Oh FUCK OFF

actually i don't believe in free speech and neither do you, so let me stop you there.

Oh fuck me it's the holocaust apologist guy from stripy pyjamas
-
Well knowing how neonazis want to weaponize everything, like the proud fascist guy at Jubilee said, I doubt he is even sincere here. I would not be surprised if he is just grifting again, simply lying and acting.
Bigots can’t just hate, they have to be loved by everyone while hating.
-
- Nothing at all.

Ah! It’s the corporate tour of cancellation, all inclusive, inc. 1 longform uncritical interview on Newsnight, 4 Times articles including a supportive editorial comment. All of the above are invoice-able, expenses included.
-
-
Is it still cancellation when you have no idea who the person is?
-
-
He's really hoping to become the new Glinner isn't he?
-
John made my Jewish child so upset when his middle-school English teacher assigned the striped pajamas book. This is a man who has done a lifetime of harm.
-
📢 Free speech includes the freedom to say that you are a bigot and I don't like what you are saying.
-
Still more column inches of silence from the cancelled Boyne.
-
We’ve hit the point now in so called cancel culture where I no longer have any idea why these people are claiming they were cancelled—I only ever learn of them because they were given a platform to decry that they were.
The jig of it all.
-
Here we go again 💰💰💰
-
Couldn't have put it better myself.
-
"Is the cancelation with us in the room right now, John?"
-
Since bluesky won't let us wish “ill” on despicable bigots, I wish this cunty imbecile a speedy and restful recovery after he falls into a pit of venomous cobras. All the best!
-
No idea who you are, Marcus, but I’m following you for this. Looking forward to finding out. I used to think Boyne was simply misunderstood until he became a Rowling acolyte and now a professional victim.
-
What a fucking loser
-
Moaning about “Free speech” again 🙄
You’ve got your free speech mate, that’s why so many people think that you’re a repulsive prick.
-
There's so many things he's done that should mean no-one takes him seriously. And yet, here we are.
-
God I WISH it was that fuckin' easy to never hear from these assholes again. Rowling would have been shouted into nothing like Pennywise in It: Chapter 2 years ago.
-
"Help, I'm cancelled!!"
gets a whole-ass article published about it
-
Unfuckable
-
Let's face it... This was the long con all along...
-
I used to love cancelling fascists, back in the day.
-
What happened, John? Did they send Link off on a quest to find the Master Sword to defeat you?
-
I can’t be bothered to look up this person. There’s more important things going on:
Release the Epstein Files!
-
That's the only appropriate response to this twat - regardless of the situation
-
That smug grin, fucking cone head
-
This but for transphobic authors…
-
Oh, feels robbed of his chance to win does he?
-
John Boyne: Free speech is when other people can't say anything against ME.
-
I particularly like the part where he says that the 821 signatures of his professional peers objecting to his inclusion were irrelevant because the names weren’t famous enough
-
...This is where I explain why you can't refuse to be associated with me no matter how abhorrent you find my past statements...
-
Not even vampires have as little capacity for self-reflection as this goober.
-
Thing about Free Speech is, if you say some disgusting shit, people have an equal right to leave you to wallow in it.
Protest is also free speech. What a wanker.
-
Is it "Poor me, I got my own article in The Telegraph"
-
How many of the other authors have gotten a whole write up in a national newspaper? 🤔
-
I am fucking tired of people twisting free speech beyond its meaning. Free speech protects individuals and media from government retaliation for criticism.
It doesn't protect bigots from consequences when they say something bigoted. Hope he gets a swift kick in the crotch by a horse.
-
These people haven’t yet grasped that they do have freedom of speech.
What they want is freedom from consequence.
John has the right to say horrible things. The consequence being others might think he says horrible things.
It’s a life lesson you might expect a 6 year old to be grappling with.
-
I went to look him up as I had no idea who he was. Thankfully my web browser thought I was going to type "John Boyega", so that's nice 😜
-
🙄
-
Nothing screams canceled like a full page and pictures in a newspaper…🙄
-
That’s not even a real photo someone just typed ‘bellend’ into midjourney
-
I look forward to his story arc in three year's time where he ends up selling supplements and horse paste from videos shot in his car
-
Saying hateful things will cause people to withdraw from you.
Freedom to opine leaves us all with any consequences.
-
It’s always “THEY’RE mean because they cancelled me” rather than “I’m a shit person actually”
-
Man given a news paper column to talk about being silenced shocker!
-
Gonna be expensive to reprint all the dictionaries with the new definitions
Freedom of speech (n) : the fundamental human right to receive prestigious awards
-
Canceled? He's got his own personal wikipedia page!

