Nigel Farage is the worst of us, but he has a right to speak

Under orders from a local mayor, police in Brussels closed the National Conservatism Conference event down

This, of course, is not the lesson they have taken from events. Some are simply incapable of honest intellectual introspection. Others are too cynical to ever dare experiment with it. So instead they have largely ignored the legal judgment and used the initial ban to spread their standard narrative: they are a threat to the establishment, which has tried to silence them.

But that is their failure, not ours. The core principle of liberalism is that freedoms must be shared universally, regardless of who we are or what we think. It demands a level of consistency which its opponents are incapable of: freedom for everyone, not just for us. Liberty for all, not just our race, or our nation, or our political tribe.We are in the battle of our lives.
