workers disillusioned with the Labour Party are planning to launch a new “real workers’ party.” The group would include left-wing trade unionists, environmentalists, and Free Palestine activists. However, the author mocks the inclusion of the latter, saying many of them seem unemployed and more focused on disrupting public life than actually working — thereby hindering “real” workers from getting to their jobs.
