Britain Needs a First Amendment Before Free Speech Disappears | Lord Toby Young

Liz Truss is joined by Lord Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union, to discuss Britain’s growing free speech crisis, cancel culture, political policing, online speech arrests, and why the UK may need its own version of America’s First Amendment.Toby reflects on his own cancellation in 2018, how it led to the creation of the Free Speech Union, and what his organisation has learned from thousands of cases involving people disciplined, investigated or arrested for lawful speech.They discuss the rise of cancel culture, the role of the police in investigating social media posts, the impact of the Online Safety Act, free speech concerns around CPAC GB, and whether US pressure through trade deals could help protect civil liberties in Britain.This is a wide-ranging conversation about liberty, censorship, political intimidation, cancel culture, policing, and the future of free expression in the UK and across the English-speaking world.Liz Truss, Toby Young, Free Speech Union, free speech UK, Britain free speech crisis, cancel culture, police arrests tweets, online speech arrests UK, First Amendment UK, free speech law Britain, Online Safety Act, Ofcom censorship, CPAC GB, Lucy Connolly, Graham Linehan, Allison Pearson, Nigel Farage, Lee Anderson, Labour free speech, Keir Starmer, political policing, two tier policing, woke censorship, hate speech laws, social media censorship, UK politics, civil liberties, freedom of expression, Article 10, European Convention on Human Rights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
