Winston Marshall, formerly of Mumford and Sons, raises concerns about the UK's justice system, arguing it disproportionately penalizes individuals for exercising free speech, while providing leniency to marginalized groups. He voiced these worries during a notable exchange with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, focusing on issues like recent arrests under the Safe Access Zones Act and the imprisonment of citizens for protesting. Marshall highlights the urgency of his advocacy, stating his commitment to protecting free speech in Britain as crucial and impactful work he has ever undertaken.
"Frankly, Britain's in real trouble, and I feel very dedicated now to my country and trying to pull it back from the brink," Marshall told The Post Tuesday. "And so in that sense, it's the most meaningful work I've ever done in my life."
One grandfather, 61-year-old Peter Lynch, who was convicted of violent disorder after going to a protest last summer in front of a hotel used to house asylum seekers, died last October while serving a two year and eight month prison sentence.
