And when you did such reading, where did you end up?

Oh no. Say it ain’t so! 😞

It’s brilliant isn’t? 😂😂😂

Hi duncan. Genuinely glad to see you here.

Here we go guys. Europe is screwed in terms of free speech because *someone read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo* and thought it was a treatise as to the *Law of Europe*. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Stop getting your knowledge of our legal system from Hollywood (and indeed from movies based on Swedish novels FFS). Read some actual law. I’ll send you a case or two.

Nobody goes to jail for defamation in the UK. Jeez. Libel hasn’t been a crime in E&W for decades and - check this, oh freedom of speech champion - it has *never* been a crime in Scotland.

Agreed. Unless things improve, this place will be the social media equivalent of a post-apocalyptic zombie movie in which all the actors are B-listers in a permanent state of fear of being devoured by extras.

It’s only hate speech when it causes harm Or violence. Not disagreement. Hence I can complain about - but not weaponise - the crap I’ve had on here today.

Ultimately, this place will be one of two things. A refuge from the insanity of X. Or a hate-filled cult in which freedom of speech and belief is a barely-remembered vestige, where any deviation from the pre-ordained gender agenda is met with public stoning. So: where we going, people?
