Bryn Harris, Chief Legal Officer for the Free Speech Union, said: “The state does not hold a monopoly on truth and the ability to discuss and debate ideas, including religious ideas, is the lifeblood of any genuinely free society.. Yet, repeatedly, we see this principle violated by unaccountable police officers and local councils who aggressively pursue their own ideological causes rather than using scarce public resources to tackle real crime.”

The Free Speech Union, which campaigns for freedom of speech and helps people to defend their rights in court, believes the case is not an isolated one and has set up an online tool to make it easy for people to submit subject access requests.
Toby Young, the general secretary of the Free Speech Union, said: “This is the most egregious example of corporate interference with free speech I’ve ever come across. In effect, the social media accounts of football fans are being monitored by the ‘Stadium Stasi’. It’s like something out of 1984.”

I recap on all this because the Free Speech Union held a ‘summit’ in Belfast last night that I was able to attend only briefly, because I was trying to get this newspaper to print. Owen Polley will write a report on it in Monday’s paper.

The Free Speech Union has recently launched an FOI investigation into the transgender policies of various public sector bodies.

On January 18th, the European Parliament (EP) will vote on a resolution that proposes extending the list of EU-wide crimes to include all forms of ‘hate crime’ and ‘hate speech’.
If, as looks likely, the resolution is passed, the only thing standing in the way of these dubious categories of speech being added to the EU’s list of particularly serious crimes that “have impact beyond national borders” will be a vote in the Council of the European Union.

Mr Borg-Neal continued: “I first got the proper legal help from the Free Speech Union when I joined it in February 2023. A legal team came on board in March or April. So from July 2021 through to March 2023, I was fighting the battle myself with the help of my brother and another friend.”
