Black Hawk Down actor Matthew Marsden has said he stands by his decision not to get the Covid jab despite admitting it has cost him roles in Hollywood. The Mail has the story.
Marsden, who is also known for his roles in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Amazon’s Reacher series, urged more people to rebel against compulsory vaccination, adding: “If more people stood up and said something then this would all stop.”
The 49-year-old English-American star told Fox Nation’s Tucker Carlson Today he was offered a job that required everybody on-set was vaccinated but tried to apply for a religious exemption, adding: “You can imagine how that went down in Hollywood.”
Marsden has been a fierce critic of the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, frequently slamming lockdowns, mask-wearing policy and mandatory jabs.
He said he was willing to sacrifice his career to ensure U.S. freedoms were not “taken away”.
“I’ve worked a lot with soldiers and it’s really difficult for me to say that losing my career is a difficult decision to stand up for what is right when they’ll go, and they’ll die, and they’ll lose everything.” he told Carlson.
“This is all happening because we’re letting it happen,” he said, warning that “It doesn’t matter who you are, they’ll come after you… they’re relentless.”
Courageous, principled man.

I expected Phillipson to dig her heels in on this. I guess the government has made a calculation that this is a hill not worth dying on. They are so unpopular on many fronts that this has, I guess, had a sobering effect on the degree of zealotry they feel. I expect to see partial backdowns in other areas too.
Fingers crossed
New laws protecting free speech on campus are likely to be given the green light in the new year.
Given that the madleft is the junior partner in an alliance with the transnational corporate aristocracy, an alliance founded on both groups seeking to impose a post-democratic total-control state on us, I’m sceptical about this. And where would the madleft be without its endless proliferation of thought-terminating heresies – its “isms” and “phobias”, and its designation of us as “ists” and “phobes”? I just can’t see them giving up their attempt to control our language and speech.

Fixing the foundations, 22bn black hole… All the usual buzzword tripe.
The best part is doubtlessly this:
The Government was elected by the British people on a mandate of change
Presumably, on a mandate of chump change, as the people’s government on a budget. With everything getting more expensive all the time, nobody can afford a really full-featured government anymore. Starmer might not be the greatest PM in British history. But he was 75% reduced to clear!
Meaningless drivel the apparatus excreted in lieu of a response after being poked with a stick. Starmer’s gang of people who are unsure if they can really tell whether they are men or women or maybe something else altogether doesn’t even pretend to have some kind of political vision beyond We run the show now! And we’ll save the climate until you all get blue in the face! Hahahahahaha!
The closing maniacal laughter is of course really inappropriate for this bunch of automatons tasked with extracting more money for UN projects from the general public. They’re not that human.
There is no freedom of speech without freedom of thought. Can you not feel how the shackles feel heavier every day? As if even if you stayed true to speaking your truth, there would be less people who publicly acknowledged agreement wth you lest they be identified. It has happened, people being sacked for ‘liking’ something. This is the real issue. You need to remove this cloud of fear and apprehension. There is no excuse for turning a blind eye to this given that you can feel it yourself.
Well done to Toby Young and the Free Speech Union for fighting against this anti-democratic attempt to completely discard an Act of Parliament that had already received Royal Assent.
News said the Labour government are doing the same thing to another historically important Act of Parliament that had already received Royal Assent: The Troubles Legacy Act, one of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s greatest contributions to justice and peace, which gave British Army veterans the same immunity against vindictive prosecutions as Traitor Tony Blair unilaterally and outrageously gave to the Catholic IRA Terrorists. Prime Minister Johnson had promised to do this, and he fulfilled his promise faithfully.
Now Labour will reignite the endless persecution of British Army veterans for things that happened half a century ago, while letting the Catholic IRA Terrorists off scot-free for all their heinous atrocities, including the murder of Protestant mother-of-ten children Mrs. Jean McConville, who was dragged from her house, shot dead on a beach, and buried secretly in the sand, as punishment for the “crime” of helping a wounded British Army soldier who had fallen to the ground in front of her garden gate.
Why is the Legacy Act being abolished and what does it mean for Northern Ireland? | The Independent
Thought I’d correct the governments slogan for them…
I suggest
Let’s get Britain’s future backwards!
Does this mean the Free Speech Union does not have to take her to court?
Let’s just remind ourselves that this whole fiasco is the fault of the previous Conservative government.
The Act was passed as an “enabling Act”, giving the Minister the power to activate it by issuing regulations. This is how Acts of Parliament are normally drafted these days, in post-democratic Britain.
If the Conservatives had passed a proper Act of Parliament as opposed to letting the Blob govern, the provisions would have been put into effect long ago.
