Brian May warns real DANGER of free speech erosion Everything depends on it WATCH – Express

The rock star has been very active on his social media during the lockdown. Mainly Brian May has been sharing micro-concerts to entertain fans, alongside updates on recovering from recent health problems including a minor heart attack. Additionally, the 72-year-old has shared a few opinions on current affairs, with his latest being on the importance of protecting free speech in the particularly hot political climate the world is in right now.

May wrote: The only thing we can change. Im a believer in the vital importance of a truthful and accurate history.

In George Orwells book 1984 the hero works in the Ministry of Truth - REWRITING history as recorded in Newspapers etc. So really, of course, its the Ministry of Lies.

The resulting propaganda is what is used to whip the populace up into a frenzy, in which they never question what they are being told.

I sense a real danger of the erosion of free speech in todays rush to tear down society as we know it.

The Queen guitarist said: I believe the only thing we can change is the future. And however much we may hate the past or dislike it or be ashamed of it, its not changeable.

And its essential, its vital that we dont try to change it or sweep anything under the carpet because with all its atrocities and evil deeds and mistakes, it has to be preserved intact and in truth otherwise our children and our childrens children will have no idea what we were trying to do in 2020.

Its vital that we know these things or humanity will never learn these lessons. Imagine trying to pretend that the Holocaust never existed, what a terrible mistake that would be.

Imagine that trying to pretend that the whole of the last war didnt exist or that all the appalling acts of torture [and] betrayal that the human race has committed, imagine if that was all covered up or changed in some way and we were no longer telling the truth.
