When the right talk about free speech, they only defend the free speech of bigots and right-wing politicians.

As soon as someone disagrees with them or calls them out, suddenly speech isn't so free after all.

For our American brethren, Nigel Farage is the head of the far-right Reform party that mostly runs on anti-immigrant / LGBTQ hatred and fake free-speech claims.

It's a rebrand of the UKIP party (United Kingdom Independence Party) that were the chief people behind the disaster that was Brexit, which Farage was the leader of at the time.
