"Magid Magid branded Donald Trump a 'wasteman' and said the US president was now banned from entering Sheffield when he visits the UK on a tour from July 13
The mayor of Sheffield said he was declaring the day as Mexico Solidarity Day Magid Magid does not have the power to ban anyone from the city but was determined to make his feelings towards Mr Trump known in public " Silly twat :joker: |

So they can protest against free speech in a democratic society all they like but it will achieve nothing but expose them as a bunch of foot stampers determined to get their way. They won’t of course. Apart from anything else most are sick to death of them now and they just undermine their cause even more. I agree it has been a fun read in more ways than one! :laugh: |

You've protested freedom of speech. It's made you look super pc and snowflakey. Your second paragraph literally describes you in this thread. |
I don't get how opposing trump is opposing free speech?...

Answer me this... why are they ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS proposals of good, progressive, positive or beneficial that these calls of PC and snowflake are used a a reaction to? Think hard, I can't think of one, any positive reaction or suggestion would be virtue signalling, which is effectively speaking your mind in a fair, rational and unbiased manner. So if being un pc is so great why does it only advocate things that are in a civilised society so damaging to so many already marginalised groups? |

In the grand scheme of things it's a balloon, they are a group of protesters who disagree with him/his policies. They can't stop him doing or saying anything.... he may be a representation for some as the embodiment of regression, he's sexist and prejudiced and doesn't appear to enjoy the notion of the free world. For people like me who have known nothing but the advancement of rights and protections in the west the thought of someone potentially removing or rewinding that is quite unnerving. People like stability, trump is unpredictable we have no clue what he will do yet, not do other world leaders, you can feel that. With trump in charge things just do not feel very balanced right now. I would say this blimp is a reaction to that. |

In a civilised society you don’t undermine the rights of one group to accommodate another. Tell me this if PC is so righteous why is there so much discord and opposition to it in every Western country. Calling them all racists and bigots is far too simplistic and just demonstrates not only an inability to listen to alternative views but a desire to simply shut them up and force them to tow the line. Doesn’t sound very civilised to me. |

I'm not at all bothered. It's freedom of speech and it is much more likely to effect the political atmosphere there than here... would just be another headline in a never-ending news cycle for us. Anyway, Trump eats this stuff up and it only emboldens him... remember the lesson: Do Not Feed The Troll from your Welcome to The Internet pamplet... I feel like it should be in the school curriculum next to a caption with a picture of Trump grinning in front of his float. Oh well, parenting ftw.

Everyone is capable of forming an opinion, who are the 'they'? if you are standing in my shoes you are 'they'... it's just someone who has a difference of opinion to you. I wouldn't say however that what you consider PC is that powerful, when you consider that much of the mainstream media and the govt are currently quite anti PC, so in all seriousness how can they be calling all the shots? By the same token as the racist and bigot accusation the snowflake and virtue signaler label is counter to that isn't it's no better and no worse.... However, to be accused of bigotry you have to have suggested something that marginalises, degrades or debases someone or group... to be accused of virtue signalling, well to me that kind of just means you made a comment that wasn't derogatory and was possibly helpful or informative in some way. I fail to see how it is seen or construed as a negative? There is so much discord atm because there is a widening gap between left thinkers and right thinkers, and some countries are lurching further and further right, Poland, Hungary, Italy, ..and I think sadly us too. It creating a gulf within Europe and here too. I think we are in danger of losing our civility as our rights and protections are eroded, that is how I see this country going sadly, and as we enter brexit I don't trust this govt to respect those rights and protections. That's why divisive politics are worrying as the saying goes 'divide and conquer' this is a time when the UK needs to be united and we are more diametrically opposed than ever! To everyone... the rest of the EU, the Scots, the poor, refugees literally everyone :/ The one thing that unites us at the moment is the NHS, it's like a religion in itself, a shining light of good that we can all relate to and be proud of. There is literally nothing else. |
