@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee I pointed out that you HAD given a platform. Of course I implied a critique. But of your judgement nor your “right". In any case, this is not a matter of rights one way or another. Editing FT is not a right, it's a job. I regret I used the word platform. It seems to be a trigger!

@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee Dont tar me with cancel culture brush: The FT is an important platform. It is one from which a lot of us receive our daily news. Your editorial decisions will be discussed, sometimes critically and with a view to figuring out what is going on. This has been instructive.

@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee You have been very forthcoming about the worldview that informs your choice to give this guy a platform. It has been genuinely instructive. The holodomor vision will stay with me. I dont share it, but it is important to know it is out there.

@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee What I did was to point out that you had given a platform to Lambert’s view. Of course I disagree with you and am frankly puzzled. But I didn’t say you shouldn’t. I merely highlighted to wider public that you had. It reveals preferences on your part that are interesting.

@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee Its a matter of the responsible use of limited public real estate and the responsible use of historical analogies, both of those are likely to be fiercely argued over and that is what we are doing.

@izakaminska @DanielaGabor @Shahinvallee Theres a difference between 1. reporting (critically or not) on an important opinion that is out there 2. giving someone a platform & 3. endorsing an even more extreme version of the same argument (though I haven’t read his letter & dont know whether holodomor appears there).

@policytensor @izakaminska @gilliantett 😉 What I’ll actually concede is not so much Gilets Jaunes point as such, as "Gilet Jaunes/holodomor (sic) discourse” point. Im not sure elites/discourse-makers have courage of their own convictions/nerve to carry through a well-balanced transition of kind @gilliantett calls for.
