Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

He & Michael Gove betrayed the UK & sold the British people down the river when they campaigned for Brexit.

This story shows how deeply the BBC is accommodating far-right climate-denial politics, giving in to Farage.
What's striking as always is that those who bang on about "absolute free speech" when it's about the worst kind of reactionary discourse are totally silent when there's actual censorship
Could it be hypocrisy fueled by the mainstream complicity? 🤔
