Farage is very clear on what Brexit is, Brexit is a failure.

The OBR estimates a 4% hit to GDP from Brexit. Not my idea of a success, why even Farage says ‘Brexit has failed’. https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/the-economy-forecast/brexit-analysis/#assumptions

The only thing I recognize is your resort to your self stroking grievance. If Target want to sell T-Shirts with dumb stuff written on them, and there are people dumb enough to buy them, I’m good with it. If the same people want to broadcast their stupidity by wearing these T-shirts, I’m good with that too. Though I would suggest they do wear them to job interviews, or indeed anywhere they wish to make a positive impression.

Your linked article is behind a paywall.

Of course, it was the Remainers’ fault. Farage is only right about one thing. Brexit has failed.

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?

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?

Their choice. Do you have a problem with businesses making their own decisions?

The limits of protest do not extend to making threats. Don’t fret, I’m sure Target understand their customer base.

They need to be entitled to sell it before they can sell it to make money. Why that needs explaining is a mystery.

I think that’s one of those rightwing accusation confession things.

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?

I’m not being disingenuous, violent rightwing attacks motivated by rightwing hatred of LGBT are acting. I suspect Target know this.

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.

I guess violent rightwing attacks motivated by their LGBT hatred aren’t a thing then?!

Target sell stuff that people want to buy. I suspect, I might be wrong, there are people who want to buy this stuff.

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.

“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.

On what basis do you speak for ‘most people’?

Ad hominem (again).

I remember insulting clients/customers ever being in any job description I ever signed. There’s a simple fix, fire them.
