Trump and his minions have often scolded Britain over freedom of speech, pointing to America's wonderful First Amendment as proof that they (apparently) are the only county to have it.
Despite that First Amendment, Trump is now claiming that any broadcast critical of him is “illegal”. Good job he doesn’t live in Britain, where politicians and leaders are routinely skewed with cutting satire. Anyone remember Spitting Image a few decades ago and their relentless assaults on Margaret Thatcher (amongst others)? Poor little snowflake Trump would have melted after the first episode.
I’m so happy to see Spitting Image is still going strong and just fearlessly lampooned Trump and King Charles, Netenyahu, and Keir Starmer in one episode, with no fear of being cancelled.
Who has free speech now?
