Enshrine freedom of speech, including ‘hate’ but must not incite physical harm.

Repeal hate speech laws and all other controls on free expression; with the caveat that no speech must incite or encourage physical harm to a living entity. This allows freedom of expression but gives legal power to quash attempts to cause physical harm to life.

The ‘woke’ culture is stifling free expression on the grounds that people’s feelings are hurt. This is a childish sentiment. Adults should be encouraged to speak even ugly views in order that their arguments can be ridiculed in the public arena.

Freedom of thought and expression is a fundamental human right and it is a slippery slope to tyranny when it is stymied.

If people’s feelings are hurt they should build a creative counter-argument and show the other party why they are in the wrong.
