There is no such thing as 'free speech' so shut up and dance with me.
Not entirely true. If you go to places like Speaker's Corner there are people giving you the benefit of their wisdom for no charge. I think that's a free speech is it not?
If if some pissed up looney bowls down the middle of the street yelling abuse and offering to take on all comers, he's going to get arrested, in any country in the world. This has **** all to do with free speech, civil liberties, or any other supposed human rights; it's just common sense. Make a monumental **** of yourself in public, expect to get your collar felt. Even in scandanavia.

Its not "Free Speech" though is it, which is the point I was making.
So is it Free Shouting, without background music?

It's hate speech but they should be free to use it"**** the Pope", "All Darkies should hang", "God Hates Gays". Free Speech or Hate Speech?

Mibby the hanging one would be conspiracy to murder though
Please tell me you're not serious. There's a demo in Golders Green on Saturday by a far right group to protest about the presence of Jews in the area. Do you honestly believe that should be allowed to take place? Just to be clear, I don't think that if you say yes it automatically means you're in support of the cause.

If hate speech is allowed then so should kicking **** out of the purveyor of such speech. and those who stick up for the right to vomit bile at folk.
That means you Mindy.
Somebody should show the SNP thatFree speech is the right to say whatever you like about whatever you like, whenever you like, right?
Wrong.
'Free speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.'
You might not expect us to say this, but in certain circumstances free speech and freedom of expression can be restricted.
Free speech and the right to freedom of expression applies to ideas of all kinds including those that may be deeply offensive. But it comes with responsibilities and we believe it can be legitimately restricted. Governments have an obligation to prohibit hate speech and incitement. And restrictions can also be justified if they protect specific public interest or the rights and reputations of others.
