President Donald Trump’s son Eric went on British GB News and emphasized the seriousness of the free speech crisis in the U.K., comparing it to the previous American administration’s censorship cartel.
Eric Trump told British Member of Parliament Nigel Farage Wednesday that defending free speech was one of his father's motivations to continue running for president during the tumultuous 2024 election. He also discussed the disturbing ongoing censorship crackdown in the U.K.
Farage noted that it would have been easy for President Trump and his family to escape politics after the 2020 election and the mountain of political lawfare that followed, but they didn’t. “What is it that made you go on?” he asked. Pondering the choices his family made, Eric Trump said, “As a business guy, it would have been the easiest deal I've ever made. You know what? My father will step aside. We'll all step aside. We'll be a little bit more quiet.” But they decided liberty was in too much danger.
Eric Trump continued, “We love America. We love this country, we love this world. Our leadership under Joe Biden was absolutely incompetent.” Under Biden, Trump argued, “We were losing faith, we were losing family, we were losing our Constitution, we were losing our freedom of speech.”
Trump went on to note that Britain is also increasingly seeing freedom of speech dwindle. He praised Farage however, for standing against censorship, “You've been a vocal critic of it, but it is seriously dangerous and incredibly worrisome as a — as a person who's had speech weaponized against them, I can say that the path that U.K. is going down is a dangerous one, and I hate to see what's happening over there.”
'The path the UK is going down is a dangerous one! We need the Western world to be strong, otherwise there is mayhem.'

Just as the Biden administration coordinated with Big Tech and private entities to enforce censorship here in America, the British government is weaponizing laws like the Online Safety Act against its citizens. Indeed, the New York Post reported in August that up to 30 people were being arrested every day in the U.K. for free speech, including memes. Now, the U.K. is using the excuse of mass migration to demand that all citizens who work obtain a digital identification.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer rejected critiques of the ID by simply shifting the blame of the mass migration problem onto the citizens dissatisfied with it rather than the politicians who encouraged it while pushing digital ID. That same danger is close to home here. As MRC Free Speech America Director Michael Morris warned, Joe Biden already laid the framework for a digital currency here in America, so Britain's nightmare is not so far away.
