Race being the sole determinant of what words you can use is the very epitome of racism. If a word is that bad, then no-one should use it, regardless of race. It gives the lie to all the power dynamics nonsense in CRT when it is only white people who have words that are off limits.
I heard mention of a comedian being cancelled on Headliners but didn't know until today who and why. From a quick look it seems to be 'orchestrated' by someone/organisation called Red Collective which it appears was contacting venue(s) where Alfie is/was appearing threatening 'peaceful but preventative action'. Their/his Twitter Feed now has the following 'Following a number of threats and defamatory posts about me today, I've been forced to contact Police, who are enroute. I will not be targeted simply for standing up against racism and will now take some time out to protect my mental health. I hope you all have a great day.' Many replies along the lines of Solidarity comrade etc. Seems that trying to destroy someone's career is fine as long as it's the left firing the bullets, any return fire and they scream at the injustice of it. The left appear to be very organised on Twitter and able to mobilise support in pursuing and ruining careers of those they despise. I and I suspect many of your supporters do not consider ourselves of the far right but centre or small c anti woke/cancel culture. How should we confront these attacks on Free Speech comedy??? Anyone????
Yes, have you read the above article? I include his tweets in that and the exact quote you cite. And I've since tweeted about the update you mention, where he suddenly claims to be the victim. The fact he has retreated actually suggests we are doing a decent job defending this one, though it may not help Alfie.
Why doesn't he just tell them to Fuck Off. He'll sell more tickets.
Need to be brave with these totalitarian wankers.
