bs3 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Whatever happened to free speech in this country. I fear we are heading towards an authoritative regime in this country with young students/people closing down debates they don’t agree with. The irony is that these people who shut down debate claim to be anti-fascist but the reality is there are in fact are acting in a way similar to the fascist of the 1930s.

Jacob-Rees Mog an elected MP and the Feminist Jermaine Geer are two people who have had to cancel speaking at universities due to protest from students, this is not good for the future of democracy in this country. While these protests are going on by social warrior brigade the silent majority are voting in demigods like Trump because large sections of his constituents feels they don’t have a voice and are not listen to.

Everyone should be invited to the marketplace of ideas, people should be allowed to make their own minds up. As you say, people like Trump get elected when stuff like that happens.

But equally if this was city and we had allowed his booking by mistake (incidentally it also looks like Icke used a 3rd party to book) I would want them to cancel the booking. Everyone should have freedom of speech but if you are the one giving them the platform, then it also looks like you endorse those views on some level.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I don't mind admitting that I agree with some of what Icke says, the stuff about the elite, the cabals and their nefarious activities. He backs up what he says with 20 odd years of meticulous research. And he's anti-Zionism not anti-Semitic, a big difference. Nut surprised Manchester gave him the heave-ho, but I do worry about the erosion of free speech. Not a good road to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 It’s not about free speech. He’s free to express his views from his own property or on a street corner, if within the law. its about hiring a private property for a book launch and not telling the hirer who is actually appearing, which sounds deliberately deceitful. Manchester United are free to refuse to hire out their facilities to people they deem unsuitable surely? What if it was BNP or KKK or whatever? Man Utd have rights too. Well done Man Utd.
