Scotland is known across the world as one of the bastions of the Enlightenment, boasting such intellectual giants as Adam Smith and David Hume. If we want to preserve that legacy, we need to make sure free speech is robustly protected. The opening of our Scottish office is a positive move and based on feedback from our members. I'm excited to be involved at the start of this process. As Director of Case Management at the Free Speech Union I see every day the unfairness that people are subject to across the UK at the hands of outrage mobs, often hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. There are specific challenges in Scotland with devolved legislation and it's vitally important Scots know that we are there to provide help when they need it the most.
