Lawyer warns over freedom of speech

A leading lawyer has warned of the threat from ‘woke warriors’, corporations and the government to freedom of speech in the UK

In an article on freedom of speech and constraints, published by the Jubilee Centre, Paul Diamond said: ‘Freedom of speech is one of the most important rights or attributes of our common humanity: but clearly there must be limitations on what can be said: the great debate is where boundaries are on these constraints.’

Diamond, a barrister specialising in religious liberty, said: ‘Everybody knows that free speech is not widely respected today’ – but warned that ‘without free speech, there is no free society, there is poor intellectual development, often poor economic performance, and an assault on our humanity’.
