Freedom to Be Left Alone

| 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. | |

Will Not Allow Fearful

|
| 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. | |
