“A cursory look at coverage of the so-called 'Free Tommy' brigade, centered around the alleged censorship of Tommy Robinson, a notorious anti-Islam campaigner, reveals how liberals shun defending the free-speech rights of the unpalatable.”

“I am ever hopeful that there are generations of young Chinese people who are really thinking about the future and what kind of society they want.”

“You see, Leavers desperately need a psychological win. We need to feel our vote for change can actually change things.”

“Free speech is carelessly tossed to one side in order to silence views and people that liberals label as intolerant.”

“We tell children their wellbeing is paramount, but we are also guilty of mollycoddling them. There's a constant emphasis on their vulnerability, which is proving toxic.”

“I have fought for open immigration which is something I disagree with Nigel Farage on.”

“We've lost a lot of regard for straight forward news stories, and that has then been supplemented by comment, not even analysis, which has created a lot of celebrity journalists.”

“I think there's a presumption of a climate emergency which I don't think there is. I think there's a climate problem, I don't think there's an emergency.”

“We already know that the experience of lockdown is a mixed bag. It is increasingly recognised that for many it can be hellish. Enforced leisure - if you are crippled with worry about debts, insecure job prospects, your family's health - is no holiday.”

“I have a reputation for infamy.”

“As a left-wing campaigner for 35 years, I've been arrested on picket lines, led anti-imperialist demonstrations and spoken at anti-deportation protests outside police stations. I've made speeches at street rallies, in prisons and universities and at pubs.”

“I could be earning a lot of money as a consultant, or gone higher in education.”

“I would never say don't have an argument.”

“One of the great things about journalism, at its best I mean, is its forensic, investigative truth seeking instincts.”

“Whenever excessive regulation is on the horizon, you can guarantee our kids will be wheeled out as a battering ram against adult opposition.”

“Those who politically theorise the artificial concept of 'whiteness' infer that anyone who has white skin cannot escape their unconscious bias. If you object, you are accused of failing to come to terms with your white privilege.”

“Many white people sense that they are being blamed for the sins of white slave owners and imperialists merely through some lineage of ethnicity. Activists' constant stress on white privilege can lead to an unhealthy defensive posture of white victimhood.”

“Without democracy, we are voiceless subjects. But with it, we are citizens armed with the power to change our destinies.”

“The argument about the need to regulate the digital space has to be weighed against freedom of expression in our society, whether we are interacting in a virtual world or in the real world where we have the growth of so-called 'safe spaces.'”

“Sometimes, we just take too much glee in the downfall of people in power.”
