The silencing of Andrew Bridgen MP

 


Something “interesting” happened today. Dr John Campbell, proprietor of a YouTube channel I frequent (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxg), had published a 36-minute interview with Andrew Bridgen MP about his criticisms of COVID vaccine safety. I watched it this morning.

When, later today, I went to Dr Campbell’s website to check for updates, I found that the interview with Mr Bridgen was no longer there. I made a comment to that effect on Dr Campbell’s latest thread, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz4fn2QFO_A&t=670s. Here is the start of the conversation:

Where did the Andrew Bridgen interview go? It was still there about ten minutes ago. It isn't now.

Removed by YouTube for violating their community guidelines. Campbell has been given his first strike and banned for a week.

I don’t know who “Aturi” is, but I have no reason to disbelieve her/him/hesh. No more reason, indeed, than I have to disbelieve the films made by the Russians when they “liberated” Auschwitz and similar camps. Or to think that the establishment have any right at all to silence either Mr Bridgen or Dr Campbell over this matter, unless and until Mr Bridgen’s case is proved to have been false.

We do indeed live in “interesting” times.
