Toby & Nick – I simply can’t get podcasts to play on basedmedia.org. I’ve turned off my usual script and cookie blockers. I either play it here or go to YouTube.
Yusufs hate speech law is there to make islamophobia easier to prosecute. Yusuf and his advisers have used this as a Trojan horse to get a law in place which they can then use as a weapon to benefit Muslims. Laughing about this is a bit weird. This is very serious and has long term, major impacts on our speech and politics.
