Spot on. I consider Free Speech to be the most important issue of the day. For if we cannot debate or are afraid of debating contentious issues then the Zealots will proceed without any resistance or any sanity check.
The quality of governmental decision making will drop without Free Speech, and we the dumb gammons, the deplorables, the rude mechanicals will suffer in silence - until we cannot take it any more.
Yes, wonderful stuff. Using their own weapons against them - accusations of hate speech, racism, sexism, fiscal ineptitude, and general bigotry - is powerful. It won't stop them doing what they want, but it will show others that the elite are talking nonsense and are not to be taken seriously.
DJ - yes, those who would suppress free speech grossly underestimate its importance. As you say, the quality of governmental decision making will drop.
Sam - and once people realise that the elites are even more bigoted than the general population, then things may change. There are signs of it now.
