I am not against unpopular ideas.

I think people who promote ideas that are clearly libelous or promote hate crimes, which are illegal in the UK, should not be given free reign.

No newspaper or TV station in a civilised country could get away with the sentiments I have seen expressed, so why should any other medium?

With freedom comes responsibility. If users are not responsible then they must be policed

I certainly get plenty of antigay slurs hurled at me on my youtube channel, but I’d rather keep the freedom of thought and expression than sacrifice it in the interest of keeping everyone safe from unpopular, unkind ideas. More freedom, not less.
