The hypocracy of Britains freedom of speech!
Freedom of speech.....An important part of traditional British culture.
Seems now though that freedom of speech is limited by political correctness!! Minorities are allowed freedom of speech, but ordinary British folk are condemned every time they open their mouths!!
Time for a revolution I think!!

Re: The hypocracy of Britains freedom of speech!
Which part of traditional British culture do you think this myth of free speech comes from?
Freedom of speech has never existed in the UK. Never has and never will.
The reason for this is because, historically, the UK has never had a citizen's Bill of Rights. Our law comes from Common Law which means that it was an amalgamation of all the different laws from each of the different regions before the country was unified.
In UK we have no written consitution and so our laws are therefore prohibitive in nature. We have no rights as such other than those contained in the european Humans Rights Act. Our UK laws tell a citizen what they are not allowed to do rather than what they are.

But our Ex PM has disappeared off into the ether with apparent Mental issues, and I can call him a **** without fear of imprisonment...........So I guess there is a little free speech left!!
