What are your views on this? I actually disagree with it. Obviously the guy is a complete bell end but he should be allowed to air his views and then people can debate with him.

Iâm for freedom of speech and then actually debating with these people why I think theyâre wrong.
breaking terms of service on a private website isnât a freedom of speech issue.
even if it was racists donât deserve a platform.

a) freedom of speech doesnât involve forcing private companies to give everyone a platform to say whatever they want
b) any reasonable definition of freedom of speech precludes hate speech
c) what do you hope to gain from conversing with fascists if youâre not sympathetic to their cause?

But surely true freedom of speech has to offend sometimes? I certainly donât agree with anything that man says but let him say it and then hopefully show others that he is a hateful scumbag and why he is.

Why are you assuming it has anything to do with being offended?
There are plenty of reasons to ban someone like Tony Robinson that arent to do with causing âoffenceâ.

I find people like him genuinely interesting and find it difficult that he has the views he does.

why let him say it? all he is doing is trying to incite hatred to a group of people without merit
thereâs absolutely no reason to give him a platform

Maybe it is but what I mean is that I find the things he talks about interesting not his beliefs

Seriously youâre making yourself sound like one to watch out for here.
