I agree mostly that a lot of that is pretty loathsome and anger-inducing. Especially where he compares the decisions of people not publishing anti-semitic to a violation of free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you're entitled to be given a platform on demand.
The only part where he may have a point is if burning the poppy should led to prosecution. It just depends of if the act of burning would be considered free expression or not? Haven't really come to a conclusion on that.
