I’m concerned about Govt ‘over reach’ and therefore about how the Police interpret and enforce ‘policy.’ On the other hand the whole social media phenomenon is such a recent arrival that issues of free speech and keeping order are still being worked out. Some big ‘mistakes are being made .. but we don’t want to rush to judgment at every opportunity.
Bill’s response to me I don’t take personally. There might be a bit of a hangover from past ‘difficulties’.. but generally I just think he has a very black and white approach and doesn’t always see how provocative some of his word choices come across. I definitely have some concerns as to how people like Tousi .. and others who don’t reflect prevailing narratives.. will be treated in the future. Maybe the UK will be a better place when all ‘deniers’ and ‘far right, racist, bigots’ and ‘misogynsts’ and ‘homophobes’ and other sundry purveyors of ‘disinformation’ have been locked up. But I don’t think so. They’ll have to let out a whole lot more burglars, muggers and violent abusers to make room and still be building more gaols.
