He's not "telling" him anything, he asks him a question;

("Aren't you part of the problem here?")

and instead of answering it properly;

("No I don't think so, and here's why...")

He chooses to not answer it at all or give any reasoning, but instead whinge about his freedom of speech being attacked, when it isn't;

("Waaah waaah I can say what I want u don't get to tell me about my tweetz!")


He's being asked for some sort of reasoning but fails to give any. Why has he even bothered going on if he doesn't want to answer a fairly simple question? Waste of space, waste of time. Not many people's time mind you because it was on GB News.

Tom said something along the lines of "you shouldn't be posting those messages with the big following you have and then in the next sentence he said that Fox should post what he wants him to post to his followers, instead"


If you want to get people vaccinated, then start by getting all these clowns off the television, because most of the country don't believe a word they say, there's zero trust, it has totally gone.

He pointed out the content of the tweets and asked;

"aren't you part of the problem". At no point does he say "you shouldn't". He did say "I do think there is a genuine problem when people with large followings tweet out to many people that they shouldn't take the vaccine" - this is clearly stated as his opinion, and thus, falls entirely under GB News' supposed remit of freedom of expression.

There is a difference, a clear one, between "I think it's a problem" and "you shouldn't do that". You can think something is problematic, and tell them so, whilst conceding their freedom to do whatever they want. I think this may be the idea some people struggle with.

Quote:

No in fact it was Fox who sarcastically asked "should I get a Tom Harwood tweet passport" and then he replied - in the same sarcastic/tongue in cheek tone - "I think everyone should really, that would really help". Pretending that either of these is a serious statement is disingenuous, especially when it was Fox who started that exchange of sarcasm.

Towards the end he says;

"IF you were to tell your legions of followers to get the vaccine..."

Again a speculation/statement of opinion. There's no way to frame this as a demand.

You can't misquote and misrepresent a 1min 30sec video when it's right here in the thread - you posted it! - for everyone to listen to. It even has subtitles for goodness sakes, we can quote it verbatim.
