I'm certain that those who are clutching their pearls over Bob Vylan aren't hypocrites and have also called for the news

I have no love for a party which wastes ink every time they are mentioned in print simply because they insist on making "labor" a six-letter word. But killing them seems a little extreme, no?

I thought the progressives LGBTQ++ community were advocates for cuckoldry
Anyway, I'm not concerned about the political makeup of the UK, I just see things and point them out to those who seem not too

We're getting away from the point, which is that Andrew Roberts gleefully calls for the mass extermination of his fellow Brits and, ostensibly, some Scots and (Northern) Irish as well. As a free speech absolutist, I'm not calling for him to be punished, as reprehensible as his words are. I merely find it curious that those snowflakes who were melting down over Bob Vylan and Kneecap have remained mum.

Woah there pickle!
But why are you so concerned about the political makeup of the UK?
Ah yes, because 55.3% of Scots willingly chose to remain cucked to a ****hole country
You brought up the concern for the political makeup of the UK
and
cuckoldry
If you can't stick to the point, you shouldn't fascinate on it

I don’t think they’re calling for literal death of people, but rather for the party beliefs, ideas, etc.
Talk about ****ing pearl-clutching.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -

Why should Roberts get the benefit of having his words interpreted figuratively when the same grace isn't extended to Vylan?
Again, I have no problem with what either of them said. I support people's right to free speech even when that speech is reprehensible. I'm merely pointing out hypocrisy.

“We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs, or any other race or group of people,” the duo wrote in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. “We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine — a machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza.”
It seems clear that their words, like Roberts', were directed at the IDF as an institution and not the individual personnel. In fact, that was clear prior to their clarification.

Perhaps, but the fire in this case is raging on a different continent. I don't expect that anybody who was in the crowd at Glastonbury is a threat to IDF personnel more than 3,000 miles away.

Could Roberts' words not be classified as incitement, given the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox and multiple investigations of death threats against other Labour MPs? Conservative MP David Amess was also murdered, which speaks to volatility of the political situation in the UK in general.
