Phony UK conservatives reject petition for free speech act
Theresa May's "conservative" government has rejected a petition requesting a free speech law be drafted:
The British government has rejected a petition calling for a Free Speech Act and an end to laws against so-called ‘hate speech’.See, this is just how disastrous and embarrassing the UK political scene handles everything, and shows what the politicians think of their constituents. So long as they continue to shut out reason, the UK will never obtain the legal stipulations it needs to protect itself against the disasters that were brought into the country. Above all, it proves May's just as bad as Angel Merkel over in Germany.
“For several years now the government has been infringing people’s most basic rights to speak freely on matters, by deeming their speech ‘offensive’ or ‘hateful. and declaring that such speech, even online, warrants being fined or jailed,” the petition suggests.
“We demand the legal right to Free Speech, in an Act which will bring an end to the ludicrous notion that ‘hate speech’ and ‘offensive speech’ deserves people be imprisoned or charged … Ideas must be fought with other ideas, not with force.”
The petition system in the United Kingdom allows citizens to have petitions published on a parliament.uk website, subject to certain conditions. The Government is supposed to respond to petitions which pass 10,000 signatures, and the Backbench Business Committee is supposed to “consider” petitions which pass 100,000 signatures for a parliamentary debate.
The Home Office, led by Amber Rudd MP, responded on behalf of Prime Minister Theresa May’s administration as the Free Speech petition reached around 16,000 signatures — rejecting it out of hand.
