No, @campbellclaret, Charlie Kirk categorically did NOT support the stoning to death of gay people.
Will you retract this reckless and ignorant smear?

- Surely one of the requirements for the post of president of the world’s most famous debating society should be to oppose the murder of people for their opinions?
- A totally bonkers interview in which BBC presenters interrogate a politician because she hasn’t watched a TV show…
- Parents in Hertfordshire have been arrested and locked in a cell for criticising the policies of their daughter’s school in emails and a What’s App group. By this point, anyone claiming that free speech is intact in the UK is utterly delusional.
- Robbie Coltrane has died. I’m sure all of those on The Right Side Of History™ will be keen to share their condolences while his friends and family are grieving. Oh, wait…
- Katie Hopkins has been interviewed by police for referring to herself as a “spaz”. Under the UK’s present government, this authoritarian nonsense is only going to get worse…
- Activists vandalise Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers at the National Gallery. The vandalism or destruction of art is always an authoritarian act. But more than that - it represents a repudiation of civilisation and the achievements of humanity.
- Unable to win an argument against your political opponents? Just use one of these handy phrases instead: ▪️”Who funds you?” ▪️”Explain this 8-year-old tweet” ▪️”So what you’re saying is... [insert straw man]” ▪️”Why are you in this photo with a person I don’t like?” ▪️”Nazi”
- The police removing lesbians from a pride parade. The pride movement no longer supports gay people. x.com/GetTheLOutUK/s…
- The word “fascist” has been wildly misused over the past few years, even in the mainstream media. We need to restore the actual definition. Here’s a start. If you condone the murder of your political opponents, you’re a fascist.
- Seems about right.
- 🧵 THREAD! UK police are arresting over 12,000 each year for ‘offensive’ speech. That’s over 30 arrests per day. So I thought I’d compile a list of UK citizens who have been visited, investigated or arrested by police for speech crime. This list is by no means comprehensive!
- For the woke, there is nothing that cannot be problematised.
