and your favorite "Free speech go to hell"
Is that what you dont like me criticising Mr Angry  |
For the record, I don't have an issue with you criticizing anything. I was simply asking for some clarification.
Where do you draw the line though?
If, as you say, "Freedom of speech is fine" then it has to be equally applied. There is no such thing as "good" or "bad" freedom of speech and you cannot cherry pick.
Freedom of speech is, last time I checked, a fundamental right in Britain. That you, I or anyone else might disagree with the placards and the expressions thereon is irrelevant to the freedom of speech argument - unless it comes down to a "do we or don't we allow freedom of speech" debate. Currently we do.
The unfortunate thing about Freedom of speech, as we are witnessing now, is that it's very much a case of "If you can't take it then don't dish it out."
Peace out.
