It’s usually the case that those who cry “free speech” are talking about being allowed to say shitty things without other people correcting them with truths.

Being a propagandist pays

But if you don’t write it on a bus, who is going to read it?

You didn’t have to storm off because there was a picture of a lettuce behind you.

Oh Liz is a pro-trump speaker now? Odd but not surprising I suppose.

10/10 would be outraged again

I don’t think she is sorry at all.

“She’s a good person and she’s not racist” Says her husband.

It’s pretty racist to call for burning alive a bunch of innocent people because they aren’t white. Like Nazi-level genocidal racism.

Has Tony Blair chimed in to suggest ID cards as well?

You, like most people in this thread, are confusing support for a person with support for a form of punishment which is humanitarian and rehabilitative, rather than vengeful and punitive.

Is it? What do you read into that?

Interesting thst the image attached to the article makes it seem like he was saying these things in parliament. But no, again he’s just releasing inflammatory videos on social media and not bothering to turn up to work.

That’s a very interesting piece of information actually, I didn’t see that anywhere else. Implies they didn’t agree with the UK verdict in the first place.

I get your point, but a convicted criminal who is rehabilitated could also be considered a good role model. Not saying he is, but not really a means to disqualify him.

Well on that same vein, the IOC unilaterally disqualifying a country’s chosen athlete is likely to be even more politically problematic.

I also saw those statements on his wiki. Also saw some about it being “the worst mistake of his life”. I don’t imagine he would get parole without showing remorse.

He was first extradited by the Dutch and also imprisoned in the Netherlands (as is normal in international crimes). It’s not like they sprung him from a UK prison.

I mean that is the idea of rehabilitation, yeah. I don’t know where you are getting “under a month” from. He was in prison for 13 months and was released on parole, which would probably also include some rehabilitation activities.

Nice slogan, but back in reality, there’s a phenomenon documented in psychology literature called Projection. It’s usually those who rabidly accuse others and calling for harsh punishments that are guilty of those same behaviours they are condemning.

Please point me to the words I posted in defence of his actions.

This is exactly the point I’m trying to make, but am getting downvoted because I apparently sound like a “child rape apologist”.

I understand the crime is emotionally charged, but that doesn’t mean anyone convicted of it should just be thrown in the oubliette.
