Arguing against tolerance in defence of tolerance?That's what he's done. That's what the context tells us. And in that, he wants to go further than the law in policing and curtailing free speech in the name of protecting such values as free speech. If Orwell was alive today, he'd be turning in his grave.
One of those traditional British values is supposed to be something called Rule of Law. What he said is fundamentally incompatible with it. Absurdly, given what he said about democracy and other such values, that arguably puts him on the wrong side of what he's calling for, by calling for it - what a pillock!
I look forward to the principled Tory backbench rebellion against this.
