    Don't know if still the case but the Mail online site was the most visited English language newspaper website in the world a few years back. Maybe that reflects the fact that several other major English speaking countries tend to have regional newspapers instead of national titles.

    Do you ever notice how quickly and suddenly freedom of expression is restricted? Even the mods on this site are prone to it, I'm sure without realising but then becomes normilised.

    Do you see who is running for London Major? Can't even bring to mention his name. He argues for free speech and then deletes a bunch of his Youtube videos the moment they go against him.

    Proroguing parliament did not lift as much as an eyelid, overthrowing the highest court in the land, lie to the queen - let's cut to the chase, the UK has turned into a fascist state. Quite an achievement when you consider the UK reminds itself almost on a daily basis it defeated Nazi Germany.

    What's that saying, fascism does not come rolling down the street in tanks with a following army.. no no, it sneaks in the back door when no one is looking.

    I'm with Danny Dyer on this one.
    And an inevitable spike afterwards which won't kill most people so they will think they were right to do it.

    If people would use some common sense he wouldn't have to ban it. Poor bloke is absolutely f***ed whatever he does.
