The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion

4 weeks ago

The Secretary of State responsible for the media has quit X — along with her department — because of what she says is the spread of misinformation, dubbing the platform a danger to democracy. Despite professing to be a champion of free speech, Lisa Nandy also turned off comments on her post. Lisa Nandy has served as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in the most authoritarian government in modern British history. If she truly believes in free speech, was she not concerned that around 30 people a day are arrested for allegedly “offensive” social media posts? Why was she in the House of Commons only last week spearheading government plans to dictate what content citizens see online? And if Lisa Nandy cares so deeply about democracy, why was she so quiet when the Government sought to cancel a significant proportion of this year’s local elections? Most concerning of all, Lisa Nandy — a close ally of our next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham — would, if she remains in post, likely be the minister charged with leading the Government’s campaign against Britain’s free press, acting on the wishes of Burnham and Hugh Grant. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said: “DCMS is supposed to counter and deal with misinformation, not run away because it’s all too much.” Read more below 👇

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.

In Memory of Jay Miner, the Father of the Amiga Today, June 20, marks 32 years since we lost Jay Miner — the brilliant engineer and visionary who gave the world the Amiga. Born on May 31, 1932, Miner’s passion for pushing hardware to its creative limits changed computing forever. His legacy still inspires retro enthusiasts, game developers, and tinkerers decades later. Jay is best remembered as the driving force behind the AMIGA, launched in 1985 by Commodore. The Amiga 1000 was revolutionary: stunning graphics (up to 4096 colors), rich 4-channel stereo sound, and true preemptive multitasking years before it became standard on other platforms. Powered by a Motorola 68000 CPU and Miner’s custom chips — Agnus, Denise, and Paula — it became the ultimate machine for gamers, artists, musicians, and video creators. From Defender of the Crown and Deluxe Paint to the Video Toaster, the Amiga didn’t just run software — it unleashed creativity like nothing before it. "Only Amiga Makes it Possible" was how Amiga was known! Before the Amiga, Miner helped define home gaming and computing at Atari. He co-designed the groundbreaking TIA chip for the Atari 2600 (the heart of classics like Space Invaders and Pong) and led the graphics architecture for the Atari 400/800 computers. Jay didn’t just build machines — he built dreams. He believed computers should empower people to create, play, and imagine. On June 20, 1994, we lost a true pioneer and every modern system owes a debt to his forward-thinking designs. What did Jay Miner’s work mean to you? RIP Jay Miner. Thank you for the Amiga

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. odni.gov/index.php/news…

This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen. I have now received an apology from the editor. My interview is below: 👇🏻

"I thought the sound chips on the market, including those in the Atari computers, were primitive and obviously had been designed by people who knew nothing about music". -- Robert Yannes, creator of the sound chip SID for the C64, in an interview for "The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore" from 2006. His motivation was to create something better. And I think anyone who ever had a C64 agrees that he excelled at doing so. If you need convincing, just listen to this epic intro music for Arkanoid from Martin Galway. That tune is 40 years old and easily stands the test of time. The C64 will forever be known for having the best sound chip of any 8 bit machine.

🚨BREAKING: Henry Nowak's father speaks out on the murder of his son: "He told officers he could not breathe NINE TIMES, he said he had been stabbed FOUR TIMES, but the officer replied saying' 'I don't think you have, mate.'" What a brave man.
