Theresa May is a hypocrite when she preaches about Free Speech

Whilst Theresa May preaches that Homophobes and Racists should be allowed free speech she also refuses to allow 16-17-year-olds the vote killing their free speech and right to vote.

In November last year Tories refused 16/17 years olds the vote without even voting it in the house of commons Labour accused them of using out-of-date Parliamentary rules to ensure the move would be blocked.

The move would have been made law through a backbench Bill by Labour MP Jim McMahon.

But out-of-date Commons rules - which Tories have refused to change means it was blocked. 

So by total coincidence, several Tory MPs spoke for ages in favour of the first law of the day, a popular bid to force police to wear body cameras when they restrain people.

Between them, five Tories spoke for 95 minutes - each droning on for longer than the first Bill's author Steve Reed.

That meant there were just an hour and 28 minutes left by the time it got to the Votes at 16 Bill.

Labour had the 100 MPs needed to force a vote through a "closure motion", aiming to stop Tories from filibustering.

But it didn't work.

Because the debate was so short and the subject so important, Deputy Speaker Eleanor Laing ruled it wouldn't be right to force a vote so soon.

Furious Mr McMahon accused Tory MPs of deliberately trying to "reduce the amount of time available".

And he sarcastically claimed Sheryll Murray, a Tory who said she did no such thing, was "almost a shoe-in for the amateur dramatic society".

"But in two years' time, they will remember who blocked them from having that democratic right only two years earlier."

In a bad-tempered debate, Tories were repeatedly accused of "patronising" young people by claiming they weren't mature enough.

In return, Tory Philip Davies accused Labour of wanting to give votes to 10-year-olds

Tory backbencher James Cleverly called Mr McMahon's speech "the most egregious, partisan tirade I've ever heard".

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Cat Smith, for Labour, hit back that MPs had a "historic opportunity" to extend the franchise.

Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse added: "I feel myself strangely transposed in a costume drama of about 100 years ago.

"Those people who resisted the women's vote [came] out with exactly these arguments of immaturity and disinterest and that women wouldn't know what they were talking about."

Tories are complete hypocrites. 

But this isn't the only problem about Free Speech as tories are censoring the internet trying to kill of alternative media. 

Time to get these fascists out.
