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.

We've heard from the students who don't want these speakers...where are the ones who do?

On all the TV debates
and Radio debates,


In a University
a Business Student
will not Shout about his Views
as many Left Wing Activists
stop him or her.
Thats wrong Kizzy

Is it? I couldn't possibly comment as I don't know what the views are to form an opinion whether I feel that was right or wrong.

Right wing activists are the ones wanting to stop free speech

Yes Young Lady
Education is Power
but stay Legal.

[Withano]

People have the right to say what they want
Others have the right to tell them theyre talking ****
Wheres the problem?

I suppose its a never ending cycle

Left: You cant say that
Right: Freedom of speech
Left: Thats stupid
Right: You cant say that
Left: Freedom of speech
Right: Thats stupid

Etc and vice versa

Without an actual story...I can't quite understand the point of this thread? I know in America there have been issues with certain topics being banned from being spoke about and people no platformed for having different opinions. No platforming, or protesting about someone speaking at all who has a different view to you...I don't really see that as free speech at all. Not sure that comes across right so...

Person 1 holds the view that all flowers are blue.
Person 2 disagrees

Person 1 is due to speak at a event about flowers. Or about anything else...
Person 2 kicks up a huge fuss, goes to the organizers of said event, gets a protest ready...tries to completely stop person 1 from having a public voice. Just because person 1 holds the view that flowers are blue.
Person 1 is banned from said event because of an opinion that differs with person 2.

I do not think this is person 2 exercising their own right to free speech at all. They are free to tell person 1 that their opinion is ridiculous..argue the point and so on. But when it comes to actually stopping them speaking at all? That is wrong. And not simply exercising their own right to free speech at all tbh

This exactly

I suppose they have to do something once they are done attending both their lectures for the week?

Some of these messages are almost incomprehensible to me, but I can safely say if Milo Yiannopoulos was being paid to do his hateful little song and dance at my university I would protest that until I was blue in the face. Differing views are necessary for constructive conversation and progress, but just having dissenting opinions doesn't give you the right to a soapbox.

A Fresh Link for Dezzy
when he gets time .
A Colleague just sent me.

[More than nine in 10 UK universities are restrictive of free speech, according to a new report that raises concerns over the issue of censorship on campuses.

Analysis by Spiked magazine, supported by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, suggested campus censorship had increased steadily over the past three years – with a growing number of institutions actively clamping down on ideas, literature and guest speakers that are not in keeping with their own values.

The Free Speech University Rankings (FSUR), drawn from examining the policies and bans of 115 universities and students’ unions, found almost two thirds (63.5 per cent) were “severely” restrictive of free speech, with more than 30 per cent given an “amber” warning.]

Banning costumes isn't infringing on anyone's freedom of speech nor is preventing people from infringing on a mascot's image rights. Most business, schools and public places have a set of values that dictate what they allow and what they don't. It's not exactly infringing on freedom of speech by not allowing extremists to speak in public places. Unless they are ACTUALLY oppressing people's rights to their opinion then this is a nonstory from a group of people who do not understand what Freedom of Speech is and where it applies and where it doesn't.

Personally I would say the 'free speech' decline came in just as the hate laws became legislation, what do you want unis full of hate clerics?
You can't have it both ways :/

The fact you attempt to automatically label any opposition to your views as 'hate' shows that both sets of opinions need to be heard in order for 'free speech' to actually mean free speech.

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.

"Unless they are ACTUALLY oppressing people's rights to their opinion then this is a nonstory from a group of people who do not understand what Freedom of Speech"

Yes I understand you Dezzy
Freedom Of Speech.

Info Wars com fella had it
out with Andrew Neil
on the BBC Daily Politics , Andrew was right
of course.

But it is a Legit Story
I am sorry no video yet.
Technical problems


I thank John Oliver for a Top show
last night on UK SkyAtlanticHD
his HBO show is Outstanding, Dezzy,

Thank you Dezzy for going through that Fresh Link
but it is still the case that Left Wing Activists
are not being legal.
A debate in a University
is good enough for Live Ch4HD TV
at the same time.
Now if Left Wing Protesters
invade that gig
they will be removed and the
Left Vs Right live Debate also on live TV
will carry on.


I hope you can see the sense in all this
Thank You for Your Time .... Dezzy.

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.

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.)
