US Elections, Social Media And The Desperate Corporate Press

After a brief hiatus (circuit break?) due to work commitments, we’re back, and we’re raring to go.

We finish with a recent experience Nic has with being banned from Twitter for saying mean words to someone who was in on the joke and found it funny. Strange times.

July 30, 2020 Nic Elliott 0:34:33

The US has a different political structure as well as a culture with more emphasis on liberty – at least superficially.

It also has a Libertarian Party that fields candidates for President.

But what about the UK? Who is the closest we have to a Ron Paul and can they succeed anywhere in the current party system? Or are we stuck with Steve Baker…
