So they proved his point. The powers that be silenced him for his opinion like any facist would. Had he have done the same thing with the Union flag he wouldn't have been silenced.

I agree Alf. Can't wait to hear how he's been silenced as he appears on tv, in print, and on radio over the coming days.

Ok, he was banned for his opinion. Still an act that goes against free speech.

The ban is more likely for posting a swastika than for messing about with the One Flag to be honest.

I mean we should ban arista for his years of out-of-control aggressive misogyny if anything, but I'm pretty sure he pays the server fees or something.

Imo that's a low blow what he did, borderline slanderous.

The attention he gets probably turns him on ,it gives him a purpose. As his sad little acting career is non existent.

I'd feel sorry for him ,if he wasn't such a waste of breath & time.

You're probably right.

And I agree with you, I can't feel sorry for someone like this when they keep making these mistakes over and over again.

To me this is a really extreme comparison that he has made here.

You can’t slander/libel large groups like this which is to be fair on balance a good thing - e.g. we’d be in a pretty bad state if the Tory party could start suing people for defamation.

Oh I know, it's just close enough to break that barrier of slandering a group of people.

Imo they're aren't many groups in this world like the Nazis, so I just see the comparison that Fox has made as really extreme and uncalled for.

And I dread to think what the Tories would class as defamation.