-
Polari was founded by long-time ally of the ultra-conservative 55 Tufton Street organisation LGB Alliance.
It's not just about his book, the Polari prize founder is hostile to queer people.
-
Which fucking rag gave him a pedestal? I'm probably already boycotting them, but everyone should

-
If you judge authors by their politics you will never read Dostoevsky
-
"they tried to cancel me for my beliefs, and it worked because my beliefs are wrong"
-
This is why the right of freedom of association is so essential a companion to the freedom of speech: free speech without the freedom for everyone else to shun you and walk away and do their own thing is just a gift to bullies.
I believe in your right to free speech, but also in my right to leave.
-
Social consequences are good, actually.
Fascists crying they're not popular anymore
Awwwww... lines up rifle
-
I'm assuming from the font this is either Times or Telegraph. Famously, they are interested in this prize every year, in the same way Reform is always interested in protecting girls.
-
Man this guy doesnt fucking get it does he? #transrightsarehumanrights.
-
And now begins the "I'm being silenced" tour of several national newspapers
-
Muh freeze peach! 🍑
-
Yeah. Fuck this guy. Free speech should have limits. And this is it… Never tolerate intolerance. We made the mistake of tolerating intolerance in the name of “freedom of speech”, and that’s why we’re being overrun by fascists right now. This guy can go fuck right off.
-
Ah yes the old 'let me complain about being cancelled in a national newspaper' routine.
-
So weird to go: "I'm not mad! Put it in the national newspaper that I'm not mad, and prove I still look like a smug toe who cares more about my precious freeze peaches than members of the community who made it possible for me to exist. Help me spew my ciswhite brainpuke!"
And the rags hop to it. 🙄
-
For someone who's been silenced, he sure is loud.
-
It’s so fucking tedious and predictable now it’s almost offensive.
-
"Here's what happened when a dozen of my fellow authors found my views so vile they couldn't bear to be associated with me, even peripherally"
I wish John the very best of luck as he launches his new career as One Of The Good Ones Providing A Fig-Leaf For Bigotry
-
Another TERF millionaire having to speak out about being "cancelled".
What a hardship.
-
On top of it all, he's an insufferable looking prick.
-
-
I still don’t know who this is other than another whiny transphobe
-
Wish that Hairy Porter and the goblet of transphobia could be cancelled
Too much money involved for that to happen though, presumably
-
'cancelled' people never seem to have trouble finding a platform huh
-
Every talentless hack has to kick off their “Mommy they cancelled me!!!” Publicity tour sooner or later.
-
Nobody tried to cancel him but now I really think they should. He seems to want it so bad, wants to feel persecuted.
-
The Cissupremacist Paper of Record
-
Free speech for me (being horrible) but not for thee (refusing to celebrate me for being horrible)
-
-
This is absolutely written in bad faith. The "you can't say [some old bullshit that you can definitely always say] without being cancelled" thing is just pathetic. It makes him look pathetic.
-
Yet another 'cancelled' person who now seems to be everywhere
-
Lol who published this
-
We're supposed to believe in free speech says the man who's had 2 Guardian columns in 1 week
-
God he's tiresome 😴
-
while we're telling him to fuck off, what the hell is he wearing?
it's like the bastard child of a cardigan sweater and a polo shirt
-
It's so bizarre. He has made his free speech heard, loud and clear, which is why many people who find his opinions disgusting refuse to be associated with him.
He's not been cancelled, he's been amplified. I certainly never even heard of him before all the publicity he's gotten from all of this.
-
His understanding of free speech seems as sound as his understanding of many of the issues he attempts to write about ...
-
And likely a new terf grifter is born. These traitor to their own communities grifters, seem to love to find out the hard way how fash cis/het world will use them up and eventually discard them. Enjoy the vacuous cancellation tour.
-
Is this not 'freeze peach'? Or are people forced to pretend they think this stuff isn't repulsive?
-
Not sure if 'Doing a Partridge' is a thing, but if it is....
-
He’s just a parody of cancel culture
-
Free speech is when I get a prize. Free speech is NOT when people criticise me or a prize awarding organisation decides to pause their prize giving.
-
What a prick. I wish him exactly what he wishes on trans people and the women who support them.
-
What free speech of yours did they object to, John?
-
Yes indeed. Silly person.
-
Free speech to someone like this really just means "you should be forced to listen to what I say and can never disagree".
-
John they cancelled the awards because they're aware how humiliating it would be to them and to you to have to give it to you by default
-
Has he tried not being a transphobic bigoted cunt?
-
-
I have been SILENCED!!!
-
It's amazing how these people always think "freedom of speech" means "nobody's allowed to use their speech against me!".
-
He’s a Veeted testicle parading as a human
-
Should’ve been cancelled after writing his first crap holocaust-minimising book. Shit writer, bad intent.
-
If Boyne intended to present himself in a good light, he failed. His condescension and mean-spiritedness are palpable.
-
freeze peaches is when other people aren't allowed to criticize me 😤😤😤😤
-
-
who's "they" john?
-
An archive link to the piece, in case anyone especially wants to read the kind of bilge that the Telegraph prints: archive.is/niINf

-
This egghead is so boring.
-
Tried to cancel him? They gave up nominations for an award because they didn't want to be associated with him.
It was self-defense, your honour!
-
Boyne does not believe in free speech .. the silly twat does not understand irony .. his claim to be a femanist is untrue .. he is a Masculinist.
-
muh free speech
-
-
being an unashamed bigot is the biggest grift of the century
-
day 19458439583953 of fascists being on the news going "IM BEING SILENCED"
-
My faggot ass doesn't even know who that is. 😏
-
Man is this shit tiresome.
-
fascinating that the /other people/ involved are NOT allowed 'free speech' though
-
okay so he's a piece of shit, but what the fuck is up with that fit? "What do people find are normal human clothes?" "Let's see... Short sleeve shirts? Cable-knit sweaters?" "Gotcha. Get me a cable knit short sleeve shirt." "Wait... what?"
-
In the Nazigraph no less. Prioritising being a white cis gay over solidarity with the rest of the LGBTQ community. Many such cases
-
Oh, I see he’s had time to reflect and better himself.
What a prick.
