NOW I never agree with HG Smith and his views on most things, but I wholeheartedly agree with him on his letter “Let In Mr Trump” (SA 3rd Feb),
as someone who has said in previous letters to the S.A I campaign on human rights issues and one particular favourite of mine is freedom of speech.
Yes we should let Mr Trump in despite the fact that I, like many more people, find his views despicable. We have people in this country whose views I also despise, but after campaigning for freedom of speech the last thing this country needs is for this or any government of the day to stop people from airing their views, no matter what they are as long as they don’t advocate acts of violence and other vile acts against fellow human beings.
