  • “The tragedy of John Cleese” – In Bournbrook Magazine’s latest video essay, S.D. Wickett narrates one of his recent articles about how the comedian John Cleese regrets supporting political correctness, partly blaming himself for destroying the old, humorous Britain that he loved.
  • “Let’s not become Scotland” – “The fact that the Law Commission wants to venture into territory where even Nicola Sturgeon fears to tread is alarming,” writes Toby, who analyses the Law Commission’s recent recommended changes to hate-crime laws, which would harm free speech in the Spectator.
  • “Jordan Peterson explains how tyranny grows” – In his appearance on the Joe Rogan show, Jordan Peterson describes the process for how government power can deceptively grow and become tyrannical.

I regret ever going along with and supporting lockdowns and other restrictions. It seemed necessary at the time but the price we're going to pay for it was NOT worth it. pic.twitter.com/EyeMyWKNyx
