J4S: British Police Detain and Interrogate Journalist for Grayzone Reporting (w/ Kit Klarenberg)

In today's episode, co-hosts Diego Ramos and Max Jones talk to journalist Kit Klarenberg about his detainment by British police at London Luton Airport, in which he was invasively interrogated about many things, but mainly for his extremely revealing and courageous reporting for the, hilariously according to Wikipedia, first ever “far-left and far-right” publication, The Grayzone. The conversation was as frightening as it was captivating, as Kit astutely broke down the devolvement of the United Kingdom into an Orwellian state, and the increasingly repressive measures its government is taking to silence and persecute dissidents — effectively imposing self-censorship and state censorship in blatantly authoritarian ways.
