📢 A new Free Speech Bill has been proposed.
Barrister Jon Holbrook, a member of the Free Speech Union's Legal Advisory Council, has published an important report for the Prosperity Institute charting the decline of free speech in Britain and setting out a five-point Free Speech Bill to reverse it.
Jon argues that the expansion of vaguely defined speech offences — using terms such as "grossly offensive", "abusive", "insulting" and "stirring up" — has handed governments sweeping powers to decide what people can and cannot say.
His proposed Bill would repeal Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, abolish laws based on the concept of non-violent "hate speech", and restore the principle that free speech protects not only popular opinions, but also those that are contentious, provocative and unwelcome.
As Lord Frost writes in the foreword: "The chilling effect falls on all of us."
This is a welcome intervention as we fight to defend our right to freedom of speech in the UK.
