@pressjournal "Looking in to it" - that much used phrase that means incapable of doing the job as it requires (as per the finance farce at Dundee Uni). Nothing to look in to other than establishing the facts in 5 or 10 minutes, then dismissal if true.

@abjerkley @rthonbwooster @hellothisisivan I don't know what "successfully voted" means but we live in a democracy (or used to). If you want to prevent that then maybe you should have been around in the 1930s when it was popular. I don't agree with her views but she had a right to express them

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@Stillwater47266 @ThatNukemGuy Would you like people stopped from expressing views like that? It's a simple question which needs a yes or no answer. It is an important question and I hoe you answer rather than diverting

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@ThatNukemGuy @KKounts @Stillwater47266 Ok i'm awake now - should we ban people from expressing those views ?

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@ThatNukemGuy @Stillwater47266 Would you like to ban people from expressing that view then on the grounds that it doesn't agree with your view ?

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@abjerkley @rthonbwooster @hellothisisivan Would you like to ban that opposition to your views then ?

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@PlayingByEar @hellothisisivan Thanks Neil - have a good weekend

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@Dancane93 @clarkaw Absolutely - in my day (i'm nearly 70) you could debate an issue without trying to shut down alternative views. What a sad country we are now Daniel.

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@Trema12 @clarkaw Excellent

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@abjerkley @hellothisisivan I don't agree with it either but we were once a democracy where free speech was allowed without punishment. Forgive me, I'm nearly 70 but in my day there were robust debates which were allowed by everybody. Maybe people were more mature in my day

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@ThatNukemGuy @Stillwater47266 "Cruel" to gay people. It was a personal view. Nobody was cruel - they might not have agreed with her but there was no cruelty

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@ThatNukemGuy @DreyfusJames Untold harm ? What on earth are you on about you soulless individual. Have you no compassion for people who disagree with you ?

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@PlayingByEar @hellothisisivan Not really - some people are happy that someone who had views that conflicted with their own are happy that she is dead. Nothing tricky about that Neil, just a reflection of a society where hatred seems to dominate nowadays.

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@abjerkley @hellothisisivan She had no "political actions" she had views that people either agreed or disagreed with. It's worrying that there are people that are glad that she is dead (not necessarily accusing you of that -just to be clear !!)

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@hannahforest By the way, I don't agree with her any more than you do for what it's worth

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@hannahforest Hatred on all sides Hannah, sadly it's how life has become since my youth (born in 1957) - everybody has their own opinions. What would you do ? Censor debate on an issue ? That's called fascism.

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@portraitinflesh And is Ian Hislop not the most smug and entitled of all ? Horrible little sneering creep.

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@PeterTatchell You say that as if nobody is allowed to have opinions that differ from yours - in a way, it is you who is the fascist.

[Rod George @RodGeorge1]

@PeterTatchell We all have different views on things - i didn't agree with her on everything but maybe some people on here have no experience of a conviction politician who stuck to those views rather than seeing which way the wind blows. Old school.
