Calling himself a “free speech absolutist”, Musk granted an amnesty to hundreds of accounts that had been kicked off the platform. Within hours, those belonging to right-wing Britain First leader Paul Golding, along with former deputy Jayda Fransen and the party itself, reappeared. “We’re absolutely pleased,” Golding says. “Now that we’re back on Twitter, our following is growing very, very rapidly.

      I did. It’s just a bunch of articles, all randomly served up. Looks like common sense immigration policy, common sense environmental policy, that sort of thing.

      Man, y’all are just stuck in your echo chambers, aren’t you?

        You keep using this phrase “common sense”. I don’t think you exactly know what it means.

          Weird. I’m sure it’s a coincidence that a favorite tactic of far right agitators and fascists (world wide) is calling their disgusting views/goals “common sense”.

        Buddy, these are not the people you want to defend. Paul Golding has been arrested a half dozen times for stupid bullshit. He’s been convicted in terrorism charges. Jayda has been arrested with him as well, numerous times for religious aggravated harassment and other things. They are literally a WORSE version of the Marjorie Taylor Greens and Lauren Boebert of the UK.

        And you call all these things “common sense” policies which is laughable. Their environmental “policy” is to just deny climate change completely. So common sense is to ignore the scientific consensus?

        Yeah I don’t think you know what common sense means there friend… its good to take a serious moral inventory of yourself every now and then. Also it might help to brush up on economics, immigration and human empathy… hope you never find yourself in a situation a lot of immigrants find themselves in…

        They really are. People will increasingly move to the right all across Europe because they refuse to compromise. Oh well. Democracy will prevail :)

          Tell you what, give you guys the same kind of compromises you guys give us conservatives. No more immigrants, flat out. We’ll let the ones already inside stay for the moment. Exact same sort of compromise. Sound fair?

            No, because you feel the need to say “for the moment” and give away your fascist end game. You and those like you cannot be trusted in the moment, because you always have your eyes fixed on your personal favorite form of genocide in the future.
