‘Orwell would be proud’: UK investigating journalists under NEW ‘non-crime’ law



Free speech might be going strong in the United States, but the U.K. is only becoming more Orwellian by the day.

U.K. police have not only investigated a writer for a deleted post and a journalist for a tweet she posted in the wake of the pro-Palestinian protests, but also jailed a woman for nine months for livestreaming allegedly racist comments.

“Allison Pearson is the journalist; she’s actually just been let off by the Essex police. That story specifically was that a year ago in November, just after the October 7 massacre, she was in London and at a pro-Israel event and mistook a flag, which she though was a Hamas flag, which was actually a Pakistani, Imran Khan, his political party flag, and she said, ‘Oh, they’re Jew-haters,’” Winston Marshall tells Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report.”


Pearson deleted the tweet once her mistake was pointed out to her, but that didn’t stop the police from spending a year investigating her.

“She’s investigated, and we have this thing called a ‘non-crime hate incident,’” Marshall continues, while Rubin interjects, “Orwell would be proud.”

“Orwell was moderate compared to what’s going on,” Marshall argues. “A ‘non-crime hate incident,’ this isn’t a real crime. It’s if someone perceives you to be spreading hatred, and how they define hatred is different in every bloody country.”

“If someone perceives you to be offensive to someone, even if you’re not the person being offended, you can log a non-crime hate incident,” he continues, adding, “This week, a 9-year-old was booked by the police for calling another classmate a ‘r*tard’.”

Ellen DeGeneres packs her bags for the UK and says she’s 'never coming back'



Several Hollywood stars threatened to leave the United States if Donald Trump won the election. How many of them will prove good on their ultimatums remains to be seen.

However, one star who is most certainly on her way out of the country is Ellen DeGeneres. And she’s not just leaving; she’s “never coming back.”

Dave Rubin and co-hosts Winston Marshall and Isabel Brown discuss the television star’s exodus.

“She can't live in her Montecito house worth a hundred million dollars anymore with all of her servants. She's moving to the U.K.,” says Dave. “I am fairly certain that the jihadists running the streets of London love lesbians.”

“Please keep her,” sighs Marshall, who’s from the U.K. “Things are bad enough.”

In all seriousness though, liberal hysteria following Trump’s win has grown to comical levels.

“I read the other day that a cruise company is actually offering a four-year cruise for almost $200,000 at over 400 ports of entry for you to temporarily escape the country while Trump is president,” says Brown.

Further, it’s ironic DeGeneres is specifically fleeing to the U.K. where free speech “is not a guaranteed right.”

One would think that “talk show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres that are quite used to the protections of being able to say everything that's on [her] mind and to criticize the people in power” would appreciate our First Amendment, but apparently the U.K.’s Orwellian grip on speech is preferable, adds Brown.

Nancy Pelosi STILL claims the 2016 election was 'hijacked'?



Winston Marshall, who once played in the band Mumford & Sons, is no stranger to standing up for what he believes in.

Marshall was “canceled” for simply posting a link on social media to Andy Ngo’s book, "Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy" — and refused to apologize.

“All hell breaks loose. He’s no longer in the band, but he is now an incredible fighter for freedom across the pond in the U.K.,” Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" says before showing a clip of Marshall humiliating Nancy Pelosi at Oxford Union.

“Words have a tendency to change meaning. When I was a boy, 'woman' meant someone who didn’t have a c*ck,” Marshall began. “‘Populism’ has become a word used synonymously with ‘racists.’ We’ve heard ‘ethnonationalists,’ with ‘bigot,’ with ‘hillbilly,’ with ‘redneck,’ with ‘deplorables.’”

“January 6th has been mentioned, a dark day for America indeed. And I’m sure Congresswoman Pelosi will agree that the entire month of June 2020, when the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, was under siege and under insurrection by radical progressives, those too were dark days for America,” he continued.

Pelosi, who was seated nearby, decided to interrupt Marshall’s speech to say, “There is no equivalence there.”

“It is not like what happened on January 6th, which was an insurrection incited by the president of the United States,” she added confidently.

But Marshall didn’t let her get away with it.

“Today, particularly in America, the globalist-left have become the establishment. I suppose for Mrs. Pelosi to take this side of the motion, she would be arguing herself out of a job,” Marshall said, adding that Trump should have accepted the election in 2020.

“So should Hillary in 2016,” he continued. “And so too should Congresswoman Pelosi, instead of saying the 2016 election was quote ‘hijacked.’”

“It was,” Pelosi squeaked back before Marshall smiled, and the audience laughed.

“Nancy Pelosi is still claiming that the 2016 election was hijacked,” Rubin laughs.

Why Rolling Stone is TERRIFIED of Oliver Anthony: Former Mumford & Sons banjoist weighs in



If you spent any time on social media in the past week, then you probably scrolled by a video that has clearly captured the heart of America.

Country musician Oliver Anthony went from unknown to the top of the iTunes charts after his song, “Rich Men North of Richmond,” went viral overnight.

The song features lyrics like “Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothing to eat/And the obese milking welfare,” and “Well God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds/Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.”

Anthony also seems to hint at his disgust regarding Epstein and his associates with the line, “I wish politicians would look out for miners/And not just minors on an island somewhere.”

However, while the working class celebrated Anthony's truth-telling, the journalists got to work.

They attempted to paint Anthony as right-wing, despite the fact that he identifies as center and believes both sides have been ruined by corruption.

Winston Marshall, the former banjoist from Mumford & Sons, spoke to Glenn Beck about Anthony and his overnight success.

“The story of Oliver Anthony is absolutely wonderful. This is a kid, factory worker from Appalachian America, and he has currently got four songs in the top ten. Ten songs in the Top 25 iTunes chart, and all three of the top three.”

