Comment on Anger Over Oxford Union’s Tommy Robinson Invite Amid Suggestions of GB News Deal

Deplarforming and silencing people whose views you dislike seems like a petty form of bullying to me.

People should be allowed to express views and have them challenged.

I believe that when people feel like a particular political movement is trying to silence them and control the narrative in this way: it only strengthens their opponents.

Many of us are here on Summit because we basically got “deplatformed” for political views around Israel: I ask you if that deplatforming has reduced or strengthened your convictions?
