FSC Podcast: NZ & the UK, Censorship Culture & Political Correctness.

Free Speech Coalition’s Dr David Cumin interviews British journalist and editor of Spiked! Online, Brendan O’Neill. David and Brendan discuss the similarities between New Zealand and Britain regarding free speech, censorship culture and the current climate surrounding political correctness.

Brendan gives his views on the scope of free speech and how current pushes for hate speech laws does more harm than good to those that the laws purport to protect.

You can read Brendan’s recommended reading by Fredrick Douglas, “A Plea for Freedom of Speech in Boston” here.
