Hello to you all,
I am from UK. I am shocked at the way the world is moving politically. I thought I was closer to left-wing or British Labour Party, but I like truth and direct honesty and thus found myself watching and listening to debates by Tucker Carlson on Fox News because he seems to pursue honest debate. I just dont get the twisted narrative whereby so-called, self-proclaimed "experts" never answer a direct question. So, where are the direct truthful people who do not use PC and threats of "hate speech" to shut others down? This is why I joined this forum to. We will see. We do NOT have programmes in Britain which allow direct unchecked political discourse. Britain is totally controlled by PC and the threat of so-called "hate speech".

Tucker Carlson? Are you a troll? Carlson is a paid stooge for the right, of course he may also believe the nonsense he spouts but most ideologues follow suit.

Britain looks pretty open to honest debate from here.
