But, this is what the UK thinks of Free Speech:

But, the question isn't IF free speech in the U.K. should be regulated, but HOW?   :'(

Politicians have been scrambling for a sensitive way to regulate the country's media after tabloid journalists were revealed to have intercepted celebrity voicemails, bribed police officers, trampled over people's privacy, and even hacked into computers in their hunt for scoops.

They forgot to mention photo-shopping pictures to  make the appear to depict what never really happened, which is why Piers Morgan fled the U.K.

But, with ethical standards that weak, or non-existent, one has to ask why CNN was so quick to hire him, unless they were fine with him targeting anyone who was not on the Left?   To me, the answer is as obvious as a "tickle up my leg".

In a way, here in the US, we already are regulating free speech...  it's called "Politically Correct", and it is built on trying to convince the Whites to hate themselves.

Programs like that are very effective, especially if the students are not taught  Civics or American history, but flooded with Leftist propaganda.

Some on this forum think we are just fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights.  Those are not the only rights we support.  The ENTIRE Constitution is in danger, and so is our Republic and the Rule of Law.
