THENATIONALPULSE (Jack Montgomery) - Britain’s New ‘Ministry of Truth’ is the Latest Arm of a Sprawling Censorship Regime.

Last week at the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced that the British government would be launching a National Centre for Information Defence. Most listeners were left in little doubt as to “disinformation” the Prime Minister wants to crack down on: criticism of mass migration, state-sponsored diversity, equity, and inclusion, and lax border controls and vetting.

Last week at the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced that the British government would be launching a National Centre for Information Defence. “Russian agencies,” he told delegates, were using “every means at their disposal to spread lies and disinformation and prey on people’s fears.” He was less clear about the content of this disinformation, but he did complain that the Russians had “amplified far right narratives” and “tried to stoke tensions and unrest in the wake of horrific events.” WE ARE 100% INDEPENDENT AND READER-FUNDED.
