Event on free speech.

See twitter feed here

Wonder what his email explanation will say? Hmm

You're probably right. It just seemed to link JB with all sorts of negatives.

Popchyk · 26/10/2018 20:30

What evidence is there of incitement to hatred and violence, I wonder?

There were several people on that Facebook post, but none could provide actual evidence of this incitement.

They cannot point to even one thing.

Bonions · 26/10/2018 20:33

I believe it went something like this

ABitCrapper · 26/10/2018 20:38

I am also wondering what JB has said that incites violence?

I think Jeremy had a self-imposed limit of 20, 000 words to explain his cowardice.

So he just didn't have room for any actual evidence of incitement to violence by Julie, ABit.

But I think we can just take his word for it though, right?

I know he's demonstrated that he is a craven, despicable liar but that's no reason to doubt him on this.

PreseaCombatir · 26/10/2018 21:01

Crazy... can’t wait to see them emails Grin

Mumfun · 26/10/2018 21:04

Shocked by the Peter Tatchell letter -dont know why he wasnt no platformed for that!

WarmWishes · 26/10/2018 21:22

He's deleted it now. I wish he'd make his mind up!

nauticant · 26/10/2018 21:31

I offered to apologise. A decision I now retract.

... and the rest of it, self-serving cowardice and dishonesty at great length.

Jeremy Goldstein: what a complete and utter weasel.

TwistedStitch · 26/10/2018 21:37

Poor, silly Jeremy. My Dad would say he runs with the hare and hunts with the hounds. Nice to see he has received a letter of support from Peter Tatchell. Perhaps somebody should send him a copy of Peter's letter upthread and wait for his statement that PT invites hatred towards children. Something tells me that wouldn't be forthcoming though.

On Wednesday morning Bindel went public accusing me of no-platforming in an event purporting to promote free speech.

It's an unusual phrase 'accused me of' when in the preceding sentences you describe doing exactly that thing and go on to say you were right to do it.

As per our statement announcing our decision to unplatform Julie Bindel and her hatred, we believe Freedom of Speech is a very powerful tool and fundamental for democracies to thrive.

Freedom is slavery.

You currently stand in the way of democracy and human rights, but mark my words: you won't hold that position for much longer.

Given Bindel holds no particular post, how can that be anything other than a personal threat?

It is my belief that engagement, not disengagement is the way forward.... I can now see that any form of engagement with the likes of Bindel and Index on Censorship is impossible

Christ on a bike. If columnists for national newspapers who campaign for the legal status quo and Index on Censorship are so extreme you can't negotiate with them then society is fucked.

The roundhouse blog for the show has the title: 'THE SHOW ENCOURAGING FREE SPEECH AND RUTHLESS HONESTY'. Apparently 'Participants of all ages, beliefs and backgrounds can take part in the event'

I'm not sure those words mean what you think they mean Jeremy.

(Yes Jeremy, I know you are reading this. You simply can't resist googling yourself, can you?)

The 'poem' that Jeremy was crowning Reece Lyons for is this:

AngryAttackKittens · 26/10/2018 23:57

He loves free speech as long as nobody says anything that will make people shout at him on Twitter.

FloralBunting · 27/10/2018 00:13

Ah, let's face it, the payoff of that poem, the last thought you are meant to hold on to is "I have a penis".

Which is pretty much the implicit inner monologue of every man I've ever known, so there's that.

BreakWindandFire · 27/10/2018 00:21

The only thing I can say about that poem is that it is positively Vogon-ion.

LangCleg · 27/10/2018 09:04

What an absolute craven, cavilling, thick-as-mince, virtue signalling knob.

I am the son of the Hackney Gang

Yes, dear, and they're turning in their graves as I type.

Here's another one I hope spends at least a month weeping into his poor me hankie.

BettyDuMonde · 27/10/2018 09:33

This is hilarious.

Hope it makes the national press ‘Man who claims to be free speech champion is terrified of the opinions of a middle aged lesbian’

Thanks for posting those Popchyk and well done to Index on Censorship and the Roundhouse for disassociating themselves from this utter shitshow.
