@HairyCooIII @toadmeister My point was how do you convince people not to be Nazis?

[Peter Garrett @bluebaboonuk]

@HairyCooIII @toadmeister I have not read these article so am not commenting. As an example the great replacement theory is garbage even from the conservative angle as Latino’s are voting republican in increasing numbers https://t.co/PpUGTdh6VO

@HairyCooIII @toadmeister People need to be able to convince them the alternative is better to do that you need to know people they are coming from before offering them a better alternative. Calling people nazis, racist or stupid just puts people into their shells.

@HairyCooIII @toadmeister You appreciate the Spectator is a weekly magazine and that article was published about nine years ago. Most of its content is about as banal as the new statesman’s.

[Peter Garrett @bluebaboonuk]

@notnowcato07 @mrdanwalker I missed the commentary, also it should have been longer it would have been good to see for football with the time given. Otherwise it was ok.

Since I started tweeting about inappropriate sex lessons in school, teachers have privately sent me their stories and resources from across the country.

All too scared to publish, lest they be recognised and targeted.

I had no idea just how bad things are in schools.😱😳

Most Britons...
1. Think the BBC are in the wrong over suspending Lineker;
2. Don't think it's acceptable to compare gov policy with that of the Nazis;
3. Support sports correspondents promoting their own politics on their own personal channels;
4. Like Stopping The Boats™

@MatthewStadlen @GBNEWS @toadmeister No because the license fee is basically a legally enforceable tax for anyone with a screen.

So the Home Secretary said “invasion”in a two hour debate, the left wing media blew this out of proportion a footballer equated the word “invasion”to nazism, the right wing media blew this out of proportion, BBC overreacted no discussion on policy

@AnotherRunHQ @post_liberal FYI the analysis from @TifoFootball_ is way better than Match of the Day.

@01ajr @Miss_Snuffy I guess stripping would defeat the object of a drag act.

Hate to ruin it for those who think the Lineker #MOTD fallout is damning for the government. But the only consequence of this in the medium- to long-term is that many voters will have overwhelmingly heard of an immigration policy they strongly agree with.

@loopatronica @Aiannucci @GaryLineker Nazi comparisons are just dumb in most circumstances including this one. Too much is focused on one word rather than the entire context, circumstance of the parliamentary debate and the policies being suggested.

@loopatronica @Aiannucci @GaryLineker Please enlighten me how does Godwin’s law work?

[Peter Garrett @bluebaboonuk]

@The_Space_event @Aiannucci @GaryLineker His suspension is definitely newsworthy, the tweet was definitely not newsworthy. Words like invasion don’t help the debate but need to be taken into consideration with things like context, circumstances and policy solutions reading the whole speech rather than picking one word.

[Peter Garrett @bluebaboonuk]

@The_Space_event @Aiannucci @GaryLineker What is news worthy is the problems which have created the failing asylum system and the solutions which can be put in place to address improve the current system. Which includes safe legal routes so people don’t have to cross the channels on small boats in the first place.

[Peter Garrett @bluebaboonuk]

@The_Space_event @Aiannucci @GaryLineker Point is Nazi references in general (unless directed at people like Tommy Robinson) are stupid nazi and not worthy of serious consideration or debate.
