This is truly 1984 in our day. I’m praying it won’t be allowed. Tousi TV is already having trouble as an independent news YouTube channel. Mayhar Tousi is trying to set up in the US and that’s taking its time. Do you think we can use other ways to communicate? Is mail still working well in the UK?

It is extremely concerning.

I do watch Tousi TV. It is very informative. Particularly on Iran, he gives information that I do not find elsewhere.

He is being factual and informative with just a very small team. It is amazing that he produces such informative output.

Is that available everywhere? I have not heard of Tousi tv.

It is on YouTube. ☺️Thanks for asking. He is currently based in England. He is British- his dad lives in Iran. He just got married. A very good journalist who gives a unique insider take on the situation in Iran and the complex problems of the IRGC in Iran which has oppressed the Persians(real people of Iran) for 47 years. (This was in part why Trump bombed Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini to try to end the barbaric Islamic rule there. )Mayhar Tousi has live broadcasts where you can interact with the presentation to ask questions, comment for a small cost once you become a subscriber. I haven’t subscribed but I enjoy the news because it’s genuine and unbiased.

Yes @Hellish 2050. I agree. It is such a good source of real news about the sufferings of people who live in Iran under that Islamic dictatorship. We all hope they can be freed.

The good news is that a huge percentage of people have zero trust in the mainstream media. This isn't just wishful thinking. A recent survey by Pew Research revealed that

"... only 32% of British adults trust the mainstream news media". Last year, an additional 500,000 people refused to pay the ludicrous BBC TV license. The corrupt criminal UK government are working on the basis - "you can fool all of the people, all of the time ...

if the budget is big enough". They are dead wrong. We need to fight back. To quote

Bob Dylan - "Money doesn't talk, it swears". The BBC are having to sack staff due to their

cashflow problems. Those problems have been caused by people who refuse to be taken for

gulliblle fools. If Youtube become part of the MSM, people will go elsewhere.

how do they refuse to pay the fee for the BBC? I thought it mandatory - is it a bill they get in the mail?

Hellish 2050's avatar

People without a TV do not need to pay.

My brother has a TV but does not connect it to an aerial. He uses it to watch DVDs.

He has to keep telling them as they persist in asking him to pay. He is behaving perfectly legally.

Some people do watch TV and don't pay the licence. But they risk getting in to trouble.

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press should be protected and worth fighting for!

Kaycee's avatar

sadly they don't have that as I'm sure you know Joanna. Only we have it here in the USA and lucky it still stands up when challenged in court.

I’m thankful every day to be born in our beautiful country! Hope you are enjoying celebrating our 250th birthday!

You are fortunate indeed!

Just catching up with speeches and events.

The USA is being infiltrated too. Not to the extent that the UK and Europe is, but a few short decades and it will be at our current level.

Time is running out to save Western civilisation.

You’re right we have been infiltrated, but happily our borders are closed. We have deported thousands and hopefully we will continue. Sharia law must not be allowed anywhere! We are fighting back. A lot will tell with the midterms.

Kaycee's avatar

It sure is! We do have some senators and house members shouting the warnings and drafting bills to ban sharia but not sure how fast that process is moving. As for Texas and Florida, of all the states, are finally cracking down on Muslim only communities although not sure how far along Tampa, FL is being exposed. And I think it is a plan by the islamists here to infiltrate our most conservative states. Ugh!

I read a comment on another Substacker posting on this subject that said that the UK govt is being sued by many outfits for this outright use of govt censorship. Is this true?

Hellish 2050's avatar

Could you post the link please?

Kaycee's avatar

I will see if I can find it. I have not verified it by searching the web for that info so I will do that if I can't find the poster's comments.
