      Oxford Union is actually beginning to scare me! Katie Hopkins?? Take a look at her Wikipedia page and try to swallow the fact that this is someone that Oxford University sees as a reasonable representative of conservative opinion. I have never in my life been so happy to not be associated in any way with Oxford. If you're going to have Katie Hopkins at Oxford Union debates why not Alex Jones or the current Grand Wizard of Ku Klux Klan, or just cut to the chase and just hold your debates at Broadmoor?

      Yep totally agree, I remember when I first saw her on Alan sugars apprentice, she WON the position hands down but Lord sugar asked her did she really need this job as her current job paid her the same salary if not she was already earning a tad more so she did the Nobel thing and pulled out so her colleague who came so close in 2nd place take the role as she was totally cable and the salary would give her and her family a life changing amount of money each month, roughy about 7500k per month after tax and NI taken. Looking back at at Katie it was a lovely thought and gesture so under all that anger and armour there is a moralistic heart, It was quit hard to hear what was happening about it all but managed to see her nice side!!

Now more than ever we are on a "precipice" in terms of losing the very fabric of free society and being told what we can/can't see, say, hear, think etc. Free speech (and free thought) is more endangered than ever and something we are going to have to fight for!

  • @ChuddmasterZero
    @ChuddmasterZero 4 роки тому +297

    Katie’s final point is all that needs to be said. We either want a world where we put others in a position to decide what we are allowed to hear, or we expose ourselves to all opinion and ideas in the search for a broader understanding with our own reason and intelligence as a guide to deciding what to embrace and what to discard.
    It is nothing less than hubris to claim you can assess and evaluate ideas without a genuine attempt to listen to and understand them.

    • @brynleytalbot778
      @brynleytalbot778 4 роки тому +9

      ChuddmasterZero Sadly this world is dawning. The result depicted in 1984 is effected by the means in Brave New World. Debate is reduced to a mere expletive laden line in the comments section. It's facile to ever think social media gives us a platform. Very few, even here, write after thinking and analysing the issues raised. Intelligence is feared. Ignorance is promoted. I don't like the class ridden depiction of the dinner suited and evening gowned and I'm rather happy to see it disappear in the audience. But that's where we are. Dress an ignorant imbecile in a suit and they're a crowning glory in business. We've put image before any sane interpretation of potential and ability. And that's why free speech collapses. Our narcissism is resplendent in its superior grandiose enforcement of right and wrong because they are, above all else, right. Narcissists don't debate or agree to differ. They are always right. Is that the society we want? Full of weak Influencers? Sadly, it seems we do.

      Deplatforming does not win a debate, it avoids it by denying the opposing view the same rights you insist on for yourself. Having a debate where only one side is allowed to express themselves is not a debate at all. To make electricity flow, you need at least two opposite poles. magnitism allows for many poles, and is stronger for it. What a boring world where everyone is equal, equally intelligent, equally paid, equally employed equally unimportant, equally alone with nothing to say because everyone already knows everything equally. Equal opportunity rather than uniformity, and the right to disagree are vital.

      @julie andrews She has herself to blame, no one else. She had a platform and abused her position with childish insults, slurs and derogatory comments to sell a newspaper. I understand free speech, but she said some slanderous things about people. I do think she was ill-advised and in some respects, a bit naive. The Sun and Daily Mail encouraged her to be outrageous and controversial, but when things got rough, they turned on her and discarded her in a flash. I do agree with some of her views on immigration and she does make valid points about terrorism, but for the most part, I think her ego is the cause of a lot of misfortune.
