The Labour Campaign for Free Speech censors criticism without debate!

 

"We stand for unrestricted freedom of speech and publication. Open debate and the right to question ideas, conventions, rules and laws are fundamental democratic rights."

"If free speech doesn’t include the right to offend it is meaningless"

Labour Campaign for Free Speech

These basic tenets of free speech as proposed by the comrades of the so-called Labour Campaign for Free Speech sound highly laudable except they don't actually believe in them.

This group organised a demonstration to support David Miller whose aggressiveness towards Jewish tudents at his University would be clearly racist if aimed at any other ethnic group. Now Free speech is important but we as a society do have limitations especially when hate speech leads to discrimination and puts individuals and groups in potential and real physical danger.

Miller can say what he likes but whether his campaigning is compatible with his role in an academic which brings him into contact with the very people he dismisses as "agents of a foreign power" is something which is highly questionable.

The groups which back him also include Labour In Exile (LIE) who have been shy about a proposal to set up a neo-fascist Anti-Zionist Action campaign seeking out the personal details of where people like me and my family live so others can act. 

Along with Labour Against the Witch Hunt (LAW who campaign for the re-admission of those expelled for antisemitism and other offences plus the equally dangerous Labour left alliance established by renegade members of the Communist Party Of Great Britain (CPGB/Weekly Worker) fail to recognise another problem that actually that no one is censoring them it's just their views are incompatible with membership of the Labour Party.

I already challenged LIE and found my comments removed despite an initial response from one of their admin (believed to be Tina Werkman ex CPGB who accidentally clicked on a friend request after trawling through my personal Facebook timeline. I challenged their removal and found myself banned from commenting. 

Werkman is active in LIW. LAW, and all these other little front organisations including the "Labour Campaign for Free Speech" who I challenged firstly by asking if they would defend Alison Chabloz (who was was imprisoned for holding some views similar to their own) and attaching the Daily Mail article reporting this. A sarcastic comment I admit but rather than debate they removed so I responded thus:

So much for "free speech" and educating through debate if you remove my comment and challenge eh "comrades". It's clear that your campaign isn't about anything but Jew, sorry Zionist bashing defending the worst individuals the so-called "left" has produced. Not sure Miller is on the left in any shape or form. Seems far right to me. I expect you'll block me next like when I challenged your sister organisation LIE.

You can guess what happened.

The Labour Campaign for Free Speech is a fake. Along with the other groups which include individuals who tried to drive the Jewish Labour Movement, one of the Party's oldest affiliates out of the Labour Party. Free speech is only for them and the Jew baiters they seek to defend.

The members of these groups do no belong inside the Labour Party nor frankly decent society. That their views are abhorrent I wouldn't seek to ban them any more than the BNP or National Front with whom they have so much in common. 

Concentration camps or Gulags? Neither thanks!
