TSOT125: UK Non-Free Speech. A Case Study.

from The Scales of Truth · host The Scales of Truth

A sign that supports the victims is apparently par for an argument of "breaching the peace" in the UK these days. I've told you, over and over, that alleged intentions for people to be nicer to each other by keeping their thoughts to themselves will only result in bullies of all kinds using those laws to ensure opinions they don't like don't challenge their opinions. And guess what, using the power of these ambiguous laws to sic law enforcement on your idea rivals literally is the opposite of getting people to be nicer to each other. It's instead just another version of lawfare. The proper reaction for an adult in a free society who doesn't like a sign is to look away. They need not worry their pretty little head with the troublesome idea any longer, if they so choose. For the situation to instead allow them to use the force of law to harass someone is the recipe to encourage despots.
