Btw @Lauren_Southern, I fully support respecting, protecting boarders - letting kids die at sea not the way though. You've lost my support.

That's just a plainly false narrative. They aren't letting anyone die. They're doing what the Coast Guard should be doing in the first placepic.twitter.com/a1b68US8az

Don't fall for their shit, they don't care about the lives of those fleeing. Neo-nazi Alex Schleyer is on their boat for god sake!
-
+ they can't chuck in "we'll save ppl if we have to" & pretend to care about the lives of those at sea if they don't care about them on land
-
Sorry, but why should they? Not everyone that wants to move somewhere should be automatically let in and given benefits.
-
I don't want them to drown at sea, but I also don't want Europe letting in everybody who wants to come there. I want reasonable immigration
-
That's perfectly reasonable. What isn't reasonable is targeting search and resc missions claiming it'll save lives when the opposite is true
-
But these NGOs offering a taxi service are partly why so many take the risk. They know they'll get picked up and shuttled off to Europe.

He's lying through his teeth. The reason I was banned was because of lobbying by HopeNotHate. Now he's trying to string together an excuse.

Hi Lauren, whether retrospective or not, it sounds like they have a case based on breaking policy. Are they correct on that point?
-
Hey it's their company they can ban me, my point is they are liars. Their decision was clearly political & they don't support free speech.
-
No right of appeal. A very flimsy accusation. Patreon are a business - they can pee on our legs - but don't tell us it's raining!
-
But he has a point: you're not just a jornalist, you're a political activist who tried to stop a rescue ship
-
'Rescue' ship is the real question here. Mostly adult men crossing over from safe countries. That's the point of dispute anyway
-
But adult men from "safe countries" (like Libya) can also drown and need to be rescued
