Fergus Finlay: We mustn’t just censor bigotry, lies or hatred: we must fight back

What Biden started last week against Trump is the right approach. Provided that it is sustained.

SO, WHO should we ban this week? There’s that annoying financial commentator in Ireland who keeps whining on about how the State is fear-mongering about Covid. There’s the Fox News guy who keeps insisting that the assault on Capitol Hill a year ago was no big deal — might even have been a false flag, he says.

There’s the British commentator and former politician — viciously anti-immigrant all his life — who’s now campaigning for the multi-millionaire Novak Djokovic to be allowed to enter Australia just because he wants to.
