RIP Free Speech

[krummholz]

Fun fact of the day - There is no general right to the freedom of speech in the UK. Since 1998, limited freedom of expression is guaranteed according to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, as applied in British law through the Human Rights Act 1998.

 

It never existed, so what are you complaining about?

People need to stop confusing freedom of speech with acting like a complete dick

People seem to confuse the US first amendment with our own laws because they are so closely aligned.

Yet, here you are, posting your thoughts openly, and nobody has come along to stifle them, or arrest you. Is free speech really dead? Or is it a narrative to stir up trouble? Not by you personally, just in general.

By the way, I agree that anyone with balls, behaving in a bad way around women, should be punched in the balls - at the very least.  

Cat got your tongue, boy? You're suddenly quite shy?

Free speech for me but not for thee. If you're a rational human being you no longer fit in. You deserve to be canceled for your common sense approach to life. 

 

Get with the times!

 

 

Common sense is extremely rare these days as I'm sure you're very aware of, to me it's very troubling just how stupid most folk are becoming, too stupid to even discuss current affairs with any intellect...

 

Happily ' to some extent ' it would appear that many of the cancelled world's most eminent scientists seem to be being allowed to once again voice their opinion, although it would appear that the the damage is already done, and the latest generation have zero interest in logic, truth or feck all else of any value.

Is it ok to promote violence against someone being in the right place? Instructions unclear.   

Diverting, you know what I mean.

Yeah personally I could do without the right to life, freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, freedom from slavery and forced labour, the right to liberty and security, the right to a fair trial, respect for private and family life, home, and correspondence, freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association and, worst of all, protection from discrimination.

that part could prove quite popular.
