When it comes to freedom of speech, the UK is a toothless joke at this point in Western Europe. And people are laughing!
I know I shouldn't be laughing (in fact i'm angry at the same time) but I also am! Restriction on speech in this country has gone too far! The UK authorities now penalize people for saying something 'offensive', which now means UK citizens regardless of political allegiances have to be very careful of what they say in public. This is definitely not the United Kingdom I would want to live in.
Now we can't outright take away the right to explore new ideas, but to instantly demonize them is outright bizarre.
In modern Britain, it's hard to believe that we're responsible for giving the world the likes of John Milton, Thomas Paine and John Stuart Mill. We have definitely strayed away from the liberal and free country that we once were. And as hard and tough as it might be now, this new form of censorship has to be challenged!
