There is a real risk that the matter of freedom of speech becomes yet another points scoring exercise between those identifying as conservative, or progressive, or my democratic values are superior to yours.
Freedom of speech has its restraints through libel, slander and calumny laws legislated to ensure that people think twice before opening their mouths, or putting pen to paper.
Here lies the dilemma for each of us:
“Thank goodness I am not like those people!”
In this respect we all stand...guilty.
