On the 23rd of September, I filmed a debate with Michael Gove and Katharine Birbalsingh about immigration, integration, and British identity.
You haven't watched it yet, because The Spectator has banned the footage from being released.
The only reason given by The Spectator for why they broke our agreement, in writing, to provide me with the footage to post on my own YouTube channel and social media, is because "of decisions made by the senior editors."
This dispute is now in the hands of my lawyers. Thanks to the Bad Law Project for their help with this matter. The public are interested in this debate, and they deserve to see it.
But most importantly, this casts a cloud of doubt over the Spectator's stated commitment to free speech and debate — something Michael Gove reiterated in his closing remarks of the debate.
I would never have allowed The Spectator to intervene and moderate if I knew there was the remotest of possibilities that they could censor or try to gatekeep the footage.
If you want to see this footage for yourselves, you can make the Spectator aware via their social media channels, or by sending them an email registering your interest.
