One of the most exciting things Liz Truss said to the CPAC audience, was that she will join with the US independent media to launch a completely un-censorable media platform to combat the platforms in the West, which do so much to control what is published on the internet: https://youtu.be/qAWyEm0fQgA?t=788

Woman, 74, charged under abortion protest law:

A 74-year-old woman has become the first person to be arrested and charged under a Scottish law banning protests outside abortion clinics.
She was arrested close to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and was charged in connection with breach of an exclusion zone.
Officers removed a sign from the area – which had been held by the woman who was arrested – that read “coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want”.
The Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act came into force last year.
The legislation prevents any protests or vigils taking place within 200m (656ft) of 30 clinics offering abortion services in Scotland.
US Vice-President JD Vance took aim at the bill last week, incorrectly claiming people who live within safe access zones had been sent letters by the Scottish government warning them about praying within their homes.
First Minister John Swinney said Vance’s claims were “just wrong”.
The Scottish government said no letters had been sent out saying people couldn’t pray in their homes, and only “intentional or reckless behaviour” was covered by the act.
The vice-president was accused of “spreading misinformation” by Scottish Greens MSP Gillian Mackay, who drew up the law.
Police Scotland said it received a report of people protesting near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital at about 14:00.
The force said officers remained at the scene and that inquiries were ongoing.
Gillian Mackay said: “The protests that have taken place outside Queen Elizabeth have been utterly shameful and I am grateful to Police Scotland for acting so quickly.
“This kind of intimidation has no place in a modern or progressive Scotland. Everybody deserves to have access to healthcare without harassment.”
Anti-abortion group 40 Days for Life has advertised a spring vigil near the hospital starting next month.
BBC Scotland News has asked the group to comment.
Mackay added: “I urge 40 Days For Life and anyone else who is planning to protest in a safe access zone to think again, as they will be stopped and there will be consequences.”
The abortion zones law aims to stop the harassment of patients.
Within the buffer zones, it is a criminal offence to behave in ways that could influence the decisions of women and staff to access services.
Stopping women and staff from entering the clinics or otherwise causing alarm, harassment or distress is also an offence.
Those who break the laws could be fined up to £10,000 or an unlimited amount in more serious cases.

Of course – my own persecution by the English State powers in 2018 and 2019, (which culminated in my imprisonment in a top-security prison over the Christmas period of 2019), is something which only those of you who know me and have followed my work really know about, so all that is being highlighted now, by Liz Truss, Vice-President J.D. Vance is ‘old news’….However, I’m very happy that it’s happening, regardless!

PUBLISHED: 18:28, 16 December 2019: A Brexit activist has been jailed for 28 days for harassing former Remainer MP Anna Soubry and leaving her so frightened she refused to be alone in public.
Amy Dalla Mura, 56, targeted the former Conservative MP, 62, as she gave an interview to BBC Newsnight at Westminster’s central lobby.
She also left Ms Soubry ‘rattled’ when she yelled questions and refused to leave during a question-and-answer session at a London hotel a few weeks earlier.
Ms Soubry said the second incident in Parliament on 14 March took place on the night of a crunch Brexit vote and left her ‘afraid to be alone in public’.
Donald Trump supporter Dalla Mura, of Hove, East Sussex, was convicted of harassment between January and March this year.
She was jailed for 28 days today and banned from contacting Ms Soubry for three years.

Amy Beth Dalla Mura gestures as she leaves Westminster Magistrates’ Court, London, after being found guilty of harassing Anna Soubry. She was today jailed for 28 days
As she was being led away her supporters in the public gallery banged on the windows and screaming ‘shame on you’ at court staff.
They then slapped stickers on the glass panels reading: ‘Fake Justice’, and began shouting: ‘Democracy is dead,’ and ‘Freedom of speech is dead’.
She will serve half the 28 day prison sentence and then be released under a year-long probation review.
Ms Soubry was taking questions from a crowd she believed were just journalists but also included paying guests at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel on January 23, Westminster Magistrates Court was told.
Dalla Mura was filming as she questioned Ms Soubry, a leading Remain supporter, on Brexit, accusing her of not respecting the referendum vote.
The leader of Change UK told the court: ‘This defendant has frightened me more than anybody else.
‘My fear in relation to this woman and her unusual obsessive behaviour led me to be more frightened than ever.
‘I was so fearful for my safety I wouldn’t travel on Tube and wouldn’t use public transport.’
Dalla Mura’s sentencing had put off until today so she could stand for the English Democrats in Ms Soubry’s old constituency of Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire – despite living 200 miles away.TRENDING
She came third from last with 432 votes, (DESPITE NOT BEING PERMITTED TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE SEAT & OTHER STRINGENT RESTRICTIONS), while Ms Soubry lost her seat to Conservative Darren Henry who won with 26,602 crosses on the ballot paper.
Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot told Dalla Mura: ‘The difference is most people shout and wave flags, but they do not go right into their faces as was happening in this case.
‘How would people stand as prospective members of parliament if they see this is the way people are treated in politics?
‘It is a real danger. This is not a freedom of speech case. You showed an obsession and fixation with Ms Soubry which has led you to bully, intimidate and harass this now ex-MP for Broxtowe.
‘You knew she had been frightened by what you had done after the second incident and you went to try to intercept her on the third occasion.
‘I think ever since the murder of Jo Cox, MPs no longer feel able to put up with sustained intimidation. People like you stop ordinary, decent people from becoming MPs.
‘This damages our democracy because who would want to put with the sort of harassment that Ms Soubry suffered from January to March this year.

‘MPs should be able to do their jobs without putting up with harassment. I notice you did not feel any remorse for what you did.
‘You insulted her by calling her a traitor amongst other things. This behaviour against elected representatives carrying out their duties will not be tolerated by this court.’
Ms Cox was the Labour MP for Batley and Spen when she was murdered by Thomas Mair, 57, in June 2016.
Mair stabbed her 15 and shot her three times outside her home shouting: ‘This is Britain’.
Her lawyer Marcus Rickard said: ‘I have read dutifully the notes from the trial and you will have seen the pre-sentence report.
‘My client is clearly someone putting forward her political rights, under her human rights, and was doing so, she says, at the time of the incidents.
‘I do not seek to trivialise or go behind the courts determination, but you will understand that Ms Dalla Mura is appealing this matter.’
No orders for prosecution costs were made but she must pay a victim surcharge of £150. BrexitBBCLondon
