The fact that the Tory gutter press has now managed to successfully suppress him with their near-constant hyperbole and slander is not a good thing. It's not a "win" for anyone, except those who want us all mindlessly subscribing to the status quo and don't want alternative viewpoints on anything at all to be in the spotlight for too long.
That applies whether you agree with anything he had to say or not.

I agree with that. hes inquisitive, he prods and pushes a little and asks a few questions and pontificates...but hes no Michael moore and is alight years behind john pilger etc but He at least starts conversations, especially amongst idealistic students... My beef is he doesn't listen and doesn't have the backbone to offer his own opinions or suggestions...his narrative on drugs was also confusing. was he actually saying we need to legalise them all and regulate and that would be safer? I could never quite work it out.
