Episode 25: Free F*cking Speech (lots of swearing)

Free speech at its core in the UK is the ability to critique the UK government without fear of reprisals provided you don't incite violence. It's a simple concept and a key one which is now at threat under polonium penis Dominic Raab and his diet human rights act. But so many red faced numpties across the UK think free speech is their ability to say bigoted or ignorant things without having the nearest furniture item lobbed at them. It isn't. Unfortunately for you we live in a world where we can, and should, be able to ensure people are able to live their lives peaceably. Your peaceful life doesn't revolve around your ability to say slurs, ours revolves around not being able to hear them.

It's indicative of the childishness of people that can't be told that their behaviour must be accounted for and it's time we stop pandering to people who think their ability to say stupid things shouldn't be curtailed if those things can risk harm- researching any of the mass shooters in the US over the last 15 years, almost all of them were radicalised into their actions via, amongst other things, extremist rhetoric bolstered by online discourse.

Say whatever you want- but don't be surprised if you get your ass handed to you if you do- saying what you want comes with a handy side helping of karma.
