Brexit, do you not remember that? The country already has a conservative count that can lead to decisions just as bad, if not more so, than electing Trump. And Europe has tougher Hate Speech Laws because, unlike America, Free Speech isn't allowed to run wild. There is an argument to the problems of arresting people for, say, denying the Holocaust or Hieling Hitler, but here's a counter argument: Free Speech in America runs wild enough it is borderline cancerous at times. |
The UK needs more.
Neither the UK or Europe have free speech. They have a token version. Normal speech doesn't need protection because it's accepted speech by people in general or by the authorities. Offensive or dissenting opinion needs protection from the majority or people in charge. The people in charge change therefore what's offensive or dissenting changes.
