Fox News issues urgent alert - and it's humiliating news for Keir Starmer

Fox News issued an urgent alert in a humiliating blow to Keir Starmer's leadership. The US correspondents caused a stir when they declared "Big Brother is Watching" on Sunday night's Fox Business show, The Bottom Line. In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, the Ministry of Truth is a government agency responsible for propaganda, historical revisionism, and manipulating information to align with the Party's narrative. The Fox News host declared: "1984 called and it wants its Ministry of Truth back. The UK has created an elite police unit known as The National Intelligence Investigations Team dedicated to monitoring anti-migrant social media posts. Leaders claim its purpose is to detect early signs of potential unrest." They then showed images of the ongoing protests in Epping as tensions rise over migrants being housed in hotels within the area.

It comes amid growing concerns around free speech and growing disorder in the UK. An elite team of police officers is to monitor social media for anti-migrant sentiment amid fears of summer riots. Detectives will be drawn from forces across the country to take part in a new investigations unit that will flag up early signs of potential civil unrest. During Donald Trump's visit to the UK, Starmer assured the press that we have had "free speech here for a very long time and we're very proud of that".

The Fox News correspondents were joined by Public News Founder Michael Shellenberger.

Host Guy Benson quizzed: "Michael, it's true that the UK and the West has a fairly robust tradition when it comes to free speech but i'm not so sure that's true anymore. There is story after story about people being thrown behind bars in the UK - even for tweets they have deleted with longer prison sentences than people who have committed actual physical violent crimes."

Michael claimed: "It's an incredible story. There is a woman that has been in prison for 31 months which is four months longer than a child rapist. All she did was have a tweet up for four hours that she ended up taking down.

"This is a sweeping crackdown on free speech in Great Britain. We have not seen anything like this for hundreds of years. Keep in mind they were arresting 30 people a day for wrong speech in Britain before this. Now, they have a special police task force to constantly monitor social media including X formerly Twitter and they can stop content based on age verification."

He went: "They are not going to allow people to criticise mass immigration. They're going to call it Islamphobia. A hate crime and prevent it. George Orwell perfectly predicted this in 1984 when he wrote his book in the mid 40s."

Michael went on to explain that as the UK continues to increase social media surveillance it is effectively taken place worldwide including within the EU and the US.

"It's happening everywhere and has accelerated since Trump was elected," he explained. "So it's the EU, it's Britain, it's Ireland - they want to read your private text messages. Canada, Brazil - the strategy here is to make it so the social media companies will censor this content for everybody."

He added that while Americans don't care he added they should suggesting the move was a strategy "to encircle the UK and have these social media companies censor the content".

Michael also claimed the heavy censorship has been politcisied due to the growing support of right-wing parties.

Further demonstrations have taken place across the UK as migrants have been moved to more prestigious London postcodes.

A series of demonstrations have taken place near the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf over plans for it to be used to house migrants.

Men believed to be asylum seekers were filmed walking into the hotel off a bus in the early hours of Saturday, with the video clip showing them holding what seemed to be brown envelopes and wearing similar clothing.

A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets Council has previously confirmed the Britannia Hotel will be used to "provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers".
