I'm all for free speech but we need to draw the line somewhere and this moron is potentially able to have a dangerous effect on the hard of thinking.

Hmmm, David Icke - say no more TTT.

[Bobbisox1]

I thought he was locked up for his own safety lol

[douglas9401]

'conspiracy theorist'?

Certifiable moon barker might be more accurate.

Having said that I'd be interested to know where, exactly, this line would be drawn.
Vengence from God stuff? Anti-vaxxer stuff? The rapture is coming stuff? Punishment for same-sex marriage stuff?
All mental in my book but these loons need to be exposed for what they are.

A lot of things are potentially damaging to the hard of thinking but who decides where to draw the line? Silencing people is a slippery slope. Today him, tomorrow who knows? You perhaps.

[Zacs-Master]

OK. So Icke believes we’re ruled by space lizards. Then, how come those space lizards put someone in charge who got the virus!!!

Gotcha, Dave.

[ToraToraTora]

well naomi if I start talking at his level of delusion then please silence me!

[Gromit]

Obviously didn’t watch it, but I have seen other Icke interviews where it appears he is being exploited because he is off his rocker. He is there to be laughed at, not to be taken seriously.
So I do not agree he is dangerous or this show was irresponsible.
Tend to be of the opinion it was cruel, the concept cheap and nasty, and everyone involved should hang their heads in shame.

[ToraToraTora]

I more or less agree gromit but some are stupid enough to burn down 5g ,masts on the strength of his outpourings.

[Gromit]

Tora,
So stupid, that 2 of the 3 arson attacks were on masts that were not broadcasting in 5G.
Criminal damage is prosecutable, so after the cops stop hassling shoppers for buying too many Easter Eggs, they can maybe tackle some real crime.
Like Icke, the culprits are not a full shilling. I don’t think Icke is inspiring then, they are all deluded thickos.

[lady-janine]

Should we mock the afflicted?

Does he get Care in the Community?

[aelmpvw]

it's obvious to me that the space lizards/royal family have given us the virus because of the undue criticism they have received ...

[Mozz71]

Something else to blame Harry.and Meghan for eh aelmpvwit? ;o)

[Theland]

There's no gauging how thick some people can be.
1993, after a particularly notorious child murder, a crowd attacked the house of a well known paediatrician, because, well, work it out.

[jim360]

There's a world of difference between silencing people and not inviting them on a TV show.
