Yes, one from fifteen. How odd you'd pick out that one example.
And so you should Nobody was suggesting you should post it there.I got chastised the last time I posted in the Labour thread about the Tories
Oh come on. There is no defence for what has happened here. I simply don’t understand why they’ve been reinstated. There is no point and no need to entertain people like that in any party.Did you actually read the link - one of the examples of 'islamopohobia' was some guy criticizing Tommy Robinson being banned by Facebook!
So if it is islamopohobic to believe in free speech count me in..

To me the point was more of a general one. The facts are that members were reinstated who aren’t fit and proper to be representatives. If they like that vile creature so much then they should be part of his party.Its rather absurd to suggest that you should only be in favor of free speech for people that you agree with. I dont agree with a lot of what Robinson says but I do disagree with attempts to silence him from expressing a point of view.
For example I disagreed with Thatchers attempt to silence the IRA - that didnt mean that I supported blowing people to bits or associating with the likes of Jeremy Corbyn. But apparently I would have been, in the Guardians eyes, an islamophobist..
Don't feed him, as @rancidpunk mentioned, he cherry picked 1 out of 15. The remaining 14 racists obviously don't fit his free speech angle quite as well.

Probably yes if it's the Tories, but no if anyone to their left.Can we count you in if it's anti-semitic to believe in free speech as well? After all, in for a penny and all that...

Yep because retweeting a post describing Yaxley-Lennon as a patriot is totally about standing up for free speech. Not an ounce of support there .But he didnt express support for Robinson

The prick made that sh*t up and the party swallowed it.
I see the concept of free speech went straight over your head..
Just like it went straight over Tommy’s......
There’s free speech and then there’s the dangerous, vindictive bile that he comes out with. Facebook were absolutely right to ban him.
That depends on what you use your right to free speech for.
Methinks you dont quite understand the concept of free speech.
you've tried that response on a few here now , go forth and multiply trollI see the concept of free speech went straight over your head..

Given that we don't have a right to free speech in the UK, perhaps you need to research what the law in the UK allows.
Methinks you are spending too much time in the USA and muddling up First Amendment rights with UK law.
Sorry - you are totally confused. Human Rights Act 1998 Article 10, “everyone has the right to freedom of expression” in the UK
