Time Text
I'm not seeing many Nazi flags.
Distinct lack of swastikas.
Lots of British flags, English flags, Welsh and Scottish flags, but no Nazi flags.
I think I've been lied to.
It's weird.
So I just want to say that I'm kind of disappointed that Ali Dower couldn't be up here.
I don't agree with what he stands for, but I agree with his right to say it.
Yeah, I don't agree with what he stands for, but I agree with his right to say it.
So, what is freedom?
It's a complicated question, but I think you can boil it down to this.
Freedom means nothing if it does not include the freedom to be left alone.
To be left alone to one's own devices so long as they don't interfere with others.
But each of the groups that are opposing us here, they're not going to leave you alone.
You've got the far left, who are basically economic totalitarians.
You've got the Islamists, who are the religious totalitarians.
And they're the ones who want us to shut up.
Each of these groups hates British liberalism because they're totalitarian.
They're totalitarian because they want to erase the distinction between the public and the private.
You will not be able to get away from them because they want to make your personal life their political project.
They will never leave you alone.
They want your property.
They want your identity.
They want your immortal soul and they have a moral compulsion pushing them on.
Their consciences won't let them rest because their belief systems will not permit tolerance of the different.
How much will you concede to these tyrants?
Good.
Every statement they make is in opposition to your natural rights.
You must believe what they believe.
You must act as they act and you must say what they say and don't you forget it.
They do not come offering freedom because none of them are themselves free.
All they can offer you is a share in their servitude.
Misery loves company.
If people shackled by mental chains see those who aren't, their first compulsion is to try and impose their needs and values on you.
Because, as Kanye West recently pointed out, they choose their chains.
They need the safety of oppression, the abdication of moral choice and the consequences thereof.
If something terrible happens, what do they say?
That wasn't real Islam.
That wasn't real communism.
They choose their chains because they are weak.
They are afraid of differences and their own ability to handle things that are different.
They do not trust in their own moral character.
They are afraid of what comes next.
But I can say something they can't say.
I am not afraid, actually given the size of this crowd I'm fucking terrified.
But in principle, I am free.
And I will not allow the fearful to take my freedom from me because they have no faith in themselves.
