    The never knowingly funny Stuart Heritage has obviously drawn the short straw and been forced to put his name to this shite.

    The essence of the article seems to be "If someone says something you don't agree with, don't allow them to speak to you ever again" and is tied up with the latest winner of the Orwellian Name for an Organisation Sweepstake, the "Centre for Countering Digital Hate".

    If you want to know what sort of world we live in, Rachel Riley has had to block 1,500 people on Twitter. That’s right: Countdown’s human calculator has attracted such a swell of antisemitic hatred that she has been forced to silence enough people to fill Sadler’s Wells.

    You hear that you bastards? Any of you that disagreed with anything Saint Rachel said, no matter what the content, you were clearly being anti-semitic.

    He dribbles on for a few hundred words more but loses the plot after his opening defence of la Riley but remember...if people say things you don't agree with, SILENCE THEM!
