I actually get really wound up just thinking about it John To the point I can’t say what I really want to say I sometimes think it’s best just to go along with it all or it makes you ill. World is so fucking plastic ....all reality has gone through the window Or avoid the things that piss you off. I am a Support Worker and the guys had Ant and Dec on the TV, earlier. They were being their usual inane selves, dancing to a fucking atrocious singer, and it cut to several "celebrities", one of whom made her name watching the television(Gogglebox). She really is plastic! 😁 We are told what to think, and anyone who is remotely Conservative in opinion is labelled a Nazi. We aren't even allowed to think something is fucked up anymore. We are being told there is no such thing as gender, for fuck's sake. I was a kid in the 70's and I knew who was a boy and who was a girl. Life was simple. Now you have a woman? with a beard winning the Eurovision Song Contest, while wearing a dress, and you can't think it's even a bit odd! If you don't want to be the ethnic minority in your own country and say anything against mass immigration or Islam you are virtually shunned. Admitting you voted for Brexit is akin to wearing a "Jimmy likes 'em young" tee shirt. The whole fucking thing drives me crazy. It's got to the point where I avoid the news, or political programs, because I know they will be so biased. Question Time is unwatchable, lately. I don't know what the answer is, but I long for simpler times. BBC radio recently promoted one of "her" "events" Advert after advert after advert
Good rant btw

I wonder what repercussions are faced by those who protest outside courts expressing support for the muslim nonces, and intimidating/threatening the victims and their families? Naz Shah retweeted a (spoof) post saying abuse victims should shut their mouths for the sake of diversity but she's still a member of labour.
As Douglas Murray has said, the state are brilliant when it comes to dealing with the secondary problems in our society, such as reactionaries like Tommy Robinson and his supporters. When it comes to dealing with the genuine issue, the root cause, they are so paralysed, so utterly incompetent that it's hard not to feel it's a huge conspiracy.
We are well and truly in the midst of dark, Orwellian times and, regardless of political leanings, if you don't recognise this and see the sickness that has emerged then you can only be viewed, regretfully, as part of the problem.

I enjoy quite a bit of Jordan Peterson's stuff. There is a debate on political correctness which is good viewing.
My issue is when people want to claim that their freedom of speech seems to give them the right to stop others from exercising theirs.
Justin Trudeau said during his campaign for example that he doesn't personally agree withthe Hijab, but he'll defend peoples right to wear it. Absolutely true. I'll also defend those who believe that it is wrong and oppressive for the reasons they have. The moment, though, that o e side believes that their opinion should compell others to do things that fit their belief system... No, thats not right.
Could quite easily include the James McClean 'issue' in this...

It's getting ridiculous if the facts are as presented in this incident. It seems as though you are not allowed to contact your MP unless you agree with him/ her. ( and as though the Police haven't got better things to do) .........
Linda Banahan, 64, wrote to Antoinette Sandbach’s local Conservative association accusing her of treachery after she defied the Prime Minister by backing rebel amendments in the Commons over Brexit.
In an email, which she copied to Remainer Miss Sandbach, 49, the retired careers adviser warned that she could no longer vote for her because of her lack of loyalty to Theresa May and the party.
But Mrs Banahan, who volunteers on the chaplaincy team at a local hospital, said she was left suffering from anxiety and high blood pressure after Miss Sandbach sent a ‘heavy-handed’ response warning that she had passed the message to police.
Mrs Banahan last night accused Miss Sandbach of ‘seeking to shut down freedom of speech by reporting emails she does not like to the police’.

Absolutely unworthy of anyone seeking to govern the country or the Labour party. You can see the direction of travel from the recent treatment of Labour MPs.

I saw a lefty commentator correctly saying on twitter that there is no value in harassing Rees-Mogg’s children. Then I read the comments underneath which were just depressing. Some examples - none of the kids were ‘harassed’ otherwise the cops would have restrained them - don’t join in this faux outrage - JRM kept them there for a stunt - the entire thing looked like a set up - propaganda for far-right Tommy Robinson supporters - spawn of the devil - no decent father would expose their children to that situation - there was nothing wrong with what the activist said, his kids will find out anyway They’re supposed to be the ‘tolerant’ left but instead they’re acting like deranged conspiracy nut-jobs. Kinder, gentler politics my arse.

DV8 use Roy Brown's words about the UN verbatim......he talks about challenging the UN’s resolution ‘Combating Defamation of Religion,’ which prevents discussing human rights abuses in relationship to Sharia law.

^ Roads "appear" to be leading to some big shit going down if these notions continue unchecked--when is the question. I'm by no means of the belief "the sky is falling," but my view of the future is not as bright as it used to be or at least of the freedom within that future.

We do seriously seem to be in an age when free speech is under threat. The rule seems to be " conform or be censored( or possibly worse with the new laws). Seems to me that while we've never been able to always have the right to say what we want, we do seem to have entered an era where ' others' decide.

Suzanne Evans is very mild mannered and considerate. It really is getting ridiculous. I guess that the problem lies in the fact that Twitter is an option in volunteer private system it has in fact captured a particular market, and the decisions on who to ban / guidelines on content can be interpreted subjectively and applied inconsistently, even though they are published and form part of the user agreement. ( There does seem to be some confusion about whether she has in fact been banned)
