In the past, I’ve commented on the unhelpful way contributors wander away from the original subject.  Here, no one seems to have understood what the subject is.  It was clear to me that when Mr Farmer used a grandiose headline for his post, saluting a local hero, he was being humorous in order to stir folk up.  He is still succeeding with Iddon and Brooks, repeatedly rising to the bait.  In their most recent contributions, they appear to be talking to one another.  I’ll leave it to Mr Farmer to continue having fun at their expense.

However, I feel that some of their comments lower the tone of the Forum. They resort to personal insult (“Too late chap to try and recover your own low standards” - Brooks) or threatening language (“Give him a slap for me” – Iddon).  One may not agree with what someone has written, but it is surely possible to discuss it in courteous terms.   One may not agree with what Mr Chadburn has written, but he writes sensibly and offers something of substance that is susceptible of discussion and earns respect for that.  It is an old-fashioned thing called decorum.  Let’s be old-fashioned. 

This post is about Young’s Free Speech Union.  People seem to have commented on everything Young has ever said but ignored what alone is relevant here, his Free Speech Union.   Mr Farmer raised other issues: police wasting time investigating non-crime hate incidents, students dictating what should be on the curriculum of their university and Ealing adopting the definition of “islamophobia”.   Does anyone have anything to contribute?
