FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR ALL

Clearly, for some time, there hasn't really been freedom of speech. If you say the wrong thing now, on social media, tv, papers, etc. your career is effectively over or at least damaged.

It's not so different from Mao's cultural revolution in China, or what happened in Stalinist Russia. Except, it's all been done by stealth, starting in European universities and spreading outwards, with language as the presumed source of all power. Control the language and you control thought, as Orwell warned.

We now have a so called "liberal" elite which isn't actually liberal and has promoted a lexicon of bullsh1t for some years now and it's getting serious, as it looks like any sort of backlash is going to fuel right wing parties.

CH5 news just refused to show the cartoons there - and even provided a thoughtful little explanation why...

They showed their soiled under-garments?

Yass...

"We've chosen NOT to show the cartoon as it's regarded as offensive to many Muslims."

That excuse goes right to the heart of the issue.

Offend anyone else you like but don't offend the Muslims. Sharia Law in Britain only a matter of time with that attitude.

Yes, Velasquez. Already words can be uttered by some sections of society but not by others. The N-word is freely used between young black men, gangsta-rappers etc, but cannot be vocalised by others. But if a black man calls another black man a "choc-ice", the Police are immediately called into action.

I predict the next banned word will be "fat" - to be replaced by "gravitationally challenged".

I think you should explain these remarks to the betfair police  you are clearly bringing the forum into disrepute

they are giving free air time to the muslim critics with no counter argument on sky news.
says it all

Now taxi has been banned I see Arley station being next.  Imagine being so nasty to these poor 'disabled' people.  Shame on you Arley

he he!!!!!

Arley, there must be committees somewhere, thinking this sh1t up...and being well compensated for their efforts.

How do we join up...?

First they came for the people with ideas and pictures. 
Then they came for the jews

has this happened before?

I have invoked godwin's law!!!

In France you can be thrown in jail for saying Russians committed Katyn massacre

Je suis Charlie my arse

Well...at least there is a great film by a great film-maker. No one who has seen it will ever forget it.

they're offended by satire I'm offended by the practice of Halal slaughter, who will get listened to ?

I think it was Mario Puzo (?) who talked about BEE societies and WASP societies...wasp societies can't prosper where there are other wasps...but they sure can cause problems when they take wasp behaviour into bee societies. That was the premise of The Godfather books.

PS - BEES make honey.
