What a massive strawman you've made there about the trans stuff.
No I haven't, I am following your logical train of thought that only "accredited comedians" can make jokes so can possibly offend, ther wont be many comedians coming through the ranks if we follow your logic.
Actually I've often found its the right wing media which trumpet freedom of speech when it suits them and claim thst others should be silenced when they want to. asee the reaction to poppy burners etc.
And this points out that you are still treating it as a team sport, this is about Jo Brand and how she initially shouldn't have to apologise and anyone complaining is a right wing snowflake, if you wanted her to be held to the same standards then whatabout Farage, Boris.
You can't even be consistent in your belief because your IDPOL dogma is tying you up in knots.
The unknown blogger was relatively unknown, no where near what he was after. Although I have agreed repeatedly that he shouldn't be fined, it may be easier to get away with "it was a joke" when you are estsblished.
You cannot see the slippery slope in your argument, to become estabalished you need to get your name out there, initially it became viral because people watched the video and understood the joke and nuance of getting an out and out left wing socialist with a hammer and sickle tattoo to preform on command, those that jumped on the outrage wagon are lacking the nuance.
Pretending that you are aware of nuance with how you have you framed the situation as politics is a team sport style analysis shows the real strawman in this thread. (and others to be fair)
