Deconstructing Headlines

Now at this stage of the blog, you’ll give me the benefit of the doubt and charitably agree that some might concede Brash’s words were harsh and bordering on a kind of bigotry, but then quickly assert that doesn’t mean Brash shouldn’t have the right to express those opinions and nor do those opinions even closely amount to Brash being evil and will challenge me that my use of such a word is hyperbole on my behalf and that by throwing around a word like that so needlessly, I am in fact being as counter productive as the woke protestors who rushed his stage and doesn’t this just all make me a hypocrite?

No. I don’t need nor require your benefit of the doubt.

No. It doesn’t mean he has a ‘right’ to those opinions.

The bosses will attempt to claim a living wage and slightly better Union protection for workers is what has spooked them, but that’s bullshit, the real reasons for a downturn in confidence however are worth looking at.

It’s a dumb thing to do, and on the surface of it, Judith’s retweet of a fake news story is more embarrassing than sinister, but when given the opportunity to back down and acknowledge she screwed up, Judith has doubled down…

I think part of the problem with the Brash, Molyneux and Southern debate is that there is a large amount of confusion over what ‘Hate Speech’ legally amounts to.
