If you think censorship doesn’t exist in the UK, here are snapshots of messages sent (blue) and received (grey) by me on Twitter since 2012. There are, of course, many more such exchanges not on Twitter. The messages are from/to journalists or politicians who have shown an interest in the HSBC fraud story, and where the story did not go any further. In many cases I met with the person concerned. I have kept the messages anonymous as I do not wish to implicate anyone showing an interest, and am grateful for the efforts some have made to get the story out. The problem is lawyers and threats from HSBC regarding advertising or legal action. [HSBC agreed to pay out £4m in January 2017. Just another £96m to go]
I hope I have not identified anyone. If so, please let me know as soon as possible and I will correct it.
