He then got to the crux of the matter.
“It’s also the publication day for the paperback of my book Wake Up, which is a clarion call for a defence of freedom of speech and the right to have an opinion and an end to this ridiculous cancel culture that is currently wrecking our society.
“Let’s get back to what made Britain great, the ability to disagree with each other and then go and have a pint at the pub, not try and wreck each other’s lives for a difference of opinion.”

He then told his followers where they could get his book at a “dirt cheap” price.
“If you want to buy the paperback and show your support for this campaign then go to Tesco, Asda, WH Smith or Sainsbury’s or go online at Amazon and you’ll get it at dirt cheap prices.
