@jaglancy imagining things to get angry about

@thesoubr @System11b @crepycidon @ClarkeMicah yes.

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur Cenk is an antisemite now?

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur "The Community Security Trust said in a statement that it welcomed the decision to bar Piker from entering the UK and "the government's recognition that there must be consequences when public figures cross the line"

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@caton_duane @RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur > I don't think they should have been banned either

Just stop there.

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur So if they weren't banned for their position on Palestine, which it is already established that they were, are you advocating arbitrary banning of left wingers to create a false parity following banning of right wingers?

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur 'The decision would have been made by the Home Secretary who has a noted history of pro-Palestine advocacy'

is what you just said, tying yourself up in nots, perhaps go back to the whataboutery and calls for parity of bans

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur Shifting goal posts, not at behest of Israel (can discuss that elsewhere) but for 'planning to speak critically of a country 3000 miles away' - which you just conceded is the reason.

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@SohrabAhmari @RachelMoiselle @cenkuygur Because if that were the reason, that would be something we could all stand against right?

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@Alexarmstrong so much for 'but I will defend to the death your right to say it'

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur I don't think anyone should be banned from the UK for planning to speak critically of a country 3000 miles away on podcasts.

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@RachelMoiselle @SohrabAhmari @cenkuygur the multiple layers of fallacies it takes to construct this position would make your head spin

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

@TadhgHickey It is because you are a complete grifter.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.

[Brian Whelan @brianwhelanhack]

Don't worry Cenk, we've spent the last five years building up the most robust 'free speech' broadcasting networks here, they'll be along any moment to take a principled position....

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
