The Fight for Free Speech

The right to speak one’s piece is under attack both at home and abroad. The press, who should have the biggest dog in this fight, has somehow become cheerleaders for the censors. Elon Musk and his X social media platform have become a favorite target.

We look at that and take the international view with the founder and General Secretary of the UK’s Free Speech Union, Toby Young, whose worst fears about the new Labour government are all coming true.

All that and the Parting Shot… a shot for Monkey Pox?

    Always glad to hear Toby Young. Great analysis of the free speech problem when you don’t have a first amendment.
