The War on Free Speech: Adriatic Edition

Welcome to this week's edition of The Mark Steyn Show, filmed live at sea before an audience of Mark Steyn Cruisers from across the planet.

In this week's episode, Mark discusses the decline of free speech around the world with singer-songwriter Tal Bachman, Spectator Australia editor Alexandra Marshall, and Canadian author (and sometimes Mark Steyn Show guest host) Andrew Lawton.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Mark and his guests discuss self-censorship, cancel culture, Big Tech, and the media, among other facets of the war on free speech.

~Many viewers have asked how they can support Mark's lawsuit in the English High Court against the partial and totalitarian UK media censor Ofcom. There are several ways, including:

a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;

b) buying a loved one a SteynOnline gift certificate; or

c) ordering a copy of Mark's new book The Prisoner of Windsor.

As we have noted, the post-Steyn GB News will not be standing with Steyn and Naomi Wolf in court. But the "chilling effect" of Ofcom on public discourse is far worse than Canada under Section 13 or Australia under Section 18C, so battle must be joined - even though neither Naomi nor Mark is in great shape. Indeed, Naomi has been having a worse time of it than Mark had even in the totally execrable University of Vermont Medical Center. He is very grateful to his excellent doctors at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal for doing everything the Vermont crapsters failed to do and getting his haemoglobin up to sufficient levels to make it to the Mark Steyn Cruise.

~Among the benefits of Mark Steyn Club membership is that you can enjoy The Mark Steyn Show in any medium you desire: video, audio or text. So, if you find Mark and his guests more convivial in non-visual form, please log-in to our Audio and Transcript versions.

~And finally, as noted above, The Prisoner of Windsor is out and available. For the Kindle edition around the world, please click below:
