    For those snowflake virtue signalling woke folk there’s a new board game:

    What's wrong with banning Hopkins or boycotting The Sun? Both fine ideas.

    Going against the grain of being a believer in Free Speech, but, if there's one newspaper I'd like to see go under it would be the Guardian, aka the Daily Woke.

    She is taking the words freedom of speech to a whole new level mate. I believe in freedom of speech but not in her context. She just WANTS to cause chaos (Sorry CC) and everything she says is meant, thought through and utterly designed to upset and offend people.

    She is intent on going against the grain for the sake of it.

    Plus there is no such thing as freedom of speech. There never has been.

    “Freedom of speech “ has always come with responsibilities and T & C’s. As GG says Hopkins always tries to be offensive and insulting with the sole aim of being “controversial” to keep her own name in the spotlight.

    She doesn’t upset me. But she incites hatred which is illegal.

    I agree, no such thing as Freedom of Speech, especially in China, where strangely enough Covid19 came from.

    The thread was dead more or less, so just thought I'd open it up a bit on freedom of speech.

    So what is a Woke in any case?

    If someone can be deemed one, because you don't agree or are offended with what they have to say, there must be a bit of woke in everyone.

    So far as I understand, it is an insult used primarilly by people who are old and socially conservative against those who aren't.
