It's funny, on the one hand, some are all for freedom of expression when it comes to anti-West rhetoric, they are even fine with 'behead all those who don't follow what I follow' slogans/placards, always citing freedom of speech and expression. However, with Katie Hopkins, how very dare she spout such opinions, she should be banned from speaking and de-platformed from all media formats. But anything anti-West/anti-white is fine. Let's face it, 'Diversity' now means any colour but white and straight, male or female.

Talking of S. Africa, my colleague's daughter has lived there for years, as she married a S. African (black, not white). She tells me that what the ruling party has been doing to the whites there is barbaric, but nothing ever gets reported about the rapes and killings, especially the treatment of the white farmers, that has be prevalent for some time now. Perhaps it doesn't fit the narrative. At least, this is what I was told from someone who actually lives there.

I don't know, perhaps in todays fked up world, truth is the new hate speech.
You sound like you have a chip on your diverse shoulder.

Who said she should be banned from speaking?

Always allow an idiot to take as much rope as they want.

And I assume you’re happy for freedom of speech for all those who say 'behead all those who don't follow what I follow'?
Theres a difference between making a statement or commenting on an issue. That is the differentiator in freedom of speech.

Offending someone by saying something they don't like or insulting them IS freedom of speech. Actively calling for someone to be physically harmed is not.

We have laws do deal with that.

You might also want to note that some of KH's comments fall into your last sentence.
