UK Left Rag Dons Red Nazi Jackboot
One might have thought that The Independent is about as left as its gets, with the possible exception of The Guardian, in what we used to call Fleet Street.
Or so we thought.
Now that particular part of the UK media has aligned itself with the mind-set of the Red Nazi Antifa gangster movement…
…
Spain has banned the far-right Vox party from a TV debate. Why don’t we do the same to Ukip and Nigel Farage?
The Vox party is now polling 10 per cent in Spain, but the formerly fascist state understands the threat of a resurgent far-right. The UK should be listening
…..not in terms of masked hoodlums using gang violence to silence opposition…
.
..
…but by publishing that call to demolish British democracy.
Never mind that the smirking fanatic behind the jackboot call in The Independent seems to have been misinterpreting what has happened in Spain.
The tribunal in Madrid has indeed acted to silence Vox, but, whatever their true motivation…
….and it may well be ideological, the panel behind the ban has not justified its diktat with any reference to the unacceptably patriotic nature of the surging Spanish party.
Instead they have used the argument that the party, having had no previous electoral successes prior to their recent advance, does not yet merit a place in multi-party debates.

It feels like we are at or near a tipping point, not just the Brexit Crisis but the whole constitutional structure of British society.
There is sheer terror we can see in the political establishment, This report shows how far a lot of them are prepared to go.
Creepy Key is a typical modern liberal, no tolerance at all for people who don’t share his politics and prejudices.
I suspect there are hundreds in the media and in politics just like him, a lot of them graduates from colleges where they operated No Platform censorship against anybody right of John Major.
What you say is what we must be prepared to do.
If they crack down on our democratic rights, we crack back.

This Key is quite unscrupulous, the way he uses the Spanish example dishonestly, as if the ban on Vox was instituted on political grounds and not, as you properly explain, because Vox lacks enough elected legislators to participate under the rules..
It probably is just an excuse by Spain’s elites to hurt Vox’s chances but Key cannot pretend he is interested in any constitutional arguments.
He is just another leftist who hates to hear voices of dissent.

The more the Brexit Party soars in the polls, the more the anti-democratic reality emerges from behind the masks.
We will hear a lot more of this fascist attitude from those who claim to want a second referendum.
Won’t that be free and fair if all the pro-Brexit parties are banned from tv debates, as this fanatic Key is demandng?

Mack, that’s a good point because it takes us on to how we have to handle the problem.
A lot of these intolerant extremists now risen high in politics and media work are the diseased crop that grew up in No Platform universities in the 70s and 80s.
They never developed any talent for letting others have their say.
So we must not be surprised when this Remainer blurts out his wish to clamp down on free speech, on Brexit or anything else.
What we must do is what we did at uni, if they try to silence us, meet force with force.

Who pays Key’s wages?
Where does he hang out?
What is known about this bigoted man?
We should demo him and dog his steps until he gives up on his witch-hunt!
If he wants to attack our views, that’s his right, but to silence our voices, that’s far too far down the repression road.
