I looked over his X profile.

It's not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It's a war between NATO and Russia, with Ukraine being used as a pawn, and Ukrainians paying the price of NATO expansion and antagonism.

Explosive.

Russia is now demanding that Europe pay for gas in rubles.

Europe gets 40% of its gas from Russia. That’s 200-800 million euros per day.

Putin is basically saying: you want to play sanctions? Either pay up in rubles or freeze.

Yeah, can’t imagine why the UK government would want to detain and ask him some questions right now at this one particular moment in time; not like something has happened recently that woke them up to the real world urgency of allowing Russia to put dangerous toxic bullshit into their social media landscape that might have made them want to take any actions about it.

So if they arrested him under “terrorism” act it is okay because he talk about Russia - Ukraine issue?

That’s like the opposite of everything democracy and freedom of speech stand for.

Innocent until proven guilty, and freedom of speech, and freedom for journalist and reporting is no longer relative.

Do you have any link to what happened besides his own moaning and an article that provides no details? Until I see data/evidence, I’m biased against a chronic paid bullshitter.

He’s been arrested, not sentenced. That’s the innocent until proven guilty bit.

Not sure where you are from, but I suspect not the UK.

Is this what you perceive to be the issue I'm raising? Try again. Talking about the Russia - Ukraine "issue" is not what I was highlighting there. Want to take another stab at what I was highlighting about it?

Same question. What was the issue I was raising? Being a journalist and speaking freely, I'm obviously in favor of. So what was I pointing out when I highlighted those segments and made the connection I made?

I have as much sympathy for him as I’d have for Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan.

He’s constantly platforming Scott Ritter about nazis in Ukraine. No journalistic integrity, checking background, attempts at balance, he just talks to people who support his worldview uncritically…I wouldn’t be surprised in the middle of his torrent of bullshit he threatened anyone and now is faced with what he said.

Freedom of the press, freedom of speech really are under attack. The state is cracking down and escalating, to try and stop people from speaking out against our government’s complicity in genocide.

Mind saying why? No I don’t want to watch a video to find out.

He is analysing hamas videos of attacking idf soldier. I don’t think it’s justify the arrest

solrize ,

Thanks!

This is the “article”:

British journalist Richard Medhurst said on social media platform X that he was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act. Medhurst said he was accused of “expressing an opinion or belief that is supported by the proscribed organisation”. He was released after being held for nearly 24 hours, but said he was severely mistreated by British officers. Medhurst said he felt targeted due to speaking out on the situation in Palestine.
