I’ve written several article for here about the odious bunch of censorious leftists who call themselves Stop Funding Hate. You can find these articles here, here, here and here. This Stop Funding Hate group would put the Kray Twins to shame because of the manner in which they conduct their campaigning. Basically, Stop Funding Hate’s (SFH) campaigning activities mostly, from what I can see, comprise of finding something in the media that they don’t like, telling the media organisation in question something along the lines of ‘nice media company you’ve got there, shame if something happened to it’ and then mobilising their members and other leftists to go after the advertisers that support said media company. Sometimes this tactic is successful as it was with the now defunct Paperchase company who were pressured by SFH to stop advertising in the Daily Mail, but in other cases where the management is more robust, SFH get told to ‘go forth and multiply’.

Because I’m disgusted and alarmed by this bunch of appalling censors, I was delighted to see that concern about this group and its activities have reached the House of Lords where Baroness Fox of Buckley has, during a debate into the Online Safety Bill, taking aim at Stop Funding Hate. Baroness Fox told the House of how SFH objected to a Daily Telegraph article discussing the issue of women’s sports and the growing presence of biological males invading women’s sports. SFH kicked off and called the article ‘bigotry’ and then went on to pressure companies advertising in the Daily Telegraph. Baroness Fox described this action as SFH using corporate power to restrict freedom of the press and freedom of speech.

You can see Baroness Fox voicing her criticisms of how SFH act and its effects on freedom of speech at 6:50 in the video embedded below.

Well done Your Ladyship for bringing into the Chamber your criticisms of the actions the odious bunch of left wing censors called Stop Funding Hate.
