ever pay close attention to that steve bannon speech at the oxford union... no? what do you see... if you've ever seen the film the enemy of the state you'd spot the cameo gorillas... so... this is what... "freedom" of speech looks like, these days? i need four wing-men, i need four bouncers to protect me deviating from a freedom of thought? **** me... that surely must cost an arm 'n' a leg... i'm no exactly rich, i can't afford either the freedom of speech, or a judicial process... so... i'm mute... i write... sure... but how can i speak, when freely speaking is an entitlement that requires four bodyguards to guard me, in the ******* oxford union! eh?! freedom, "freedom" of speech... if that's what this, "freedom" looks like... can i veto it, i don't want it and i certainly don't want it protected... let's learn: telepathy... let's run... wild! frankly i rather think... what? my writing was dropped into a public domain... did i earn the 20 quid banknote i found on the street? did i learn of a person's personal finances, outside a bank-machine where someone dropped a bank statement? this isn't talking... this is an extension of thinking... i don't have the sort of money to "freely" speak... i'm no steve bannon, courted by four bodyguards... at, of all places... the ******* oxford union... what are we talking about?! sure as **** not thinking.
