In 1763, the British government arrested 49 people for being connected to a newspaper article. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 The article criticised the King. They didn't name a single suspect. They just issued a warrant: Arrest everyone. Printers. Publishers. Anyone who touched it. Dragged from their homes. Thrown in cells. Most of them had nothing to do with it. The man they actually wanted was John Wilkes. MP. Journalist. By all accounts the ugliest man in England. But nobody could shut him up. They locked him in the Tower of London. He sued the government. And won. The court declared general warrants illegal. Never again could the government arrest unnamed people for unnamed crimes. That's because of him. So Parliament expelled him. The voters of Middlesex elected him again. Parliament expelled him again. The voters elected him again. A third time. Parliament threw him out a third time. Then they gave his seat to the man who LOST the election. "Wilkes and Liberty!" echoed across London. And across the Atlantic — American colonists named streets and towns after him. He still wasn't done. In 1771, it was illegal to report what MPs said in Parliament. The debates were secret. So Wilkes set a trap. He encouraged printers to publish the debates. Parliament tried to arrest them. The printers appeared before Wilkes.... Who was now a City magistrate. He set them free. Then arrested Parliament's messenger instead. Parliament backed down. The press has reported on Parliament ever since. One man gave us: freedom of the press. Protection from arbitrary arrest. The right of voters to choose their MP. The end of secret government...? His memorial reads: "A Friend of Liberty." 🇺🇸 He earned it. One man gave you the right to know what your government does. Help us tell the stories they never taught you: Be part of us Be Proud Of Us 🇬🇧
