    I mean, is it not the same vein as when we say you should punch a nazi?

    Now I mean obviously, he’s wrong and all the rest of it, but I don’t think these kinds of hypotheticals are calls for violence.

      The main difference is the Linham has a history that means it’s probably not a hypothetical. He’s already appearing in court on the fourth for harassing a trans woman and breaking her phone.

        The whole tweet was a hypothetical scenario.

        If he’s harassing somebody, then that is a separate matter.

        I’m not condoning his opinions, I don’t agree with him, but I think we should all consider how this might apply to the things we have the freedom to say here (something I am very much in favour of keeping).

      I think we should shoot nazis. Primarily because they are traitors to King and Country.

      I do not think the “punch a nazi” thing was every hypothetical
