    Your linked article is behind a paywall.

    Of course, it was the Remainers’ fault. Farage is only right about one thing. Brexit has failed.
  3. Chomper Higgot
    So what’s this about ‘Brexit has failed’? And why is the UK the only G7 nation not to have recovered its economy to pre-pandemic levels?
  4. Chomper Higgot
    Two points. Firstly the right to express an opinion does not extend to making threats. There are no ‘rights to express opinions’ while within somebody else’s business premises. The business owner might permit the expression of opinions but there is no right to express opinions, the business owners may at any time withdraw permission to express opinions within their business premises without infringing any rights.

    If you don’t like the answer you get or don’t get to a question you ask, stop asking the question. I can get through most days without asking questions I won’t like the answer/non answer to, I’n almost sure you can too.

    I’d have no problem with that at all. If someone wants to buy such a T-shirt and wear it in public I’d have no problem with that either. Now can you explain this double standard you referred to?
  7. Chomper Higgot
    Their choice. Do you have a problem with businesses making their own decisions?
  8. Chomper Higgot
    The limits of protest do not extend to making threats. Don’t fret, I’m sure Target understand their customer base.
  9. Chomper Higgot
    They need to be entitled to sell it before they can sell it to make money. Why that needs explaining is a mystery.
  10. Chomper Higgot
    I think that’s one of those rightwing accusation confession things.
  11. Chomper Higgot
    It’s an example of rightwing attacks on a minority, it has precedent in rightwing attacks on Jews. You are defending the threats to Target on the matter of LGBT merchandise, it’s perfectly logical to ask would you defend such threats to Target for selling merchandise for other groups towards which the rightwing have a history of hatred?
  12. Chomper Higgot
    I’m not being disingenuous, violent rightwing attacks motivated by rightwing hatred of LGBT are acting. I suspect Target know this.
  13. Chomper Higgot
    I don’t care what portion of Target’s customer base is LGBTQ, target are entitled to sell goods not prohibited by law. Correct me if I’m wrong.
  14. Chomper Higgot
    I guess violent rightwing attacks motivated by their LGBT hatred aren’t a thing then?!
  15. Chomper Higgot
    Target sell stuff that people want to buy. I suspect, I might be wrong, there are people who want to buy this stuff.
  16. Chomper Higgot
    The constant stream of anti LGBT angsts coming out of the rightwing culture war mongers suggests otherwise. I don’t recall ever having somebody’s ’alternate life style’ thrown in my face. I suspect is a case of offended right wingers looking for something to be offended over.

    RIP Tina. Thanks for your music, thanks for your unforgettable shows.

    The removal of a book from a library is removing it from access. Within the school’s jurisdiction over the library access to that poem has been banned. Rightwing cancel culture on full display.
  19. Chomper Higgot
    “And then, I guess, there is a huge group of people who just think life should go on without mentioning LGBT all the time.” Surely this group of people must be getting sick of rightwing authoritarians banging on about LGBT all the time.
  20. Chomper Higgot
    On what basis do you speak for ‘most people’?
  21. Chomper Higgot
    Ad hominem (again).
  22. Chomper Higgot
    I remember insulting clients/customers ever being in any job description I ever signed. There’s a simple fix, fire them.
  23. Chomper Higgot
    Or so you would have us believe.
  24. Chomper Higgot
    If I chose to buy or not buy a product then I’m making a consumer choice. If I threaten others for any reason at all then I am not making a consumer choice, I’m making threats. But these are anti LGBT threats, so Yeh, you cast them as ‘consumer choice’. Another circle lands in the unitary Ven Diagram of hate.

    Remember those Republican accusations of ‘cancel culture’. You guessed right, it was a confession.
