And your right to free speech on someone else's messageboard? Will you respect their rules and regs? Or is that too oppressive for you?

I never give it a moments thought, to be perfectly honest.
You see, what I practise and preach, was hard fought for, and the price paid was very dear, to dear for me to worry about the restrictions others place on it.
Anyway, put a forum open to the public, on a public domain, and you get all sorts. Expecting anything less smacks of naivety.

When was the right to spout racist nonsense hard fought for?

Edit: Just checking Wiki to see what level of free speech exists in the UK.

Thought it was an interesting read.

Deepcut you're spot on with that post, and some of our best players have been black.Can i just ask tho i thought Facto said African which is a nationality.

Free speech, dear boy, FREE SPEECH, regardless of whether or not you like it, that is what was hard fought for, and hard won, and now so nearly easily lost.
Such a shame that.
I may not like what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
As soon as those words become meaningless, we are in trouble.
If, for whatever reason you disagree with someone's views, argue them, or leave them alone.

Free speech can be abused. See the link i've posted above to see there is no absolute right to free speech in the UK. There are laws to be observed, that limit it.

All of this pales against the self moderation that any decent person should put in place. I'm fairly sure the reason our ancestors went to war, was definitely not for our right to be as offensive as possible, just because we can.

You can say what you like, as long as I like what I hear. This is what passes for so-called free speech today. That is nothing to laud, and certainly nothing to be proud of.

[QPRDave]

So we have no right of free speech in this country then, reading your link.

spot on mate but the wishy washy lot cant pass up an excuse to give us a lecture about the horrors of bigotry and racism...

[QPRDave]

Yeah

[BigDanShittu]

Free speech has to work all ways though. A lot of what has been said in this thread is wrong but the way free speech is implemented in Britain is wrong all round ie you can't arrest an EDL member for saying stuff about Islam then let an Islamic extremist preach hate and let him get away with it.

Correct.
The sacrifice made by the dead of two world wars, is actually meaningless now.
The hypocritical posturing on 11th November, a sick joke on our war dead, and us who have to listen to the inane drivel of the young.

Sorry BigDan but that is what i do see happening.
