Atkinson has long been a crusader for free speech.
“The right to offend is far more important than any right not to be offended." Rowan Atkinson has been warning the UK since 2004.

Steve Hughes on being offended. Brilliant. Posted this before & will likely post again.

Real rape culture in the West. The cowardly authorities who ignored this long term abuse for fear of appearing racist must also be held to account. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
‘Rotherham, Oxford, Rochdale, Derby, Banbury, Telford, Peterborough, Aylesbury, Bristol, Halifax, Keighley, Newcastle... now Huddersfield.’ The systematic abuse of vulnerable girls & the failure of authorities to act because the offenders were from immigrant communities.
One vulnerable youngster, just 12 at the time, was forcibly removed from her care home by a thug who told staff: "I want to f*** her".
(Details can only now be disclosed after a judge lifted reporting restrictions following a challenge from the media)

Sweet Jesus. These “anti-fascist” idiots are actually vandalising ambulances. 🤦🏽‍♀️
The moron painting “nazi pig” on ambulances thinks he’s morally superior to the men & women who literally save people’s lives.
Any danger of “anti-fascist” activists actually tackling real anti-semitism?

So, Rudd the chronic leaker/wrecker/backstabber is moralising on treachery & democracy...and being applauded by the deranged Murdoch conspiracy dolts. Twitter is a gift.
Same activist ‘journalists’ & Leftist commentators who relentlessly smear conservatives & cheered Abbott’s knifing are apoplectic & screeching about a ‘crisis in democracy’. Some want an inquiry! This is what happens when entitlement meets paranoia.
‘Watch and marvel at the hypocrisy and rage’

Far-right ideology is inherently irrational & incompatible with facts. It is based on xenophobia and hatred towards marginalized people. That's why having a "civic debate" is not even worth it. We are dealing with people who don't even care about facts & data in the first place.
Far-right people are very good at debating, not because they actually have good arguments or because they're right (which they aren't) but because they're VERY good at fooling the centrist crowd and trying to hide their xenophobia by using PC language to cover up their racism.
Terminology used by the far-right is constantly evolving, because as soon as we unconver their xenophobia they create a new term to fool centrists.

For example:
Nazi➡WhiteSupremacist➡WhiteNationalist➡Identitarian➡Alt-right

Racist➡RaceRealist

WhiteGenocide➡RaceReplacement

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

1/ Here I go again! (thread)

Tomorrow Labour’s National Executive Committee will vote on whether to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IRHA) working definition on antisemitism.

Please do considering sharing this if you find it at all helpful.
2/ I have thought very carefully about this for the past few weeks and here is where I have got to. It’s time to adopt the IHRA and move on, because this is only the first step on a long journey.

I will set out my underlying assumptions first.
3/ I have a potential bias based on my background. I am Jewish and consider myself to be a Zionist, in that I believe the Jewish people are entitled to self determination. I also believe there should be a lasting solution to remedy the injustices faced by the Palestinian people.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

“We’re not negotiating with Canada right now,”
Mr. Trump said at a cabinet meeting on Thursday.

“Their tariffs are too high; their barriers are too strong.
So we’re not even talking to Canada them right now.”
