Free speech under attack – Labour is a big part of the problem
JVL Introduction
JVL has long raised concerns about the wider risks that Labour Party’s clamp down on free speech for wider society. We see the cancelling of the film “Oh Jeremy Corbyn – The Big Lie” because of pressure that all venues come under. This editorial from the Morning Star reminds us of Labour’s restrictions on members’ right to even discuss some issues. This is highly dangerous and worrying for what this means for a future Starmer led government. Meanwhile this heinous Tory government has already brought in and is planning more and more restrictions on protest, the right to call for Boycott, Divestment and sanctions and more.

There is no reason to think that this sort of behaviour would be any different if Labour was in government.
I would imagine the ID card/database crowd would rear their ugly heads again.
Labour can no longer be regarded as the ‘lesser evil’. Only considerations of cost will make Labour change.
I’m surprised that Starmer hasn’t proscribed the film, unless of course he starts suspending members who watched it before he proscribes it. Something he’s being doing for a long time now.
Please share, this is the Video, you can watch it in the comfort of your own home.
