**Title edited by MNHHQ** Freedom of speech discussed in Any Questions, Radio 4

[Hearwegoagain]

On now. Specifically referencing the transgender debate.

that's what I thought too

Having listened again Burgon he gives me the impression of someone saying "freedom of speech is find so long as the views are ones we approve of, otherwise suppression and making illegal is perfectly reasonable". The idea of us getting a government having that kind of thinking appalls me.

Reality denying and thought-policing, that's a hell of a combination.

It's all the rage these days. If we say something is reality, then it becomes real. If you refer to actual reality, we can call it "-phobic" and silence you. If you persist we can punish you.
