Annie Machon and George Galloway discussion on RT 4 May 2019 regarding free speech, journalism, whistle-blowing and legislation.


Those who talk about ending capitalism in order to save the world should be aware that this is a dangerous message.
Whether we live in a little place such as Jersey or the USA the international standards are becoming ever more dominated by commercial pursuits and that "free speech" is increasingly controlled and our actions and activities monitored.
The discussion that follows was broadcast this evening 4 May on RT (TV Channel) and features Annie Machon and George Galloway and is centred on the implications arising from the arrest of Julian Assange, his and our future wellbeing and press freedom and related issues.

Annie Machon was born in Guernsey, the daughter of a journalist and was an MI5 operative with her partner David Shaylor.



It would not be possible for such a discussion to be produced in the Channel Islands by BBC or CTV journalists and such an investigation of issues does not take place within the local, so called accredited press print titles.

The fears and concerns expressed in the discussion are just as relevant in Jersey today as they are in the UK or other countries where legislation to control the Internet and bloggers is constantly being upgraded and made more severe.

It is especially relevant because this week sees the celebration of LIBERATION from OCCUPATION in the Channel Islands.
