It's not ok to care more abt bloody russian money than the lives of Ukrainian children.
It's not ok to reward an aggressor with lands and people.
It's not ok to normalize all of this.
So many things happening around are utterly wrong, pushing the prospects of real peace further away.

Why America’s first amendment model doesn’t fit Britain

The Free Speech Union - tactically, I would guess - would not try to protect holocaust denial on campus (because it is free speech against the spirit of universal rights and anti-discrimination). But Toby does not feel that applies to monkey chanting, (illogically)

Monkey chanting is a clear example - with racist & homophobic slur words - of something the US first amendment protects that most people here would exclude. That Free Speech Union's (pro-ECHR!) argument why FSU would not defend holocaust denial covers the monkey chanting example & racial slurs too
