    I was honoured to be invited by @theeconomist to speak as part of their prestigious #openfuture convention - but I cannot in good conscience appear at an event which chooses to dignify a neo-nationalist like Steve Bannon. Unless this decision is reversed, I will not be attending.https://twitter.com/astroehlein/status/1034749083968262144 …

        It looks like an otherwise wonderful event, and everyone needs to make their own decision, but I strongly encourage other attendees and speakers to consider doing the same. Freedom of speech does not require us to dignify bigots with the honour of a keynote. #OpenFuture

        I apologise to the hard-working team at @TheEconomist -I know how carefully you’ve put the panels together and it gives me no pleasure to make extra work for you like this. I hope you can understand why I felt it was necessary.

        We had that "opinion" in the past. So, it literally is NOT the future.

        Replying to @PennyRed @TheEconomist

        This is precisely why the left are losing the argument to the populist right - because they refuse to even take on their arguments. Grow a backbone and show that your solutions are better than his - how hard can it be?

        That's just what a fascist would say. There is no sincere engaging with people who are operating in bad faith. Grow your own backbone and get out of the replies of someone who still has a conscience.

        Good for you, well done. Whilst we all need to listen to a wide range of opinions, that never extends to racism and fascism.
