Never one to pass by an opportunity for self-promotion or self-publicity the Greater London mayor Sadiq Khan has decided to weigh into the debate surrounding Elon Musk purchasing the Twitter social media platform. London’s pint sized, local economy destroying pillock who presides over a city wracked by street violence said:
Whilst he had a few supporters whining about how ‘hate speech’ is not free speech (reader it is as what might be hateful to one person is perfectly acceptable to another) the vast majority of people on the thread were criticising Khan for being in favour of censorship. Other Twitter users thought, perfectly reasonably in my view, that Khan should concentrate on the important stuff, such as stopping London from becoming ‘Stab City’, rather than whining about how those who disagree with him should not be able to speak.
On this thread Khan did not get the applause that he might have thought he would have got, instead he got a lot to of people pointing out that Khan is an authoritarian censor who is failing to get to grips with the real problems that London faces. Khan is the man who said that terrorism is ‘part and parcel’ of living in a major city and got upset when it was pointed out that the number of terrorist attacks in places like Tokyo is pretty small when compared to for example London. It’s interesting that Khan has chosen to speak out about Twitter and its new owner and has been pretty quiet on such things as the aggressive Muslim speakers who have ruined Speaker’s Corner for many or the women silenced by Twitter and other platforms merely for stating that biological sex exists.
All Khan’s anti-free speech outburst has done is expose to the rest of us exactly what he is, which is a damned snake. The Twitter user Marcher summed up Khan’s opportunistic whining and the support for such whining by the Labour Party when they said that here we have an example of the ludicrousness of the representative of a party ‘that tells the world that men can get pregnant being concerned about misinformation’.
