No, I cannot find any examples of what I would consider "hate speech", in fact I do not think it even exists. So, for the third time I am asking the all the Leftie Wokeists on here, can we please have : 1 - Any example of what you would consider "hate speech" ? 2 - Any example of "hate speech" in the Mail, the Express, the Sun or on GBTV (all the outlets the Conscious Advertising Network are trying to dissuade advertisers from using because of their supposed "hateful" attitudes). 12 minutes ago, Delayed said: >>Chekhov said: Interesting... A Leftie authoritarian (who is almost certainly also in favour of restricting our lives due to "Nett Zero") telling me not to use public transport but use my car instead.<< Again, stop making things up about me. And there's a difference between telling and suggesting. Happy to correct the record : Delayed is not an authoritarian, and as such he does not believe in people being restricted in their lives unless absolutely essential. To be clear a non authoritarian believes the default position should be not to restrict or ban anything. Neither does he believe in Nett Zero, or if he does he does not believe people should have their lives restricted because of it. But he does think people should be encouraged to use public transport, including if they want to look out of the window, so they should not be forced to look at a huge political / woke sticker (which they might not agree with) right in their line of vision.

That horrible campaign earlier this year by the Labour Party where they had Sunak's face next to a question about the low conviction rate of child abusers was utterly deplorable, and I totally condemn it. If people claim they don't like being the subject of those kinds of smears (as Starmer did when Boris linked him to Jimmy Saville), well then they shouldn't retaliate in the same terms. On a wider point, I can't be the only one to have noticed this massive increase in the word 'woke', and what people think woke is. Initially, IIRC, it was coined by African Americans in the 1940s to mean to become aware of injustices. Now the gutter press have co opted it as an insult to anyone on the left. Like with the term 'politically correct' it's used as a term of abuse. I certainly think the press, and to a lesser extent social media are responsible for toxifying political debates where debate quickly descends into the gutter. That's funny because you are bandying around the term 'Hate Speech' without offering a definition of what it means. And as there's been an increase of the inappropriate use of 'woke', the same could be said for people being called Nazi/Hitler/phobic/ist. And you're complaining at the meaning of words changing - it's the left that want to alter the English language to suit their politics. Just look at the whole gender identity movement for how terms are being altered for the sake of 'inclusivity'! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you don't understand. I was banned in Apr 2020 for stating that kids were at no significant risk of death from Covid. My posts were repeatedly deleted and then, when I argued about it, I was banned. I had that changed to "account closed" by contacting the then owner of the site. So, fighting for the truth, and, just as importantly, trying to lessen the stress on parents.

Absolutely true, despite me asking for examples numerous times. The silence is positively deafening...... I'll be controversial and wait for someone to prove me wrong : hate speech does not exist (and certainly not in the media).

Ofcom have a definition of hate speech in their broadcasting code, and have fined some broadcasting organisations and removed others licences on the basis of it, for example: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/decision-ahlebait-tv-networks https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/decision-up-and-coming-tv https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/updated-decision-and-surrender-ktv https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/decision-link-fm https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/content-sanctions-adjudications/decision-rinse-fm Some groups have used the same rules to lobby for Ofcom to take action on the basis that they think they have been broken, for example: https://www.thejc.com/news/news/mps-and-board-of-deputies-slam-antisemitic-conspiracy-theories-on-gbnews-7034XOJGx29iU82NfNSPfq If you don't like their definition, I suggest that you take it up with them.

With all due respect I am not that bothered what some Woke QUANGO says, the original question was more specific : No, I cannot find any examples of what I would consider "hate speech", in fact I do not think it even exists. So, for the third time I am asking the all the Leftie Wokeists on here, can we please have : 1 - Any example of what you would consider "hate speech" ? 2 - Any example of "hate speech" in the Mail, the Express, the Sun or on GBTV (all the outlets the Conscious Advertising Network are trying to dissuade advertisers from using because of their supposed "hateful" attitudes).

So, fighting for the truth, and, just as importantly, trying to lessen the stressy aware I understand very well that scientists and medics all over the world as well as the media and health authorities globally were reporting and publishing data on the severity of symptoms within various age groups long before your martyrdom ban. Every single person who has knowledge of Pandemics would know that populations are affected differently For example: "The proportion of children who went on to develop severe or critical Covid-19 illness with breathlessness, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and shock was much lower (6%) than among Chinese adults (19%) – especially older adults with chronic cardiovascular or respiratory conditions. A small proportion of children (1%) did not show any signs of infection at all, despite harbouring the virus. In comparison, only 1% of infected adults remained asymptomatic". BBC March 2020". As shown above, your recollection of events seems flawed and you will not be noted in history for your selfless acts of fighting for your freedoms- it was already well known. Neither will your one month ban go down as a 'sacrifice'. The danger now is that these attempts to re-write science and history to serve your political beliefs will go on and on and...
