Threats to freedom of speech in the UK

mardi 22 septembre 2015 à 02:00

Freedom of speech is threatened in the UK by the state and by private intimidation.

Sometimes private intimidation takes advantage of state laws that impose censorship. The UK libel reform campaign (successful except in Northern Ireland) was needed because UK libel law lent itself to censorship.

Laws against "hate speech" are also wrong in themselves, because they punish expression of some opinions. They must be repealed.

The UK has many other unjust censorship laws, such as the one against "extreme pornography" for which no justification other than prudery has been offered, and the one against possessing documents considered suspicious. They must all go.
