Rowan Atkinson on the “creeping culture of censoriousness” in the UK.
Great to see an accomplished actor give a spirited and nuanced defence of free speech.
@JonathanPieNews Support all Independents. Clear the slate. The MP supports in the house will remain and though the discussions will take more time, at least it will operate as a democracy, representative of the people without profiteering interests muddying the moral waters.
@MythinformedMKE If a kid says it's an alligator 🐊 and their parents cheer and smile. Surprise, no surprise, they will try to please their parents. Draw green scales on their skin and chomp on things.
The only way the concept of Hate Speech could propagate was to first dilute the universally shared sacred nature of Love Speech. The term love is used to express an affinity for crisps AND the adoration of a partner. @andrewdoyle_com@Ben_Scallan@jordanbpeterson@FreeSpeechIre
@JohnCleese No one is saying you are stupid, inbred or lacking a sense of humor because of your pious politics, nor should they. Nor should you. You are far too clever, well read, funny and profound to rely on such lazy humour. Legacy be damned you say. Yep. Likely.

Apologies. Bad maths. $5000 dollars for every man woman and child in the US, yet 30% of households can't get their hands on $500 in an emergency. Google search now saying $3.5T. Mad, mad, mad and dangerous world we're in at the moment. Will the sane diplomats please stand up?
So the Pentagon can't find $2T, which is $500 for every man woman and child in the US and then the Dept of Justice decides not to charge a former senator for illegally removing sensitive documents, not because he is president, but because he is mentally challenged!? Mad world.
