Utter horse manure.

You ignore people like Farage, you wont "defeat" him with reason, cos hes unreasonable and will just keep shifting the goalposts.

The problem has been the platform he has been given, people like him WANT engagement, they WANT people to debate them cos it amplifies the hate.

Trying to silence him and exclude him just makes him stronger. It empowers him as he will say to gullible people that have a grievance "we are being silenced" "we have no voice"

He did it over Brexit for years

You beat his game by taking him on. You out debate him. You give better policies and work for the electorate better than him

Otherwise you are giving him what he wants. A reason for people to support him

Not only destroyed it, he has become the total over-seer. On the radio yesterday they were talking about the people previously banned for hate speech that he has reinstated - Tommy Yaxley, Trump, jordan peterson, Andrew Tate etc. Allowing a narcissistic ego maniac control the biggest platform in the world has created absolute havoc.

Banning twitter is a far more legitimate protest than any of tis guff we have seen recently

How's that going, then?

I thought we'd been doing that for the last 15 years, and he's only become more and more influential.

Fascism is not a legitimate political platform and should not be debated, only crushed.

That binary narrative isn't helpful

You don't crush someone by excluding or silencing them. You crush them by being better than them in terms of your policies and presenting that to the electorate

I don't expect you to understand.

You are a lot like him.

Who ever controls the media controls the public sadly. Spoke to some people from Leicester and they went on about how the S*n is the only paper worth reading.

Listen to yourself. You're advocating giving the far right a voice.
