Carlson on UK war and internment (TCN 2026)

Tucker Carlson (TCN, 27 Sep 2026, 8.5 min) reacts to a GB News clip in which Fabian Society ex-chair Paul Richards said Britain 'would have to lock a few people up' (pro-Russian voices) and look at conscription, and Jacob Rees-Mogg cited the Napoleonic-era suspension of habeas corpus. Carlson's historical anchor is Regulation 18B, the 1940 internment of Mosley's BUF.
