He should be silenced because he is openly racist and has printed racist propaganda. | |

you think some of his views are racist. he would deny that. but he hasn't broken any uk law - no court has found what he has said or printed to incite racial hatred or to be illegal. | |

I'd be surprised if he believes everything he says. More that he's happy to poison minds if it helps to further himself. | |

There may be no legal reason to silence him (I'm not sure if there is or isn't - it's a shame if we can't keep racists silent though), but there's no reason to continually to platform him either as he's not in a position of any responsibility, has little specific knowledge that's of interest to the viewer/listener, nor does he rarely have anything useful or constructive to say. The only reason is clicks and 'good' (= argumentative) TV. He's the go to clickbait 'anti-establishment' voice, despite being very establishment. | |

He's a warped, bitter little man. I've had dealings with his people before and their only goal (his only goal) was to stick it to those who Farage feels have wronged him. He's the original own the libs guy. | |

a thread about no platforming farage and keeping him off bbc radio 2, and you post: "Not providing extremists of all shapes and forms access to millions of minds through a public broadcaster would probably be a good start, I'd say." i was going to go back and show the discussion between you and giant ulla that led to you saying that, but i can't be bothered. what is the point. | |

i don't disagree with any of that. i guess the media's excuse is that he has led parties which have attracted millions of votes. but that's not now. the law defines incitement to racial hatred and we therefore have a process to determine if that has occurred. the trouble with accusations of racism more generally, and in turn denials of racism, is that they are disputed. using an accusation of racism to silence someone without any legal validation is subjective and political - if it isn't a court who gets to decide?. | |

The media love him. It’s as simple as that. Seriously, if Trump or Biden appear on TV who would you want to watch? Before last Nov I doubt many people would have recognised Biden. They knew who Trump was before 2016 and they still do. Some sanity is needed and I really hope Biden does well. At the moment he’s a massive relief after the Trumpmeister. But the media will soon tire of him because tbh he’s decrepit and boring. His best bet is to shine the limelight on his deputy who seems savvy and rather impressive. [Post edited 21 Jan 2021 16:17]

That's fair enough. I'd like to think there is something that can be done about his constant efforts to promote racial disharmony/xenophobia. There should be as he causes nothing but trouble. But if he's broken the laws, I'm sure we'd know about it. He steps pretty close though - he's little different to some of the hate preachers we've locked up and/or deported. Same baseless lies convincing people to behave in a way that's detrimental to society and the country. The sooner people learn to ignore him the better imo. [Post edited 21 Jan 2021 18:55]

I agree with that. People like this, even nutters like the national front should be allowed to air their views. They always hang themselves with their nonsense and have no hiding place when their arguments are torn to pieces. They will then hopefully disappear. | | | |

They hang themselves by gleefully increasing their wealth and successfully removing the UK from the the EU by using lies and hatred to divide us? Doesn't sound much like a hanging to me. Sounds like they might be enjoying themselves. | |
