Lineker & now Ince. Even for those not paying attention it should now be obvious that the sort of people who whine loudest about “cancel culture” are the ones doing the cancelling.
The far right’s commitment to “freedom of speech” is an authoritarian joke & the BBC has disgraced itself.

So rarely hear the phrase “legitimate concerns” being used with climate change protestors, hunger striking peace activists, trans people who want to live without fear, and on and on
For so long , many who could have challenged bigotry & bullying have bowed down meekly to the notion of “but these people have legitimate concerns” - at the same time they have found it easy to attack and belittle progressiveness - still the cowardly kids that cheer the bully

The reality is that what is being conveyed to the public is that you can say the sort of stuff Graham Linehan says, with the same malice and frequency, even to minors, and it's perfectly okay - because the "reason" is essentially an acceptable prejudice.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.
