Freedom of Speech!! (But we ban books!!)

Hypocrisy rules!!

Freedom of speech = blind obedience to a narrow doctrine!

Anyone who disagrees is WOKE!!

Books are banned. People persecuted, fired and threatened! But hate-speech is OK. Conspiracy, lies and misinformation are OK.

Freedom of speech now means narrow conformity to a system of greed and law-breaking, threats and hatred.

America has become a Dictatorship!

A letter from the Guardian:

 I feel as if I am now living in a parallel universe

(Trump calls Zelenskyy a dictator amid fears of irreconcilable rift, 19 February). Trump, who still asserts he won the 2020 election, who asserts that the courts cannot restrict what he does, who bans books he does not like, who tells the FBI and Department of Justice to go after his enemies, who effectively sacks anyone involved in investigating his past nefarious activities, who bans news outlets from White House briefings and who overrules Congress’s funding of aid, tells me Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a dictator. He prefers Vladimir Putin, who, presumably, won his election fairly. It is well beyond satire or parody and should be called out by all British politicians who value democracy.
