"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult or from hurt feelings - it is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit." A great quote from Ann Widdecombe.

Anne's speech is a perfect example of why I think we should respect, value and honour our elders. They are not a burden and an impediment to chasing the almighty dollar (or Pound if you're a Brit like me). More often than not they are the best people to ask for knowledge and wisdom, priceless qualities that we need to move our lives forward. Every ancient society (and perhaps "primitive" by our standards) knows to respect their elders for this reason. Every tribal society respects their elders. Even in rich, well developed nations like China and Japan elders are respected. It has become a societal trend in the West to put grandma in a home the moment she causes us any work. I say NONSENSE! Look after your own, listen to them and you will benefit from it.

Ann was so right when she said that when we seek to prevent the free speech of those we disagree with, all we do is drive them underground. Whilst we can hear the words being spoken we have the opportunity to disagree and denounce them.

I was born in China, and am currently living in US, I wholeheartedly support Mrs Widdecombe's stand. For a lot of western people, especially for those who lived in the free societies since WWII, you have no idea what it looks like and feels like when there is No Platform for your speech. Please listen to the wise lady, or ask your friends whowho ever lived in a dictatorship or totalitarian country.

I had lived through a totalitarian government where you are not allowed to criticized the government. People supporting censorship don’t know that they themselves will be censored and will lose their voice sooner or later. People that denies the Holocaust never happened will one day find out that their own existence never happened. People kept in concentration camps was a testament that evil have no regard for life or compassion just to proved that they can silenced people and make them irrelevant. We have to remember that there are children that went through the concentrations camps and experienced the evil and wickedness of human beings at that time.

What concerns me more than anything is that this proposition was even up for serious debate. I hadn't realised that the no platforming or cancel culture had become such a serious threat. Ann's arguments were perfection. You must me able to express your opinions and have them challenged.

I totally agree with Ann. We should be able to debate. Who wants to go back to an era where you dare not say the wrong thing or you will be arrested. I too remember those soldiers who returned from WW2. There were so many limbless men walking the streets or asking for help to cross the roads as they had been blinded in the war. The young people these days have no experience of what they went through.
