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.

You said 'to anyone you want' and I said 'no'. That is the restriction.

A law can’t just be designed for the good people who have honourable motives in their freedom of expression. It has to cater for the bullies and racists and homophobes who would misuse it.

They can't force anyone to listen. They can be as nasty and racist and homophobic as they want providing no-one has to hear them. Those of us who want to know what is being thought and said can hear them, report about it, counter it etc.
