Is free speech under threat? More specifically, is free speech under threat in the UK? The story at the epicentre of today's video may shock you, but that depends on your principles. It all comes down to the hate speech is free speech debate. Can we say hateful things and is there a line beyond which we daren't travel? Or are we looking at this the wrong way around? Some would argue that while there may be a line, the problem is that society has drawn said line far too conservatively. If this is the case, one must consider; is free speech dead in the UK and around the world? If so, is it wise to simply erase the line or is freedom of speech dangerous? Are words violence? If these questions intrigue you, today's discussion about religious censorship and conservative discrimination is sure to get you thinking. We live in a world where news headlines allege things like "religious liberty under attack" and "religious liberty in crisis". Many simply dismiss such claims as unfounded and unnecessarily alarmist. Yet, religious freedom in the UK faces certain challenges. The question is; is freedom of speech freedom to offend? And while some would fundamentally disagree with having the right to offend, ironically, the only way we can reach such a conclusion is by reasoning. That's why speech and debate is important.
