Richard I agree with you, free speech means just that - even if you don't like what someone else is saying - as on this forum frequently! Remember all the fuss over the odious Nick Griffin being on Question Time? Best thing that could have happened, what a prat he turned out to be - and not a bogeyman at all. So what do we have to fear from bigots, loonies and all the rest? Ridicule, satire and humour are the best weapons. We either stand up and be counted now - or gradually our freedoms will be whittled away because we are self censoring for fear of offending someone. |
