If you don’t have free speech throughout your own country, do you have free speech?

Posted in thoughtTagged , , ,

The Metropolitan Police has so far not commented on the viral video of a female police officer defending freedom of speech surrounded by a crowd of angry Muslim men in Whitechapel but it has questions to answer.

This is the moment a police officer defends a Christian preacher in Whitechapel and is told: “This is a Muslim area.”

excerpt

The confrontation sees a female Met Police officer being surrounded by males and telling them: “In this country, we have freedom of speech.”

She continued: “I understand that you guys don’t want to hear it, so I would just recommend that you walk away and don’t listen to him. He’s not in your home.”

Questions for the Met include: why is it that this police officer understands English law in a way that the three Met police officers who arrested Christian street preacher, John Sherwood, in Uxbridge in 2021 apparently did not?

So – If you don’t have free speech throughout your own country, do you have free speech?

NOPE

All,
I hope you are well!
I hate to go on about this but considering the state of free speech in the world today, I feel I must. Please ignore if it’s not your cup of tea. ;-) lb

Our Creator – not any government, any political leader or any petty bureaucrat, grants us our rights.

The US Bill of Rights which includes our 1st Amendment are restrictions on the US government, not granted rights from. As far as I’m concerned, they are restrictions on all governments. No other “rules” override our rights.

Abridged speech is not free speech. If you don’t support speech you disagree with, you don’t support free speech. Some speech is not more equal than others.
