Western civilization faces London’s free speech disaster
Speaking your mind could get you arrested in Britain
COMMENTARY
By Scott Walker - Thursday, September 4, 2025
OPINION:
London is falling. Soon, it will be the rest of the United Kingdom. After that, it could be the rest of Western civilization. It is time for us all to wake up and take action before it is too late.
Restrictions on free speech undermine personal freedoms and self-governance and move Britain down the path toward Communist China or North Korea. Socialist policies remove the motive to work and undermine a once-great nation. Failure to crack down on crime strikes fear in citizens and terror in the hearts of minors. Even legal immigration, without assimilation, can cause major problems for a just society.
I just returned home from London this week. Ironically, Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage, himself a member of the British Parliament, appeared before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee days later to warn about restrictions on free speech in Britain.
One of the examples he gave involves an Irish comedian named Graham Linehan, who was arrested for posting on X about men pretending to be women. In one, he said: “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”
For this, he was arrested upon arrival at London’s Heathrow Airport. Mr. Linehan correctly noted: “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer.” His bail requirement was that he not go back on social media. In other words, he was given a gag order.
Restraints on speech aren’t the only problem in the United Kingdom. Years of socialist policies are faintly catching up with the British economy. Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher warned of this dilemma in 1976, saying, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Today, low productivity, stagnant real wages, weak investment and high housing costs in the U.K. have led to poor economic growth for more than a decade-and-a-half. Excessive government spending commitments have increased the national debt and cost-of-living pressures on citizens.
The Labour Party took charge of the national government last year and continues to push for increased government spending on expanding the government-run health-care system, a new, government-owned clean power company and plans to build 1.5 million new homes. Labour leaders claim they can pay for it by clamping down on tax evaders, yet the national debt continues to grow.
