This is a video I published almost 2 years ago on YouTube. I'm always keen to move old content to 3speak as I never know when my YouTube Channel will be deleted.
Original description: "Going over a back and forth discussion with the Press Complaints Commission sent in by the EDL over the continued use of the term far-right."
I'm sharing this now because today word comes that Brendan O'Neill, a well renowned writer and journalist, has fought a battle with the Independent far-left, progressive blog (formerly a Newspaper) because they've decided he is now part of the far-right. He isn't. Just as Tommy Robinson and the EDL were not far-right a decade ago. And Tommy has fought the the label but once it stuck, it stuck.
I managed to get the Daily Mail to at least acknowledge that the only reason they called the EDL and Tommy "far-right" was because everyone else did. They couldn't come up with any evidence or reasoning as to why they warranted that description.
Here is the full story of how the @independent smeared Brendan O’Neill as “far right” and then refused to admit their error even when proven wrong.
