Time to play dirty? Lessons from the David Starkey affair : Comments

By Paul Collits, published 21/7/2020

Cancel culture is all around. It crushes rational debate and destroys freedom of thought and speech. The latest victim is the eminent British historian David Starkey.

Why didn't the Brits "cancel" Guy Fawkes over his "Gun Powder Plot" attempted terrorism.

Instead they made a bonfire celebration out of it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes#Legacy

A celebration we Aussies can't celebrate on 5th of November bushfire season.

Sorry, nothing of merit here, just a risible rant? And, in my view, a diabolical diatribe against all those he disagrees with? All of who can be dismissed a lefties. [The holocaust can't have been too bad, given there are plenty of Jews left?] To use the Gentleman's BLM, logic/arguement.

And I believe, typical of the lunatic right? Who don't understand why they no longer win debates?

Time to play dirty? Have those on the extreme right, utra priveleged elite, ever played else? Or ever listened to the other side, save to counter opposing views, with their lunitic's logic?

Meanwhile the real cancel "culture" with its "beautiful bombs" and its murderously reasonable intentions is getting bigger and stronger every day:
