Britain is a despotism. See the case of Graham Phillips.

I learnt about him from the famous English journalist Peter Hitchens who has said, 'In my unending quest for unpopularity, I return to the cause of Graham Phillips, the only British citizen with no human rights at all. Phillips is, er, hard to like. But HMG's treatment of him is despotic and indefensible.' 

Peter Hitchens, a critic of the way he thinks Russia was provoked by the Americans, wondered in 2024 if he would be next but he has been safe so far.

This is his Mr Phillips' Wikipedia entry.

Graham Phillips (born 1979) is a British blogger and video blogger, sanctioned by the UK government in July 2022 and again in April 2025, for producing and publishing pro-Russian propaganda regarding the war in Ukraine.


Following the latest sanctions and legal action, he is currently identified as follows:

• Political Asylum in Russia: In October 2024, Phillips was granted political asylum in Russia, where he continues to report from the Russian-occupied Donbas region.

• War Crimes Investigation: As of November 2025, Phillips is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police War Crimes Team for alleged breaches of the Geneva Conventions, including a 2022 video featuring pigs devouring the remains of dead Ukrainian soldiers and his interview with British prisoner of war Aiden Aslin.

• Status as a "Propagandist": The UK High Court upheld his sanctions in January 2024, describing him as "for all practical purposes, a Russian asset" whose content glorifies the invasion.

• Media Ban & Assets Freeze: Due to the sanctions, his YouTube channel was shut down in 2023, and his financial assets in the UK were frozen

I quote again these stirring words which were the conclusion to Stanley Baldwin's last broadcast to the nation as Prime Minister in 1937, when Britain was a civilised, free country.

"And what is her [Britain's] secret? Freedom, ordered freedom, within the law, with force in the background and not in the foreground: a society in which authority and freedom are blended in due proportion, in which state and citizen are both ends and means. It is an empire organised for peace and for the free development of the individual in and through an infinite variety of voluntary associations. It neither deifies the state nor its rulers."
