Free speech must not be allowed to die with Charlie Kirk, activists warned last night as his British campaign group said its members had received death threats online.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said Left-wingers had also called for him to be shot in the wake of Mr Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
The social media site Bluesky, which is popular with liberals, was so swamped by users celebrating the murder that its chief executive was forced to issue a rebuke.
Some even named individuals they wanted to ‘do next’, including Donald Trump and JK Rowling.
Last night, free speech campaigner Toby Young said: ‘The attitude of some activists towards the assassination of Charlie Kirk has revealed how little regard there is for free speech in some dark corners of our political universe. But we cannot let free speech die with Charlie Kirk.
