The State's Sinister Plan to Control Social Media | The Sceptic Ep.86
About this episode
The episode discusses the UK government's plans to control online media and the potential risks to the electricity grid.
How the Government plans to control the UK’s online media landscape, and is Britain’s electricity grid being pushed towards breaking point? In Episode 86 of the Sceptic, host Ellie Hodges talks to journalist, lawyer and UsForThem founder Molly Kingsley about the Government’s little-noticed plans to reshape Britain’s online media landscape, why she believes they could sideline independent voices in favour of establishment broadcasters and what they could mean for free speech online. And for our premium subscribers, Ellie sits down with independent energy consultant Kathryn Porter to discuss whether Britain’s electricity grid is being pushed to breaking point. They dig into recent low-frequency events, claims that NESO is downplaying serious risks, explosive whistleblower allegations and whether this winter could bring a real risk of blackouts.
