Toby Young: Government Surveillance and Free Speech Battles
“We have to stop it, and we won't be able to stop it as long as the various levels of government are throwing the blame back and forth instead of saying, gee, we did this.”
Ever wondered if someone’s watching your every online move? Toby Young, a vocal critic of lockdowns and an advocate for free speech, found out the hard way. In this eye-opening episode, Trish Wood sits down with Toby to discuss how the UK government monitored his posts and articles that questioned public policies. It's a chilling reminder of the lengths authorities might go to silence dissent.
But that's not all—Trish also shares a deeply personal story about the tragic murder of her friend, CBC radio journalist Michael Finlay, who was attacked by a stranger in broad daylight. This incident raises urgent questions about the mental health crisis and its links to violence. If you're interested in topics like government surveillance, censorship, and the often-overlooked mental health issues, this episode offers a raw and honest discussion.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader societal issues, it’s a must-listen for anyone concerned about freedom and safety in today's world.
