At least it will stop the idiots from dropping themselves in the shit. I’ve seen it time and again. Nationalists posting while d*unk and ending up in court, some ending up in prison. So good.

"I prefer my nazis out in the open.Easier targets.. "

I agree. The problem with restricting political expression is it makes it hard to follow and counter what those being silenced in public are saying and doing in private.

Facism only spreads through oppression , weather real or more importantly imagined( i.e. nazis thought the jews were running the show) this will only serve to empower the actual far right ..and further alienate those right of center

I'm not sure, normally I'd be against suppression of freedom to speak.

In times like these I think it's best to silence those who incite violence. Idiots like Tommy Robinson who want it all to kick off. It's all very well calling for war, till you go d yourself in the midst of one. Losing family and friends fighting furiously over something so futile.

Giving it a platform on Facebook legitimises it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the extreme left who call for violence either.

If you can't control your aggression and hatred you've no right to your freedom - be it physical, or verbal.

I think you are misguided, although I understand your concern.

Fact is there is no such right as 'free speech', there are laws that restrict what we can say and retributions in the form of fines and compensation orders (the latter having no limit) available to the courts to punish hate spreaders. They should be used. The likes of the far right mouthpieces should not banned from spreading their hate, they should be made to pay for it! Nige and the rest whose inflammatory brexit campaign led to the murder of Jo Cox should all be bankrupted and debarred from public office as undischarged bankrupts by now. Unfortunately the establishment (and therefore the courts) refuse to use the laws we have to their full extent for fear of falling foul of those same laws themselves.

No other party would take neo-Nazis in their midst.

When UKIP is too extreme for the likes of Farage, you've got a serious problem.

The old UKIP would be miles ahead in the polls.

It's not.

It's been hijacked by fascists.

And very, very few people want anything to do with fascists.

In peaceful times I'm happy with total freedom of speech. In times of high tension and civil unrest.. which is building.. I'd prefer to see a crackdown on anyone enciting violence, preaching hatred and fundamentalism.

Its a hard question who gets to decide and when I grant you that, but an idea worth mulling over.

High tension and civil unrest doesn't go away with censorship, ask anybody that lived under communism.

Inciting violence has always been illegal, fundamentalism? Well what of, fundamental football fans, fundamental fans of take that?.

I'm no fan of religions but I'm also no fan of stopping people being a fundamentalist Jew Muslim or Christian if they want to believe homosexuality is wrong by applying a fundamentalist philosophy who am I to tell them no?.

Preaching hatred, that's the tough one what's hate speech who defines it can I be offended by leftists talking shite on here? And who are you to tell me I can't be offended by it?.

It's all so vague I'm afraid my default position is freedom of speech until somebody can give me some rules to mull over.

To be fair, anti-semitism in the Labour party and on the left in general is a thing. I'm pretty lefty but it does us no good to deny that.

It's important to realise that arguing against the mainstream acceptance is called advancement, homosexuality would still be illegal if nobody was allowed to argue against mainstream acceptability, shut up your offending the religious and conservatives would have been the reply, womens voting rights properly horrified some Victorian men (and women) slavery, hunting fox's, paedophilic priests, women bishops, the Vatican's role in the Nazi party, the list is endless and all were rigourously defended by both sides!.

I may oppose remain but not only should but you must oppose it as a remainer and vice versa.

The fact is we all have a system where we have to move with the consensus but must be allowed to argue against it with the only proviso being you cannot incite violence, if it really does offend you to hear opposing words and views then I'm afraid you'll just have to be live with being offended.

I'm not sure if youre arguing one of my points or just reaffirming a statement.

I don't disagree we need dissent v voices. I'm just saying if you argue for freedom of voice you have to allow the islamist preacher to preach. And possibly even some fake newsers to pedal propoganda. One can't be selective on what voices can be heard. It seems some alt fighters (at least on twitter) want the freedom for their hero's but not their enemies.

I'm yet to read or hear a clear definition of hate speech. It usually boils down to what a particular person finds offensive or disagrees

with. Goalposts on wheels with a whopping big turbo charger. I'm just so glad i've never had a face book page nor have i sent or read a tweet in my life!

Yes because banning Islamist preachers (which they have done for years) has really stopped the spread of Islamists hasn't it?.

To me allowing other Muslims to challenge Islamists ideas and speeches without fear of persecution would have put the whole thing to bed earlier, theres a reason the crazy Islamists target decenting Muslim voices you know.

National Action, as was, was a bunch of students with a bunch of insane ideas. By banning them, the govt created a monster. It’s all underground and dangerous now. Banning groups over remarks and ideology is not going to help anyone.

National Action, as was, was a bunch of students with a bunch of insane ideas. By banning them, the govt created a monster. It’s all underground and dangerous now. Banning groups over remarks and ideology is not going to help anyone."

I'm sure nobody wants people like Alice cutter of national action to have voice when she said in a private one-to-one chat group with (a convicted National Action member) that what she considered a good thing was a game of football in which the ball was a Jew’s decapitated head so that the Jew, in her words, or similar words, got a good kicking every time.”

Who wants her to have a voice???

Usually racism, promoting hate towards certain demographics, etc, you can't sit there with a straight face and say far rights groups haven't spoke about such

"Political correctness enforced censorship and blatantly opposes freedom of speech and expression. They have been forcing this bullshit on the internet for years, and now on social media too.

First they give everyone a voice, then they take away the voices of those they disagree with. Backdoor communism.

If she has no voice then nobody will know how utterly insane she is. The fact that comment got out will only get her negative attention.

Hopefully you can see why our security services see this group as dangerous .I trust our security services can make the correct decisions.

She's obviously free to be a neo nazi .Not that it's a crime.

They are dangerous now, any proscribed organisation will attract the worst of the lunatic fringes. I do also remember before they were banned, when they tried to organise a march through Liverpool. They said that if the March was obstructed there would be repercussions. They literally called everyone out, and ended up cowering in the lost property room at the train station. A bunch of frightened kids hiding while the baying mob outside were threatening to tare them limb from limb.

They were not so dangerous when out in the open. THAT is what I’m trying to say.

Banning far right is one thing, but where is this heading?

Gradually moving onto more and more things being banned over time until in the end there is only one narrative left?

Censorship by stealth. To begin with, it doesn't seem so unreasonable, even if I do have reservations over free speech, but when it starts to encroach onto ever more valid things that matter to us there will be a problem.

Twitter is a private company, private companies do not censor anything or one, In the same way as Fab reserve the right to refuse to publish some photos or let us say anything we want on this forum. The idea that a private individual or enterprise should not have the right to control what is said or done in or on their property is ridicules, I am sure you would be the first to throw someone out of your home if you objected to views they were expressing about swingers in your property to your swinger guests at a party. And before you tell me my example is different, the only difference is scale, and that is no difference (unless it is that you have a secret list of those who will never know about swinger parties at your property).

Censorship is something only sovereign countries can do, so please guys don't call this prohibition censorship.

Being no-platformed by Facebook is the modern-day equivalent of a newspaper refusing to publish your letter.

Anyone can set up their own platform. Whether anyone wants to see or hear its content is another matter.
