Much as I dislike the likes of Gina Miller I would never condone harrassment or threats as that is always unacceptable from both sides. You will always get that element on both sides of the political agenda. To suggest the Remain campaign/voters are the 'good guys' and the Leave 'campaigners/voters the 'bad guys' is blinkered.

Judging by the response of many 'remoaners' with some even disrespecting a public vote, and therefore democracy, by attempting to overturn the vote speaks volumes and demonstrates what lengths they will go to to try and get their own way.

There are no innocents in politics.

The bold points are there to highlight the rampant hypocrisy in the post. I thought I'd just stick to those two points since if I highlighted the other points of hypocrisy in that post then most of the post would be highlighted.

PC doesn't encroach on free speech, you are entitled to your opinion but no one is forced to accept them or acknowledge them. That's your issue with it, isn't it? You want people to cheer you for your opinions and you can't handle the fact that your opinions won't be universally adored. You only want freedom of speech for yourself and people who share your opinions which is why in this post you try to pass off opposing opinions to brexit as undemocratic, you are trying to invalidate any opinion that doesn't suit your agenda. You can be opposed to people who voted remain but you are actively trying to make out that people who don't get in line with your views basically don't believe in democracy and are trying to force their own way when you have been guilty in the past (along with other members) of telling remainers to basically assimilate with the Borg-I mean, accept the brexit and drop opposing opinions.

Going back to PC culture, your opinion is not being limited or held back in any way, you can say what you like, the problem here is that you (and pretty much everyone who acts like PC is the devil) don't have the conviction to own your opinions. All opinions come with consequences as I've said a thousand times, no one is exempt from those consequences.

Again, another thing I've said a thousand times, Freedom of Speech is a two way street. Do not act like a defender of it when you aren't really interested in FoS because you only want it for yourself and people who hold the same views as you.
