I stand by the assertion that this is thought management. "You aren't clever enough to see the negative aspects of this argument so we won't let you hear it"

Actually I was referring to the "deplatforming" of speakers at events in the UK. There were a series of these in the last few years. The speakers booked held views that the left disliked and they thought this meant it ok to threaten violence if they spoke.

Maybe a fair point

Well we don't get those widely reported over here so I'm unsure how accurate your point is.
But, it's not going to be effective to moan about them without acknowledging the overreach on the left.
If Vance said something similar I guess it goes to show even a stopped clock is right twice a day

The problem is this ignores the point that the traction the right got on this point was in some way a reaction to left wing free speech overreach (thought management). That still needs addressing. It's not ok just because the other side are worse

Ah, Jeremy Clarkson's favourite council. They are astounding morons

Ok. Next step add a zero to my bank account and go when they've next got good snow.
Obvs tricky whilst still working
Hoping there's a chance of a snowstorm for you

Yep. Only for the mega rich some time in the next 20 years. Sorry for your situation. Astonishing there's no booze to take the edge off!
