@LozzaFox @GBNEWS @MarkSteynOnline It’s not against “free speech” to have a set of values to which you adhere or aspire to. One of which is implicitly not condoning misogyny. It’s therefore not “cancel culture” it’s consequences of your actions. Free speech isn’t just saying what you want without consequence.
