    Also, in the episode where he's Kevin Finnerty and can't find his bag, I always interpreted the bag as representing his life. I found those episodes quite random tbh. I also found Tony to be unnecessarily mean to the corrupt cop Makazian.

    Not for a non-criminal tweet. However, people have been convicted under the Communications Act for posts such as the Count Dankula case I mentioned previously. As I said in my earlier post, it seems that, for some, the priority is preventing speech they consider harmful rather than protecting...

    *** Official TV Thread ***

    From memory I thought season 4 was the weakest, except for the last episode that makes up for it. The show tackles a lot of important issues: rape, suicide, homosexuality and homophobia, family. One of my favourite episodes is the intervention with Chris. So many quotable lines just from that...

    Sometimes, yes, so I partially agree. But I do think you've oversimplified the issue. Free speech isn't just about defending someone's right to say offensive or racist things. It's a much broader principle. It's about protecting everyone's ability to express opinions, criticise those in power...

    Sure. Whether you agree with what they said isn't really the point—free speech is about protecting speech you dislike too. Count Dankula (Mark Meechan) was convicted under the Communications Act after posting a satirical YouTube video teaching his girlfriend's pug to perform a Nazi salute as...

    Yes she does. She’s very passionate about fairness in swimming and women’s sport in general. I thought Lineker was in hot water because he shared anti semitic posts on Twitter?

    People don't have to be "desperate" to say something for free speech to matter. The whole point is that you don't find out where the line is until someone crosses it. There are plenty of examples where speech has been curtailed or punished. In the UK, people have been arrested or prosecuted...

    Absolutely fine with that. Freedom of speech doesn't mean there shouldn't be consequences. I could point to plenty of examples of the right trying to cancel people on the left—Colin Kaepernick is an obvious one. That said, I do think it's become more of a problem on the left than it was 15...

    Free speech is a good example. I feel like it used to be a left wing cause, and now the right have hijacked it. Free speech should be something everyone advocates for.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I’m a huge Messi fan, unapologetically so. I didn’t like him trying to get Sideshow Bob sent off. Doesn’t alter or affect his legacy in my eyes. He cemented his status as the GOAT by winning the last World Cup. He’s already won every trophy that he needed to win in football. Disappointing ending...

    Pedro Porro

    Pleased for Porro. Had a really solid tournament. Must make you feel 10 feet tall playing in a such a stingy defence. Let’s hope it translates to good form for us next season.

    Richarlison

    Fingers crossed.

    I was impressed with Andy Burnham's speech. The fact that he delivered it without any notes or an autocue made it even more impressive. Time will tell whether he's ultimately a success, but it was certainly a strong performance. I'm less enthusiastic about Ed Miliband being given such a...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    It’s the same debate every tournament. We lose and it’s 100% the manager’s fault always. Nothing to do with the players. I put most of the blame for the other night on Tuchel, but if we're being honest, we've struggled to keep possession at pretty much every tournament I can remember us...
