Substack 1st anniversary, statistics, reader survey, and a new video
So far, good progress and no censorship at all
My Substack is growing a lot faster than I anticipated, and we've hit 2000 2100. It took about one year, as my first post was 11th October 2021:

There are now many right wing and liberal political parties in Europe that also agree that immigration has not worked, do they know the Emil’s, the Murray’s, the Lynn’s? I don’t think so.
