FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Freedom of speech and expression is one of most valuable rights – and a right that over-mighty government seems keenest to erode, constrain, weaken and replace with propaganda or silence.
Here we look at the people and institutions that threaten freedom of expression by direct interference or by subtler subversion, and the people who protect this, perhaps our finest national treasure.

Does political Islam pose some kind of cultural and security threat to our country? Read the Anti-Islamist Coalition.
