Leo Varadkar: “Despite what other people may say, I am actually somebody who believes in free speech — but there have to be limitations and standards." The ‘but’, as always, is the giveaway word that distinguishes between those who believe in free speech, and those who believe…

@Casey5122dark Look at the atrocious scandals that the Irish Gov. would have buried if not for social media. There was a time in Ireland when newspapers & RTE were the only source of information. Look back & see the scandals they got away with because of Gov controls. Now they want it back.

@Casey5122dark So likes of privately-educated @LeoVaradkar & Tanya Cohen (who?) get to decide if something I say “offends, insults, demeans, disrespects or violates basic human rights”. No thanks. I’d trust Putin more as a judge of acceptable speech than Leo NGO Varadkar or some quango creep

@Casey5122dark Yup, the word ‘but’ negates everything said prior to it.

@Casey5122dark We must have free speech unless we don't like it then?

@Casey5122dark Do you think there should be absolute freedom to say or publish whatever one likes? Even if it's potentially harmful to individuals, groups, or society as a whole?? Does truth matter?

@Casey5122dark Maybe he should have said among like minded people. But then he is a politician.

@Casey5122dark Imagine he said 'despite what other people may say, I am actually somebody who believes in women's rights to work and vote — but there have to be limitations and standards." Either you believe in immutable rights or you don't, the caveats give away your true feelings.

@Casey5122dark I believe in free speech. Free speech is not consequence free, you are responsible for what you say, or write, it's not free to hate.

@Casey5122dark Also - Leo Varadkar’s belief is neither here nor there - freedom of speech is protected by national, international and natural law. Free speech with “limitations” is oxymoronic.

@Casey5122dark It's as clear as mud but (sorry) the proof of the pudding will be in the eating 👀😱😜. Are we ALL(that's means you also Varadker & Tanya) looking forward to your slice of the pudding. It could turn out to be posonious. It's the law of unintended consequences. Free Enoch Burke😠

@Casey5122dark Free speech for him, control for the rest of us. It's beyond me why people want to be politicians in the first place unless it's a need to control others.
