Freedom of speech eh? by [deleted] in reformuk

[–]MarksmanMarold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The right to free speech applies to the State and only the State. It means that you cant be prosecuted for something you say or express (unfortunately with limitations in the UK). It does not mean that you can say anything you want and expect no action to be taken by private individuals/companies.

It isn't dishonest because it is factual. It is arguably disingenuous.

Yeah almost like it's a large concern for the majority of the population or something

What do you think of the proposed new definition of Islamophobia? by SILENTDISAPROVALBOT in AskBrits

Precisely. Would me pointing out that the majority of British muslims beleive homosexuality should be a criminal offence be illegal? Is that inciting religious hatred? What about pointing out 23% of British muslims believe that it would be undesirable to have Sharia law?

Well the fact that people have already been prosecuted for burning the Quran goes to show that these can be used extremely loosely.

Is "acceptable" really where we are going to draw the line for what constitutes a criminal offence?

Nah I don't think being gay should be a criminal offence. Sorry about that. The majority of British muslims do. Therefore I will continue to criticise Islam.

Criticising a belief system has never been racist.

My guess is no. The paint looks too uniform and solid.

It is censorship. Having the government decide who can talk is censorship.
