Criminalizing “Offensive” Speech

George Igler is the Managing Director of the British think-tank “Discourse: Institute for Free Speech”. He spoke at the Brussels Conference and later appeared at the Stop Islamization of Nations event in New York.

Tonight Mr. Igler talked to Jerry Agar on SUN TV about the rapid deterioration of civil liberties in the UK, as exemplified by the legal crackdown on any form of communication, public or private, that might be considered insulting or offensive by someone.

Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:

Update: Thanks to Steen for sending the link to a YouTube video featuring Rowan Atkinson speaking out on behalf of the “Reform Section 5” movement.
