Jacob Rees mogg at the University of the West of England (Title edited by MNHQ)

[Grrrrrsnarl]

Just watched the clip of Jacob rees mogg at Bristol university, when a few momentum activists try to cause havoc and stop him from talking

Whatever anyone thinks of this man, I have to say he was pretty gutsy going up to them, considering they are all hiding behind Balaclavas and scarves and there wasn't any security there.
Most politicians wouldn't have gone near them, let alone try to talk to them

I like him. Yes his views are controversial and I don't agree with some of them, but at least he stands up for what he believes in

It's like you are holding to a higher standard here because of skin colour. That is just plain shitty.

It's like nothing of the sort.

I'm holding her to exactly the SAME standard as everyone else, but am grounded enough in reality to ALSO know that the racist contingent will lap it up every time she slips up.

the last few pages have been a beautiful example of how the left are able to redefine the meaning of words. If someone says something horrific, simply redefine the English language and its all sanitized away.

this is why I hate the left

Still not heard Corbyn condemning the antics of Momentum yet. Not holding my breath.

this is why I hate the left

Well yes language can be frustrating.

But it is the terrible Ideology of the Tories, the punishment of the poor the sick the disabled....These are actions that have real consequences.

Antics are antics. But Tory failed austerity is very real.

@makeourfuture

this thread is about freedom of speech (much as I might agree with other issues that you mention)

the left are anti free speech. this has been made abundantly clear by the way they close down public discourse.

Its important. once they close down free speech they will close down free thinking.

its happened before.

So you don't feel a similar threat from alt-right fake news?

And the left seem to encourage this victim mentality. People need to take some responsibility for themselves and stop continually blaming others. I don't mean the disabled obviously

Do you support or condemn the behaviour & actions of the shouty, anti democracy, balaclava-ed twats last night make?

It's a very simple question, and has nothing to do with knitting or austerity.

Another simple question:
do you support JRM's right to speak freely & without fear - both as a human being & as a serving MP?

JRM is a steaming pile of hypocrisy.

He denies women bodily autonomy, pretty much soley on the cop out basis of 'Well I'm a Catholic so I have to believe this'.

Whilst simultaneously voting against the poor and needy at every turn, in favour of war and violence and to keep the rich richer. He cherry picks his 'beliefs' to according to his own agenda.

But if he is never allowed to say these things no one will ever have the chance to call him out on it.

Momentum are a disgrace to Labour and seriously need to grow the fuck up, sharpish.

But make if these things are never debated then those in power will just press ahead anyway.

No platforming and just storming in with balaclavas is just bullshit.

Antics are antics. But Tory failed austerity is very real.

More whataboutery

Well done JRM[Grin}

Better to ignore both him and momentum knobheads.

Seems we are reduced to 2 choices, Tories trying to guard the bank and Momentum wanting to rob the bank. Whats funny is that there is no money in the bank.

Well having read recent reports, it appears that things may have turned violent when one of the right wingers either hit or attempted to hit a female anti-facist activist.

These are, again, early witness accounts. The police have yet to release a statement.

I invite you to watch the footage (from when the masked twats started, until the end), as this is not what happened at all.

Why are you so vehemently against freedom of speech make?

a female anti-facist activist

I had no idea prejudice against faces was getting so bad!

There is a backlash against the violent liberal elitist Momentum and the working class are turning to the Conservatives. Corbyns club cannot silence free speech.

Well from the video it does look like that burly guy catches the young woman with a left hook to the jaw.

Except it doesn't.

Do you actually know what a 'left hook' is?!

It's a clenched fist punch using the left hand - hooked round & enacted with intent.
It is a powerful punch, with potentially knockout power.

Well you would say that. The left are never wrong in your eyes are they. As the saying goes....'There are are none as blind as those who will no see'

That's not what I see makeourfuture.

Quote from shouty-twat Josh Connor's granny:

"He is a very keen Socialist, slightly to the left of Trotsky, he is an ardent Labour supporter."

@makeourfuture Why you are being hounded to make an apology is a mystery. I stand in solidarity with you.
