Meanwhile in the USA the start of State monitoring of opinion has begun. I note the lack of complaint from far-right groups about this blatant attack on freedom of speech and 1984-style state checking on individuals....

Do you think the right-wing insistence on the freedom to say what they like actually suggests they mean the freedom to air their views and silence or control anyone who doesn't agree?

 

Or perhaps they just want a level playing-field with the Left, who've been known to ban right-wing speakers from university lectures? :teresa:

Glib.

 

State monitoring is not the same as telling someone they can f*** off and spread their message in another hall somewhere else. The right to free speech is also the right to withdraw an invitation to hear it if there is something better to do - like picking your nose. I'm sure you would support the right of far-right owners of halls not to allow liberals in them to attack the views of the owners.....

 

I mean I would love you to speak up for the right of liberals to force their views onto far-right organisations, but somehow I guess you would see that as some sort of police-state interference....? Recent events suggest -NeoNazi's not the best at listening to liberal views quietly and patiently and with an air of tolerance.
