Except Tommy Robinson is moderately left wing.

He’s labelled far right because he is an “islamaphope” I.e. someone who thinks a regressive, oppressive and totalitarian ideology is a bad thing.

On your basic point I agree though although there are many, many more left wing thugs than right wing these days.

Islamaphobia = dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims

There are fundamental differences between us on the issue of censorship. What do you think I've done here?

I've ascertained that we have an individual abusing free speech to turn threads into continual long insult threads. Sure it's ok three, four, five times....but continual? It's just feeding a troll who isn't interested in real debate.

Now I could continue to engage him. However, do I wish to continually ruin threads with selfish arguments with the same bitter clown? No, not particularly.

However going back to that is a tempting option. Now you say I've been respectful lately.....well, I wouldn't say that specifically. It's more that if someone makes it plain that they don't want any knockabout then that's fair enough. However, I continue with DanH for example because he does the same.

I don't look to censor opinions that I don't like and I've heard that from many from the left on this forum.

So unlike you I'm not opposed to trolling. However I've always said that if you didn't wish to participate you could ask the individual to stop engaging you and if they continued that then that's a form of harassment. You have always had this option and I've never seen you use it. It's been used in the past and I've supported it. I could also stop posting but I've decided not to do that for this individual.

Now I've asked this guy to stop posting to me several times. He refuses to because I think he has an agenda and is bitter. When someone reaches a certain level of neurotic then what's the point.

Despite him crying about his free speech I haven't put in a complaint and I'm going to heed advice and continue to ignore him. However, if he continues to post directly to me after expressly being asked to stop several times who knows.

What we need is a block option.

What happened to the increased crime thread?

Did it get censored?

This is the new migrant crisis thread.

I fully appreciate that to you it's one and the same thing but just thought you should know.

Do you genuinely think there is censorship on the HOL, or do you just enjoy creating ridiculous conspiracy theories?

The crime thread that I started is no longer viewable.