“This is a huge moment. These songs have been recorded on his phone. Just his beautiful voice and a guitar. It’s so authentic and it’s so real, and this blend is the counterculture that we’ve been looking for,” Marshall tells Glenn.

However, Marshall is much more excited than the journalists who are now trying to tear Anthony down.

“Instead of sharing in this excitement of a truly countercultural moment,” Marshall says that Rolling Stone and other outlets like it “look at who’s enjoying this music and they denigrate it accordingly.”

Canceled Mumford & Sons banjo player lets Bill Maher know how he responded to outrage mob: 'I retracted the apology'



Musician Winston Marshall, former banjoist and lead guitarist for Mumford & Sons, made it clear on Saturday that he has retracted the apology he issued when he fell victim to cancel culture two years ago.

What is the background?

In March 2021, Marshall became embroiled in controversy after he praised journalist Andy Ngo's book exposing Antifa as a violent extremist movement.

Because Marshall congratulated Ngo for his "important book," outraged progressives condemned Marshall as a Nazi and a "godd**** fascist." Moreover, alleged fans of Mumford & Sons threatened to stop listening to their music — unless they booted Marshall from the band.

Marshall responded to the controversy by apologizing for his endorsement and the "pain caused by the book."

"As a result of my actions I am taking some time away from the band to examine my blindspots," he said in a statement. "For now, please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behavior."

What happened now?

HBO host Bill Maher resurrected Marshall's canceling in a monologue on Friday in which he condemned the "woke revolution" and its colonization of the progressive left.

At one point, he invoked Marshall's canceling — and his "cringing apology"

"Pain? From a book? Unless he hit the drummer over the head with it. Whatever happened to, ‘I can read whatever the f*** I want?" Maher said before mocking Marshall, "Don’t worry, I’m a musician. It won’t happen again."

On Saturday, Marshall responded to Maher by noting that he has, in fact, retracted his apology.

"For the record, @billmaher, I retracted the apology and quit the band," Marshall wrote on Twitter.

\u201cFor the record, @billmaher, I retracted the apology and quit the band\u201d
— Winston Marshall (@Winston Marshall) 1675506015

Indeed, Marshall told Glenn Beck last year that he regrets ever apologizing in the first place.

"I felt like I was in some way excusing the behavior of Antifa by apologizing for criticizing it. Which then made me feel, well, then I'm as bad as the problem because I'm sort of agreeing that it doesn't exist," Marshall said.

Why Mumford & Sons co-founder Winston Marshall REGRETS apologizing to the WOKE MOB



Winston Marshall assumed that he would be playing banjo with Mumford & Sons well into his 60s, but one tweet — simply recommending Andy Ngo's book — was all it took for the woke mob to attack. At first, Winston apologized, saying he "was certainly open to not understanding the full picture." But after doing some research, not to mention a whole lot of soul-searching, his conscience "really started to bother" him.

On the latest episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Winston opened up about the entire scandal, what he discovered in the wake of his cancellation, and why he's decided to put truth over career.

"I looked deeper and deeper into the topic, and I realized I hadn't I hadn't been wrong [when] I'd called the author brave," Winston said of Ngo. "Not only was he brave, he'd been attacked by Antifa mobs in Oregon, and he was then attacked again ... he's unquestionably brave. And so my conscience really started to bother me ... I felt like I was in some way excusing the behavior of Antifa by apologizing for criticizing it. Which then made me feel, well, then I'm as bad as the problem because I'm sort of agreeing that it doesn't exist," he added.

"Another point, by the way, that I found it very frustrating, was that that left-wing media in this country and in my country don't even talk about [Antifa]. We can all see this footage. We see it online," Winston continued. "But they don't talk about it, and that's part of my, I think, interest initially in tweeting about Andy's book. Because I think people need to see what's going on, and it's a blind spot there. ... CNN and MSNBC, they don't cover it. Biden in his presidential election said it was just 'an idea' that didn't exist. I mean, did he not see the courthouse in Oregon being burnt down?"

Mumford & Sons co-founder says God gave him courage to leave the band after the left attacked him for praising conservative reporter’s book



Winston Marshall, Mumford & Sons co-founder, said that leaning into Christianity gave him the courage to leave the band.

Marshall announced in June that he was quitting the band in order to "speak freely" on political issues, revealing that if he were to remain with the band and "continue to self-censor," it would "erode" his integrity.

He took a hiatus from the band in March after intense backlash ensued following his praise for conservative journalist Andy Ngo's book, "Unmasked," apologizing for the apparently controversial remarks, and announcing he'd be taking time away to refocus.

What are the details?

In a new interview with former New York Times opinion writer Bari Weiss, Marshall said that God helped him grow strong enough to pull away from the band.

“I was talking a lot to my mom and dad with whom I'm very close and I think who love me and understand me better than anyone and could understand the complexity of the situation," Marshall said during the sit-down. “I was praying a hell of a lot."

Marshall added that he spent an increasing amount of time at a Catholic church near London, which prompted him to stand firm in his convictions.

“My faith has played a big part in this period of my life, and actually the week before making the final decision [to leave the band], I was pretty much planted in my local Catholic church around the corner from the house," he said. “It's a bloody big moment for me. That's probably why after a while, the apology was bothering me like it did, particularly that I'd felt like I'd been participating in that lie that we already talked about. I couldn't square those things in my conscience."

Marshall also jokingly pointed to rapper Kanye West and his own personal faith, and said, "Well, if I can quote the great American theologian of all time, Kanye West, he said, 'Fear God and you will fear nothing else.' And I love that because for me, I do fear God. And I think it's true. That if you fear God sincerely, then you won't fear worldly issues, worldly problems."

He added, “We're all fallen and recognizing that we make mistakes, bring back a bit of grace and good faith."
