Anyone who thinks Rod Liddle actually advocated making it harder for Muslims and young people to vote is an idiot. My take from his article is the point most people are missing entirely - that political parties have effectively used sectarian identity politics to carve up the electorate into vote banks.
This knee-jerk vilification of Rod against the backdrop of ACTUAL calls for older people being prevented from voting at all - political euthansia, if you will - with nary a protest or condemnation or the slightest bit of outrage is a dangerously disturbing trend.
What's even more disturbing is how satire, poetic license, criticism and lampooning are now labelled as manifestations of blasphemy.
Yes, blasphemy. In two thousand bloody nineteen.
Mark this, dear reader, if we continue down this road, the way back will be fraught with terrible suffering. Resist it while you still can, or forever lose the right to do so. The West is the last bastion of free speech, and to let it succumb to tyrannical policing will be the end of us all.

Correct - freedom of speech is obviously under threat. It's gone from the BBC for a start.
