welshbairn Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 56 minutes ago, Detournement said: It's always worth remembering that the "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" argument was created to suppress the speech of pacifists and non interventionists who were organising against Americans being sent to the human grinder of the Western Front of WW1. It's instructive because it's an example of speech being limited under false pretences to serve power. It's a bit dull that the far right's continual whines are freedom of speech and a right to express an opinion, which have never existed in reality without risk of a severe slapping, especially when they're in power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a grip. You don't know the guy in question or his mate that tested positive or where they were on Monday evening. Now the pub is open, disinfected and the pints can flow again into pint glasses and food can be served from the kitchen in plates and bowls for the soup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
