If Tommy’s remarks had been directed at Jews instead of Muslims, he would enjoy no such freedom of expression.

They’re protected by farage and the rightwing media, just the same as the right is protected by trump, the rightwing media and repubs in America

Replace Islam with any other religion, Judaism, Catholicism, Hinduism, and you’ll get waves of condemnations from politicians across the political spectrum and the community may even get a visit from the King. But it’s Islam so anyone complaining about it is „sectarian“

I don’t see the issue with this, I don’t think any religion should be in any place of authority, I don’t see an issue with what they are saying specifically about Islam.
I know they are pro christian and far right and it’s hypocritical and their views are dangerous I just don’t see a specific issue with the language here and I fear an even heavier hand will just silence what is legitimate protest.

I mean, most people DO tend to ignore these people and their idiocy but the police definitely shouldnt be doing it.

Popper’s paradox of tolerance holds that a society tolerant of all views will, paradoxically, be destroyed by the intolerant if it refuses to suppress them; consider a fictional right-wing extremist group that exploits liberal free speech laws to spread coded hate—speaking of „preserving heritage“ and „community safety“ while winking at xenophobia—gradually normalizing their rhetoric until they gain enough followers to democratically dismantle the very protections that allowed their rise, forcing the tolerant to choose between betraying their principles or losing the freedom to have principles at all.
