    There's no such thing as "free speech". People dont have a right to insult others despite what they may incorrectly think.

    Just to put it in perspective, you are responding to someone who hails Dee Wall as a venerable guru.

    Freedom of speech does equal freedom from consequences. Must look more closely at my teaching council standards of conduct and see if this kind of stuff is a breach of them.

    If this happened in the UK, charges would be brought for that comment. They have the crime and disorder act which criminalises racist acts and then the criminal justice act which imposes a duty on the court to actually increase the sentence for any racism crime. I think similar laws should be introduced in ireland.

    The same UK that has a major problem with stabbings?

    Shes home schooling her kids. Surely the department should be looking at that after these comments.

    There is no such thing as absolute 'free speech' here in Europe. We have the right to freedom of expression which can be limited where necessary. And rightfully so. If "free speech" threatens other human rights such as the rights to be safe, to equality and to be free from torture then it should absolutely be restricted.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Indeed. Dangerous stuff that shouldnt be laughed at. Her supporters here went very quiet but they still come in supporting her friends and still say - oh but I agree with Gemma on..... Gemma was a brilliant journalist. They still come in from time to time to mock those who highlight Gemmas extremism

    the scary thing is that she probably believes this

    Who is the strange sounding dude who seems to be cropping up with Dee .... mild mannered but odd as a box of frogs ?

    I was having a tough morning. Gemma has thankfully cheered me up...

    You'd have to wonder what was the point of people reporting gemtrails to facebook, youtube and twitter, resulting in her losing that platform, only for the likes of aciquestion to just take over re-posting them... Is it not better to just starve her of publicity?!

    Very few people following that account in comparison. As funny as it is. Gems had 10s of thousands of followers at one stage across all platforms.

    She was trying to be president not long ago remember. Now she just films herself walking around randomly shouting at JCB drivers.

    Isn't the whole, regular "you're in the pay of Soros" rant part of the anti-Jewish thing?

    on rte news today, an american said "100million mail-in ballot papers were posted to people" ...... and "the american population is 300million" [i think it is actually 330million].

    but, even so; that is staggering that 100million ballots were posted out.

    The Jews are never 'explicitly' targeted by most of these, but a lot of the targeting happens underhand.

    Don't know what your point is but under-18s can't vote, nor can most prisoners, and there's a pandemic raging.

    is it?? some states mail a ballot to every registered voter automatically.
