Is it a joke or a death threat?

I think the problem with that Count Duck bloke is, he exposed peoples own hypocrisy, especially the media. They all jumped on the band wagon calling him an evil racist - he looks like a wrongun, he's from Scotland - before realising it was supposed to be comedy and in fact he's not a thug but "intelligent." And quite simply won't admit they were wrong. Frankie Boyle is funny because he's a lefty but this bloke isn't because he's a lefty we don't believe in.

It seems to me, the media can't stand the fact these Youtubers have created massive followings and big money championing free speech and arguing against political correctness. And the majority of the "anti-fascist" mob have been exposed as massive hypocrites.

Well said. The ''anti fascist" brigade are targeting people who want the opposite of shutting down discourse and actually do think there is some merit to democracy. At the latest UKIP meet they were trying to drown out discourse with noise tactics, violence, and basic abuse. It is very weak and all because they don't like democracy (Brexit) and refuse to accept that people have the right to speak. It is strange that they cannot see that the monster they fear is very much within them already. I honestly find the media and public quite disturbing, but it obviously isn't everyone and as you know Robinson's odds are very low too. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Then Phillips saying that anyone suggesting violence be banned from office. But, she wants to stab Jeremy Corbyn! Of course it is metaphorical, but hey, who is to judge. This is why you do not shut down free speech as it leads to very bad outcomes. Stupid or even dangerous people WILL abuse it for their own ends. Thus you don't even give them the chance to do so.

Change the PEOPLE - TO - PERSON and its nearer the mark.

Owen Jones is a joke of a human being.

True, I don't really see people as in the plural disagreeing with me. Maybe Master occasionally, but we can do so nicely. But don't forget Al, it could also be because a) nobody on here wants to talk about these topics or b) I have run them all off the forum.

Note: Not looking for a flame war....just having a laugh!

Jones has achieved a lot for a bloke in his early thirties. I assume Miles main problem with him is Jones actual concern for the demonization of the working class and that you hate Jones because you think you are better than most people and consider him a peasant.

I actually agree with some of the things he says. I have read his book, but where I draw the line is in the identity politics and classing ordinary people who disagree with him as Nazi's or Alt right. I find that immature and unhelpful. I have demonized the working classes myself, but those view came from formative years, which Jones would not have experienced, such as having someone trespassing our council estate garden and threaten to stab our dog and things like that. As a sensitive child it was a violent side that I simply wasn't used to. Homeless hostels, junkies, damaged people, and people refusing to work and all of that. It didn't leave a good impression on me. Obviously good people too, but I was so young. The dark leaves the bigger impact. I realize that was more the underclass rather than the working class as those people often just won't work at all. That is a world of pure nihilism actually and thus I find you a bit odd painting Peterson as nihilistic.
