LABOUR HAVE DONE SOME SHOCKING THINGS TO ATTACK FREE SPEECH, BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST!"

Описание: Free Speech Union (FSU) General Secretary Toby Young joined Mike Graham on Talk TV to discuss the Labour government's recently published Employment Rights Bill, which will have disastrous consequences for freedom of speech, impose huge compliance costs on Britain’s one-and-a-half million businesses, further the encroachment into our lives of a philosophy of mindless compliance, and bring a Starmer-esque joylessness to areas where we were once able to enjoy life.

The problems arise from clause 16 of Angela Rayner's legislative brainchild, which makes employers liable for staff being offended by third parties, such as customers or members of the public.

If passed in its current form, this part of the bill will grant businesses across the retail, hospitality, entertainment and academic sectors a legitimate legal interest in policing what members of the public say — what we now think of as every day, casual and fundamentally private speech will be governed by formal codes of conduct and scrutinised for its potential legal consequences.

This is an unacceptable bid to legalise the interactions of day-to-day life.

Needless to say, the FSU will be campaigning against clause 16, and briefing supporters across both Houses of Parliament about the threat it poses to free speech and freedom of expression.
