In this week’s London Calling, the talking points are the Italian election, Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget, the Canadian teacher with the comedy fake boobs, The Capture and PayPay’s attempt to censor the Daily Sceptic.

PayPal and other finance companies could be banned from blocking the accounts of campaign groups for political reasons under a new law being proposed by MPs that the Government is said to be "likely to accept".

PayPal says its mission is to "ensure everyone can take control of their financial lives” and that it believes access to financial services should be a "right for all”. So why does it keep banning people it doesn't like?

Forty two MPs, including a former leader of the Conservative Party, have written to the Business Secretary and the First Secretary of the Treasury urging them to do something about out-of-control, censorship-happy PayPal.

Why is it only the non-woke who are up in arms about PayPal’s censorship of the Daily Sceptic and the Free Speech Union? Thomas Prosser, an associate professor at Cardiff, explains why everyone should be concerned.

A gay rights organisation opposed to paedophilia was deplatformed by PayPal, only to discover that pro-paedophile organisation Prostasia continues to be on good terms with the woke financial technology company.

“The FSU is going to try to get the law changed so PayPal and other companies can’t deplatform people for expressing political views they disapprove of. I feel like saying to PayPal, ‘You messed with the wrong guy.’”

If we allow woke financial services companies to demonetise individuals and organisations whose political views they disagree with, then free speech is effectively over in the West.

In the latest episode of the Daily Sceptic, the talking points are PayPal’s demonetisation of the Daily Sceptic, the problem with Stewart Lee and the unspeakable wokeness of the Rings of Power.

PayPal has closed the accounts of the Daily Sceptic and the Free Speech Union, a new low in Big Tech’s war on free speech. Not only can you not express certain views, you can’t defend people’s right to express them.
