Clarkson. Finished?

Not all of us sit on the computer and scan every image to see if it’s genuine

I took a quick glance and saw 3 cunts together

I know what you mean.

I suppose the point I was trying to make (albeit rather flippantly) was that, yes, we're all entitled to our opinion, but far too often people use the 'free speech' argument as a get of jail free card to spew hatred, then get pissy when people call them out on it.

Free speech isn't an "argument", it's a right and if you speak hatred then so be it, as long as you stand behind it and don't hide behind aliases so people know how hateful your thoughts. Banning it just gives it a meaning beyond it's true worth. It should be called out as hatred by those who disagree and/or ignored. I'm all for people saying what they thought of what Clarkson said and they strongly disagree but I do think he has the right to say it. If people disagree with the Sun publishing it then don't read the Sun anymore if you feel that strongly and don't click on the myriad "links" that generate cash for the authors. Prescribing what people can and can't say is a slippery slope.

I broadly agree. I'm not sure anybody, including myself, is advocating for the banning of free speech, simply far more accountability.

If you say horrendous shit, people should rightly call you out on it.

You're not being 'cancelled'.

You're not having your rights infringed upon.

You're not a victim of political correctness gone mad.

You're not being picked on by woke culture.

You're simply being called out for saying horrendous shit and for being a bit of a ****.

That still doesn’t help the actual victim of the abuse

Are you sure that’s genuine?

Have you inspected the colours and measurements of them jackets ? Are the shoulder widths right? Is the beanie hat the correct size as Ferguson head should be 55cm , do a right click and check the origin.

Free speech doesn’t exist and isn’t a right, different societies and countries draw different lines some are more free than others. You don’t have the freedom to racially abuse somebody in the Uk just as an example. That’s a good thing.
