Never ceases to amaze me how vitriolic people can be behind the safety net of Twitter. That platform is a whirling vortex of unpleasantness when it comes to politics. Apart from politics, all it does it let people show their new shoes they just bought, or a disappointing brekkie at a Motorway services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of the usual suspects will be soon to defend him. Unfortunately most of the social media platforms are very left leaning and this sort of crap will be swept under the carpet.

Thanks to twitter and the cancel culture that Labour are apart of, It's hard to see them even being able to field a candidate in every constituency at the next two general elections ?

It's not very nice and he comes across as a complete pillock, but I think people should be free to say whatever they want (genuine calls for violence notwithstanding). My only problem is that I can absolutely guarantee that this gimboid and people like him will be amongst the most vociferous when it comes to de-platforming people they disagree with.

I doubt he is on Keir Starmer's Christmas card list, I don't think he'll ever get a sniff of standing. Looking at his Twitter there is a lot of cussing, can't help thinking he is compensating for something … faint whiff of being bullied by the girls when in the 3rd Year.

ariotofmyown Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Like how the usual suspects rush on here to condemn some unknown moron on twitter, but were mostly silent when Johnson, the actual person who is actually running the country, appointed an advisor who claimed there was scientific research that proved that black people were of lower intelligence that white people. Said advisor didn't get removed from their post for expressing obscene, racist opinions, but resigned. I think this thread should be used for debating what people in power do and don't do. It's pretty pointless using it to comment of unknown people's tweets. It would just become like twitter then, rather than the melting pot of ideas and opinions we've all come to love.

The tweet was posted as an example of twitter being a toxic platform and why the poster dislikes modern politics. I love that you seem to think me liking free speech is some kind of 'gotcha'.

I didn't mean to imply what his politics are, just copying stupid tweets so people can condemn them is a bit pointless. We all love free speech. Apart from when it inspires nutcases to violence.
