He looks a bit cross.
I think it's plays into his narrative and backs up what he's saying.
First paragraph. Yes. That’s why he’s so deliriously happy tonight.
Well I don't think anyone would be happy, but one things for sure he'll be using now as an example and rightly so.
Always the victim. Never to blame.
What would he be to blame for here, if it were someone on the left they'd have been a victim too, of cancel culture and it would have been equally as ridiculous and worrying.
Exactly.
The hard right always do it, they've had all the power for a decade and a half in this country yet apparently leftist elites are pulling all the strings and if only these nasty wokey woke would leave them alone everything would be a glorious new upland.

Truss and Braverman have made a career out of paranoid conspiracies, they're geniuses really and the commie leftist traitors are the ones to blame. Look it's them! Over there, bloody wokey wokeists trying to cancel us! I know you can't see them but they we're here honest! Get them!

Haven’t the Free Speech brigade been trying to ban peace marches in London?

It's almost as if he has no consistency of argument and is a populist prick who plays to his crowd.Haven’t the Free Speech brigade been trying to ban peace marches in London?
That vaguely rings a bell.
Nigel Farage calls for pro-Palestine march November 11 to be blocked
Nigel Farage said the police should follow the example of officers in Germany and crack down on the protesters.
Braverman as well.

That's different, the Palestine march has focus and a simple message to stop murdering innocent people so needs to stop, whereas the RWNJ wankathon is a vague populist soundbite jamboree of dangerous hate fuelled confusion and bullying attempts to paint society's weakest ,poorest and downtrodden as the enemy, so that's fine.Braverman as well.
It’s almost as if she’s never called for powers to stop peaceful protests.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Suella Braverman: 'It's a real shame thought police shut down conference'
Former home secretary Suella Braverman gives her reaction to the news that the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels will be shut down.
The right punching down and the left punching up, always someone to blame, no one has any solutions.Hypocrisy at its finest……Politics at its finest
Once you nail your colours to the political mast you inevitably find yourself at the opposite ends of the same circle…
Its not good to try and suppress free speech, that's how Nazi Germany started
Going? We're already there mate, trans being the most obvious example, but I can think of others.
The difference is probably that a prescribed terrorist group is being supported and chants that are seen to call for the the elimination of Israel happen...Haven’t the Free Speech brigade been trying to ban peace marches in London?

Nigel Farage calls for pro-Palestine march November 11 to be blocked
Nigel Farage said the police should follow the example of officers in Germany and crack down on the protesters.
Well yeah, but it'll only get more widespread.
Another attempt to argue that calls for a ceasefire and the end to the slaughter of innocent children are the same as supporting Hamas. They aren’t.
So basically if someone has a different point of view to you on any topic that’s interfering with your right to free speech.
At the risk of being reductive I would argue that Nazi Germany started as part of the fallout from WW1, when a massive hole in Government led to the rise of unstable revolutionary factions in an environment where small, extremist factions could also take form. Hitler's National Socialist movement was one of these small factions. Because the revolution of 1918-19 fizzled out, uncompleted, the Weimar regime lost the support of the centre-left democrats who had been at the core of that revolution and the space was filled by right and left wing extremists who made gains in the 1920 election. From that point on, in a country that suffered massively in the great depression, the Republic was doomed. That is the environment in which the germ of Nazism grew. In 21st Century Belgium there is a stable and liberal-democratic Government and a peaceful environment in which the authorities are rightly suppressing that far-right seed. We don't want it to flourish in today's Europe and removing its opportunity to make its case is the right thing to do.
I see you're desperate to shoehorn in a completely different argument into the thread, rather than discuss the actual topic.
The thread is about free speech. And hypocrisy.
The thread, incase you can't read, is called 'good man' with one of our LW posters praising a political conference being shut down.

I just thought it was ironic that, on a thread about free speech, you were trying to dictate what could, and could not, been talked about.The thread, incase you can't read, is called 'good man' with one of our LW posters praising a political conference being shut down.
I have highlighted the difference between your examples which I've admitted isn't completely clear cut, whereas this is.
Everyone of sane mind have come out and said its wrong and the mayor was wrong and hence its been overturned.

Except I haven't done that, only mentioned what this thread is about and responded to your random linking of it to protests and said its a completely different type of issue.
It’s not random at all! It’s exactly the same issue! Free speech. Especially when the politicians involved are the same people who have tried to take free speech away from people they disagree with.
No.
Essentially you’re arguing that the free speech of some hard right politicians is far more important than the free speech of tens/hundreds of thousands of people calling for a ceasefire.
They and you should be consistent.
Where was the outrage from Farage etc when there were calls for bans of protest marches in London? Cancel culture my arse.
Who are you and what have you done with Mex?
Are you that thick not to realise that 500,000 terrorist supporters marching in our capital is a bit more dangerous than a conference of a few middle aged politicians
I don't think half a million people marching and asking for a ceasefire / end to killing is support for terrorism. Maybe it is in your world Phil.
I think you watch too much BBC old boy
Don’t worry. He’s perfectly safe.
Yep, reputable, world-respected news sources all the way for me. They have the edge over "The Tommy Robinson Video Diaries".
I have never watched a Tommy Robinson video diary, what's it about?
Would you shut down a Nazi conference? No? Is that the free speech you want? I would suggest you look to history. Every one of our forefathers who fought in WW2 - Tory or Labour voter - would have it shut down. I know that my grandfather - Tory voter - who was in Germany at the end of the War, would have shot any German who attempted to stand on a far-right platform.The thread, incase you can't read, is called 'good man' with one of our LW posters praising a political conference being shut down.
