No chance of the new owners letting Farage in the building though.

No chance of the new owners letting Farage in the building though.

What is it with the left and cancellation… serious question?
Why shouldn’t Farage be let in the building?

I asked my kids the other day if they’d been watching I’m a celebrity, and we talked about what’s been happening.
On hearing the name Nigel Farage my 9 year old son immediately chirped in with… ‘my teacher won’t watch I’m a celebrity because Nigel Farage is in it!’

Now as much as I’m a big fan of Farage I’ve never mentioned his name to my kids, so why does his teacher feel it’s right to impose her lefty hateful opinions on a class of 9 year olds! And then I noticed the daily Mirror at the weekend decided to go with headline news in getting Farage out, absolutely pathetic.

The teacher shared their opinion, just as you just did on here.  Freedom of speech doesn’t stop when you disagree with the opinion.

It's only conveniently "cancelling" when the left ignore and deride right wing populist morons like Farage.

When the Tories and their mates in the media destroyed Jeremy Corbyn with lies, that was ok with you I presume? Works both ways, yet when left wingers do it, they are woke snowflakes "cancelling" people.

The teacher has every right not to watch a programme containing Nigel Farage if they find him an oily, self aggrandizing yob, as do I. They are not lefty hateful opinions, they are just opinions. They are not woke, or snowflake, or any of the other pathetic terms used by the right wing media whenever their views are challenged.

JF let him visit Blundell Park, and that is fine too, because JF probably thinks he's great, and I have no problem with that.

All sides have a voice in a democracy, but you don't have to agree or listen.

How has she imposed it on him? How is it hateful? I'm sure you'd be neutral and passive about the show if Jeremy Corbyn was on it.

There you go - freedom of speech for some, and not for others. He’s a big mouth and a big boy - he can say what he wants and we can all judge him accordingly.

I mean, if I was the teacher, I probably wouldn't even go there with political opinions with a class full of 9 year olds. Aside from anything, you open yourself up to parents marching in and kicking off cos they dislike your opinion and/or feel it's not your place to discuss.

Not sure that it is 'cancelling' though. If someone is on a very successful TV show, they are hardly being 'cancelled' whether Miss Briggs from Poppy Lane School watches it or not.

Farage has, for example, been on Question Time more than any other politician ever. Why we give such oxygen to such bigoted, ignorant, racist opinions I’ll never know, but the BBC is bound to air all views. Farage is easily debated. I find it sad that his grift has resulted in such economic damage to this country due to Brexit, but that bird has flown. He continues to have a high media profile everywhere so any notion that he has been ‘cancelled’ is plainly utterly stupid, so any numpty that wants to claim he’s been ‘no platformed’  just looks silly. As for this lazy notion of the ‘woke left’…..I’m yet to see anyone explain what that is. All they say is that it should be shut down.
Rather like a Brexit benefit, a definition of what is meant by ‘woke’ is still sadly absent. As is any example at all of why anyone would admire Farage. Unless they were similarly ignorant and prejudiced.  I doubt someone as dense and bigoted as Humbercod can manage to explain,  but I’d be happy to read a definition.

Is it a political opinion to dislike someone who happens to be a politician? I personally have never watched the show and never would, but if I did, I would probably find most of the contestants odious and grasping, not to mention the two boring mammaries who host the show. I mean, you've got to be pretty desperate for fame and money to put yourself through that show haven't you? I understand that he's getting the most money anyone has ever received for doing the show, and hasn't been backward in mentioning it.

I suspect a lot of people would dislike Farage whatever his profession was.

You’re missing the point! The teacher is there to teach not share their left wing bigotry.
