@JuliaHB1 That assumes Hopkins came there to debate, and is open to listening and thinking

@sunny_hundal I find people often think that someone not agreeing with them is the same as not listening or debating. It's not. -
@JuliaHB1 I'm sure that is the case sometimes. I'm also sure that's not the case with a troll like Hopkins. -
@sunny_hundal she isn't a troll. Just as you aren't a troll. You just don't like what she has to say. Tough. It's a free country. -
@JuliaHB1 Yes, thanks for reminding me its a free country - a point that has no bearing on this argument whatsoever. -
@sunny_hundal you seem to be suggesting (correct me if I'm wrong) that because you don't like what she says, she shouldn't get a platform. -
@JuliaHB1 No, you're wrong. I'm opposed to people being denied a platform or having protests banning her. That's not what happened here. -
@sunny_hundal ok, understood, but you think walking out on someone speaking is useful or helpful in some way? - 4 more replies

@JuliaHB1 Agree with you 98% of time - this time is Brunel I back - she brings no academic, business or reasonable credential to the table. -
@tonyclay6 so the only people who can debate are those with professional qualifications or elected representatives? Hmmm... -
@JuliaHB1 On a panel, surely one seeks 'people with something to add' like you to QT; she brings bile, happy to differ, big fan btw! -
@tonyclay6 then they shouldn't have invited her to debate -
@JuliaHB1 You are right of course. That, sadly, is a fair cop.

@JuliaHB1 Shame. The most naiive thing I've ever heard you say. Would u say it about Daesh? As unrealistic as with#Hopkins.@sunny_hundal -
@chasfax I wouldn't debate with someone holding a gun or wearing a suicide vest, no. FFS -
-
@chasfax those two things are not actually mutually exclusive -
@JuliaHB1 I agree, but I'm talking about a particular case: a professional bigot (whether it's an act or not) who is paid to be unpleasant.
