the right to free speech is fine but it also comes with responsibility as the court case showed. Once the right start spreading "woke" lies aided and abetted by a supplicant media then it is hard to fight back.I am an Anti Fascist, but I worry that that this current tiny Tommy ten names episode will martyr him and will gain more support from the idiotic racist right wing.
They are attacking us on the left as being the people who hate free speech, that is a very powerful argument allayed with this nonsensical "woke" imaginarium that they constantantly spout.
i believe that tiny tommy ten names has every right to speak, i would never want to curtail his rights, he might speak shit in my opinion, but if he wants to talk shit that is fair enough. i can speak a right load of bolloxs when i want.
what is really worrying is the left have lost their claim to be patriotic through these wokeism attacks
patriotism is a good thing if channelled correctly, patriotism is a love of ones country and its people (orwell wrote that) and wanting the best for your country should be all of our desires, it should not be limited to the likes of tiny tommy and his nationalists.
i will post about nationalism tomorrow, im off to bed.
Amen brother. Every word.I am an Anti Fascist, but I worry that that this current tiny Tommy ten names episode will martyr him and will gain more support from the idiotic racist right wing.

I think we've actually arrested a lot more folk in the last year than Russia has for things they have said / posted, but I suppose that may be because they don't dare over there.When these people talk about 'free speech', what they really mean is they want to call people 'n******' and 'p****' like they did back in the day and not be rebuked for it. (You can still use these words privately, just not in public or employment situations.)
You may call Starmer a cnut. You can criticise him and his government in almost every conceivable way as long as you don't include protected characteristics.
If there was no free speech, you'd be in a gulag for doing that. Try living in Russia and criticising Putin in public. Try living in North Korea and criticising Kim Jong Un. See how long you last.
Exactly! It's a dangerous business to criticise Putin.I think we've actually arrested a lot more folk in the last year than Russia has for things they have said / posted, but I suppose that may be because they don't dare over there.
Hang on - didn't he raise that sum in the week before he went to trial?
