@Mmajor7th I'm definitely over 10 and I agree .. Best I heard them was a pretty small (for them) gig at Earls Court .. I had my usual position at the sound desk and spent the gig in the presence of Peter Gabriel ..(he was inside the ropes obvs) .. we spoke about the amazing drum sound
All political violence is wrong @RupertLowe10.
Your post condemned the left’s violence.
But you forgot that of the right.
I will never forget reporting on the murder of Jo Cox by a far-right fanatic.
Or the murder of Sir David Amess.
To ignore the blood shed by people you don’t agree with is to act like a fascist.
All you had to do was close your post with this simple truth: all political violence is wrong.
Seeing a great deal of what Boris Johnson has suggested in my timeline, the idea that Kirk represented mainstream opinion/common sense.
His murder is appalling. But this is nonsense.
Some of his views
-Profoundly conservative on gay rights. Didn’t believe in gay marriage. Said being gay was an “error” and compared to drug addiction.
- didn’t believe in abortion in almost any circumstances.
-called for a ban on all trans gender affirming care.
-he spread falsehoods about voter fraud, Covid and other conspiracy theories.
-suggested he opposed birth control and had very traditional views on women and how they should live their lives.
-claimed the Great Replacement Theory was UK government policy.
None of this could ever justify any violence. It is a matter of fact that his views were nowhere near mainstream. He clearly relished debate and was very influential. But in some cases, in many cases, his views were extreme.
@WestminsterWAG@lewis_goodall@charliekirk11 I’d suggest you be a bit more responsible and careful about your language ..,you know exactly how many that follow you will interpret “They” !
