The Free Speech Union is bringing a legal challenge against Bridget Phillipson, whom it believes acted unlawfully when she ‘paused’ the Act. You can help pay the FSU’s legal costs by donating to this CrowdJustice fundraiser here.
In July this year, oonly days after the far left Labour Party's election victory returned them to government after a gap of fourteen years, the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, issued a statement to the House of Commons saying she intended to halt the progress of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act, “in order to consider options, including its repeal”.
It was fitting that
the Labour Government would declare war on free speech in a written
statement, posted quietly to the House of Commons website on a Friday – a
good day for bad news, as any journalist will tell you – and
unaccompanied by any opportunity for parliamentary debate or scrutiny. Socialists have always feared and loathed free speech as it allows people to tell the truth abour what a nasty, elitist political philosophy socialism really is underneath that veneer of hypocriticl virtue signalling.
The Freedom of Speech Act was a carefully crafted piece of legislation, properly debated in both House of Parliament, designed to address the free speech crisis in our universities and put a stop to persecution of students and staff members whose opinions do not align with those of certain influential cliques. It would have strengthened the legal duty on English universities to uphold and promote freedom of speech, and it created enforcement mechanisms to make sure universities didn’t ignore that duty.
The campign against free speech is not a policy excluive to this Labour government Labour however, has been under way since the first Blair Government in May 2007 while similar ideologies were being pursued in the USA and Canada, Australia and among EU member states.
Significantly, within months of assuming power the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act abolished capital punishment for the crime of Treason by making the maximum punishment life imprisonment. With hindsight, Blair declared his intentions. Since then successive Conservative and Labour Governments have only added further measures that whittle away ‘Centuries of Freedoms’, often in response to issues that government policies themselves have created, such as terrorism.
It is no coincidence that in the same period,
Governments have kowtowed to the ‘big is beautiful’ mantra for business
and allowed vastly wealthy individuals to influence decision making.
This has been aided and abetted by anything but impartial civil servants
and senior police officers.
All these people have been working
with the basic assumption that they are fireproof against life ending
consequences. However, that which has been removed can be restored. They
have closed their minds to the reality of gravity: pendulums do
eventually return in direction and hanging takes advantage of this
force.
This blog's contributors are libertarians and free speech absolutists, we either have free speech or we don’t. There are no in - betweens, and if we don't have free speech, i.e. the right to discuss ideas and express opinions no matter how unpopular they may be in government circkes, we are no longer free citizens
Nobody should be exempt from criticism or scrutiny, no matter what their political leanings, religious persuasion, sexual preference, but this is
evidently not the case in the Clown World inhabited by political leadrersd and opiion shapers. On the contrary, there are now
more and more things we aren’t allowed to say, either in person or
online, and it stinks.
”In a free society, not a single belief, opinion, ideology,
religion, or attitude is above scrutiny. Your beliefs do not get a pass
from the judgment of others because they are cloaked in the magical
robe of religion. The West is under the suicidal presumption that there
is ONE religion that can never be criticized, judged, mocked, and
scrutinized. And it is not Christianity.
Likewise there are sexual orientations and identities which may not be questioned or critiised.
The quicker that this reflex is lost the safer your children and grandchildren will be. Do not pray at the altar of Suicidal Empathy. Freedom of speech is a deontological principle. Wake up everyboody.”
