Ah, of course Priyamvada Gopal and Cambridge University is "toeing the party line" by protecting her free speech to say baity crap for the benefit of the Tory party. Free speech is not a binary which automatically favours "the left" or "the right"Vassenor wrote:

It's depressing that the very simple concept of free speech is absurdly difficult to grasp for some people.

Did not know Star Wars V got upgraded to PG
Really strange how we used to be so concerned about language that the use of fuck would always mean that a film would get a 15 yet someone having their arm graphically chopped off was rated a U (acceptable for all ages).

Says a lot about our ruling class frankly.
"Wow, promising to genocide the jews and start a new world war and conquer the world, what a genius. I wish I was as clever as Hitler when it came to lying to the public about what i'm going to do rather than rob them blind. Wait, HE'S BEING HONEST?! WHAT!? This is *unprecedented*!".
Don't take my word for it. Point out to people how Lloyd George, Churchhill, practically anyone said Hitler was amazing and they loved him and he was open about wanting total war and genocide since the 20s. They'll kneejerk respond "Well yeah, but they didn't think he'd actually do it" to dismiss that observation without considering what it says about our political culture.
