Not Jeremy Kyle's biggest fan I must admit, but he's not wrong here. If the roles had been reversed, all hell would've broken loose and the call for prosecution would've been immense. So why isn't hell breaking loose you ask? Because Polanski is on the left, that's why.

“If anyone on the right did anything like this, there would be World War 3.”

Jeremy Kyle slams Zack Polanski after he shared an Instagram post featuring a man wearing a “Nigel” top alongside a guillotine image.

@nostalgicskyy @riverbi14 Lutherans cannot be orthodox as they are reformist, they are an affront to the ancient church herself. They're heretics and nothing more, no matter how you want to try and frame it. The divine liturgy is 2,000 years old and that should tell you what real Orthodoxy is.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

So much for religious freedom.

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Left wing radicals crashed and removed Eoin Richard from Catholic church and poured blue paint on him in LA https://t.co/1yWIkSiLQm

They are showing their love and tolerance again

Also, these same people are demanding ICE to show their faces but look at them, hiding behind their masks

@prolibertypod I'm leaving the Welsh Presbyterian Calvinistic Methodist Church to become an Inquirer to the Orthodox Church as I feel that's where my soul is calling me. I think they have the right idea, to do it slowly so people learn the church's ways without being overwhelmed.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

Handed in my resignation at the Welsh Presbyterian Calvinistic Methodist I volunteered at. I played the organ on a rota there for 20 years (now 39). Why did I leave? To hopefully join the Orthodox Church, so I can be closer to God. ☦️

This

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Jason Arday shouldn’t be dead.

But he is dead - because he didn’t tell the truth.

And Cambridge University didn’t look for the truth - because he’s black.

And fellow black professors didn’t ask for the truth - because he is black.

Jason lied repeatedly.

And he told the exact lies that allow one to excel in the system that elite universities have adopted.

A system that factors in race, hardship, and lived experience under the banner of equity, instead of pure performance.

Nearly everyone in these institutions ignored Jason’s lies, to try and protect black people.

They called the people seeking the truth racists.

Of course there were some racists.

But the majority of people just wanted the truth.

Avoiding the truth didn’t help black people.

Double standards in academia aren’t helping black people.

They hurt the perception of black people who are truly the best, and would have held prestigious positions at elite schools, solely off the merits of their performance.

Double standards always backfire.

Even when well intentioned.

Even when intended to correct for past oppression.

Race-conscious hiring and admissions have created a situation where it is rational to wonder whether a black person has achieved their position because they were simply the best, or because they were good enough, and black.

This is not a racist thought.

It’s a rational thing to wonder when a system promotes people based on race.

It’s a thing I’ve wondered about myself, as someone who graduated from Harvard - which had race-conscious admissions.

No amount of insistence that it’s racist will make it racist.

It’s no more racist than it would be to wonder whether a white player got into the NBA off of just performance, if the NBA decided to focus on “fixing” the underrepresentation of white people.

This is the logical downside of race-conscious hiring and admissions.

You can think the downside is worth the upside.

But the downside remains.

Calling people with legitimate concerns racist didn’t protect black people.

It didn’t protect Jason.

It hurt black people who have earned their positions.

And it allowed a troubled man who built his career on lies to rise to a height so great that his fall from grace killed him.

We could have just had the truth.

Instead, we have a tragedy.

Perfectly put! Solidarity only becomes untenable when it's coerced otherwise it's absolutely fine.

Charlie was right and he died for it. Study those men and you'll see the truth.

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Charlie Kirk: “If you’re studying economics and they’re not teaching Thomas Sowell, you’re not getting an education. You’re getting an indoctrination.

“Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, F. A. Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat... you should know every single one.”

I'm ADHD and Asperger's, you do NOT speak on my behalf, ever. Everyone's a sovereign individual and will see the world differently, mental health issues or not. Stop playing the: "Poor me I have problems waaaah" game. Grow the hell up and get used to life throwing you about.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

My life is not necessarily harder because I have ADHD

Life is harder because I am neurodiverse in a world designed for neurotypical folk.

What we don’t need, is neurotypical folk then coming along telling us our neurodiversity is made up.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

Kevin's right. Instead of facing his fate with dignity he decided to deprive his children of a father, despicable.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

I just found out Jason Arday was a father. That changes my take on his suicide completely. Not only was he a fraud, he was a coward who abandoned his children. And now the left has turned him into a saint. A moral degenerate in every way. Their saint. Revolting.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

He's not a white supremacist you lefty twat! He's a distinguished professor who doesn't plagiarize other people.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Imagine pretending that a white supremacist is a professor?

Not a good look channel 4.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

Love and empathy my ass! If we did this to Jason Arday.......

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Please remember that the LGBTQ+ community is all about love, empathy, and inclusivity but not for young dads who are murdered for exercising their freedom of speech. If Charlier Kirk said that women cannot have penises, he is preaching hate. But this show is not about hate. It's a celebration of...his death. Grotesque degenerates.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

This fact of course is miraculously ignored and glossed over by socialists and Communists.

[Project Liberal @ProjectLiberal]

@MarxistInfo And people died trying to escape it.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

@Murican_Pitbull Yep and people are in cognitive dissonance mode because they don't want to admit it.

[eastwards @Friedmangeddon]

@LibertariansUK As much as I loathe that man, he wasn't wrong.
