Brit tweeps: Petition: Create a Freedom of Speech Act and Bring an End to "Hate Speech" lawshttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/203615 …

We already have it. Article 10. This is a stunt.
-
So, we've had no arrests for burning poppies, saying British soldiers should die and go to hell, saying transitioning children is wrong and teaching a dog a Nazi salute? The police are not explicitly saying they will arrest people for tweets? This is what we are countering.
-
How would you phrase bringing in a new act which allows people to express these ideas?
-
So you want people to be able to say whatever they like in whatever way they like and to whomever they like? Irrespective of the damage it may cause to people or a person?
-
No, not to whomever they like. There is no right to harass people or make them listen to you. People have been arrested for general tweets, facebook posts and youtube videos.
-
This petition is not asking for a law to allow general tweets etc. It is asking for people to be able to express their views with NO restrictions. NO government intervention. You really want that?
-
No, it is not. Show me where it says this. It does not ask for the right to force others to listen to you.
-
Please show me where I said anything about forcing others to listen?! Please address my tweet, not something else.
