Brian Rose's Real Deal - Freedom Of Speech: Censorship Is Real & It's Killing Us | #BrianForMayor

This week's topic is particularly close to my heart. As you may already be aware, I recently announced my candidacy to be your next Mayor of London and one of my foremost policies is Freedom Of Speech. The fight for Digital Freedom of Speech has been thrown into sharp relief during 2020 as social media technology giants, regulators and governments get involved in what citizens can say online. Free Speech and a Free Press are the most basic civil rights, which have been guaranteed for hundreds of years, and are fundamental to the democratic process. Wars have been fought over it, and people have died to protect these unalienable rights. I believe we all have the right to make up our own minds, to think about what we like, to say what we think, and most importantly to share our ideas with other people. Ideas, after all, are the currency of the present. In today's episode, I will be talking about why my beliefs around Freedom of Speech and the importance of broadcasting unedited, unscripted, uncensored content, as well as highlighting why the fight for Digital Freedom of Speech is so important. With incredible guests including John Cleese, Lord Michael Farmer and Dave Rubin all talking passionately and eloquently about their views on Freedom of Speech and the role of Silicon Valley tech giants as the self-appointed, de facto new censors, I am excited to share with you today's episode and invite you to join the fight for these most basic rights. Our Most Fundamental & Crucial Human Right This week I'm particularly keen to hear your thoughts on: Do you think Censorship is wrong and why? Who fact checks the "Fact Checkers"? Do you think as an adult you have the right to consume any information you want? Do you trust social media companies to tell the truth? Do we need better leadership?

John Cleese - Creativity: How Modern Culture Has Stifled Comedy & What Is "Funny" | London Real

BUILD YOUR DREAM BUSINESS IN 8 WEEKS: https://londonreal.tv/biz/ 2021 SUMMIT TICKETS: https://londonreal.tv/summit/ NEW MASTERCLASS EACH WEEK: http://londonreal.tv/masterclass-yt LATEST EPISODE: https://londonreal.link/latest John Cleese is an iconic British comedian, actor, screenwriter, author, and founding member of Monty Python and now he returns with his new book 'Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide', which explores the skill of imaginative thinking and explains how we can all develop our creative unconscious. John's early success came from Monty Python's movies such as 'Life Of Brian', and 'The Meaning Of Life', and 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail'. He also starred as a host of characters in Monty Python's Flying Circus; a sketch show which went on to tour across the world with some of John's stand-out characters featured in 'Argument Clinic', 'Ministry of Silly Walks', and 'Dead Parrot sketch'. One of John's stand-out pieces of work was 'A Fish Called Wanda', a comedy heist film which John won a BAFTA for in the category of Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1988. Following the success with his university classmates, John went on to create one of the most iconic characters in British comedy in Basil Fawlty from 'Fawlty Towers', for which he won the 1980 BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance. With a television career spanning six decades, John has had his fair share of run-ins with censorship and cancel culture to a point where the BBC recently removed his Fawlty Towers episode titled 'The Germans', originally aired back in 1975, because it contained a so-called racial slur. Another incident included Monty Python's 'Life Of Brian' being banned from cinemas in the UK in 1979 because of its blasphemy where a passionate debate unfolded with the Bishop of Southwark on BBC's 'Friday Night, Saturday Morning'. John is an advocate for writing jokes about anything, but believes it is becoming much harder to be creative with political correctness – a subject he believes has gone too far to where any form of criticism of an individual or group is labeled as cruel.
