@ianmiles We have well established freedom of expression laws across Europe, which generally (quite rightly) stop at hate speech and/or incitement to violence - we’re just fine, go fuck yourself

@supertanskiii Watching millionaire Jeremy Clarkson crumble when Victoria Derbyshire just quoted his own words back to him was a joy to behold.

Part of Laurence Fox's racist rant to Sangita Myska which he has since deleted, and which has been sent to the Police.
