[royfromaus]

Is he right?

If they removed all the nutcases on FB it would be a pretty quiet place. I think things should be removed only if they incite people to violence or promote racism or homophobia etc. Anything else should be left up for people to form their own opinions as to the sanity of the page owner.

He's harmless if we all think he's batty but clearly not everyone does otherwise 5G masts wouldn't have been vandalised.

[TheChair]

When people start attacking telecoms workers and blowing up lamp posts because they believe his drivel, you can hardly classify him as "harmless".

// He could be influencing people to attack 5G masts or ignore the govt’s advice. //

I did a wordsearch on the coronavirus act (after the police stopped a string quartet performing outside their house last week), and the words "incite" or "incitement" or "encourage" do not appear in any of the 357 pages. just wondering what legal grounds are being enacted if not those of the Coronavirus Act?

[AuntPollyGrey]

TheChair, as far as I know he has not incited anyone to blow up anything.

[Zacs-Master]

Vandalism. Possibly?

[royfromaus]

I can't find a page that belongs to David Ike.

Is the page similar to Jennifer Saunders page?

[Zacs-Master]

Again, roy, I’ve no idea. Are you saying your own link contains inaccurate information?

[Bobbisox1]

Zac then maybe he should be sectioned in that case?

//I suppose letting people with a mental illness have a FB page....//

Oh I forgot. Ms Thunberg does not suffer from illnesses, she suffers from "conditions". As well as that, of course, she is "on message" whereas Mr Icke, it seems, is not.

I only know what he's written from the report as I have no intention of visiting Facebook. From the little I know of him the rest is probably just as nonsensical. What troubles me is that he's being censored. Quite frankly if Facebook has to remove material to protect its users when, among that material are statements that there is no virus and that the Royal Family are lizards, that says more about Facebook's users than it does about Mr Icke. At times like this people need the like of David Icke to remind them of how relatively sane they are. Shame his goalkeeping career was cut short by illness (or was it a "condition"? I'm never sure of the difference). He may not have gone completely barmy.

Shouldn't Facebook remove the United Nations page?


They have run a conspiracy theory revolving around a 12-year time limit to stop a climate change catastrophe.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, so FB is guilty of ‘selective’ fascism?

Again, roy, I’ve no idea. Are you saying your own link contains inaccurate information?


I think you will find the information in the SKY-link has nothing to do with me.

[Zacs-Master]

Possibly, Bobbi.

[Zacs-Master]

So you’re saying you took the time to post a link to illustrate your OP but that it might not be accurate?

What an odd debating modus operandi.

[MWG14]

I can remember when he was on TV frequently and was sane!

[Zacs-Master]

You mean he appeared sane.

[Theland]

Is he not just a delightful British eccentric in the long line of delightful British eccentrics?

[douglas9401]

On the plus side, he doesn't seem to have considered the possibiity of using cleaning chemicals intravenously as a goer.

One up on the most powerful man in the world.

'I can't find a page that belongs to David Ike.'

It's spelt 'Icke'. Will that find it?
