TiL from TiBB: an awful lot of people don't actually understand what the right to free speech is.

Hint: it is not the right to say whatever you want, whenever you want, without consequences and it never has been. Not ever.

Non-abusive opinions that are in disagreement with the thinking of some left leaners do not equate to speech not entitled to be heard.

Some seem very confused between disagreement and opinion, however unpopular with some, and the type of speech not suitable for public expression.

Where would we be without a bit of balance!

Who mentioned my views?... these are the decisions made by student bodies in universities, what I'm saying is if the speakers could be seen to be breaking hate laws then it wouldn't be very good for the image of the uni to host them would it?
Free speech is free speech and hate speech is hate speech, they are clearly defined in law.

Yes, it's how I respond when someone is too lazy to form a reasoned response so they just throw some random acronym at me.

Bang on Right TS

But if I walked into a University
with my big USA made Trump Jacket
would the "left wing fools"
chuck drink on me?
I think we need to, do this with
covert 4k Cameras.
And stereo mics all hidden.


Perfect for a show on Ch4HD , Ch5HD, Sky1HD
& SkyAtlantic4K (via SkyQ only.)
