Fantastic news about the defunding of Stonewall but oh my goodness, the threats to free speech across Europe and here are becoming terrifying. What would happen to comedy if insults were made illegal as in Germany? But we seem to be on that road because detectives have warned a pensioner not to call for the resignation of a councillor who wished that pensioners would die.
Thanks Dusty, am just listening to the really interesting Heretics with Malcolm Clark, had missed that one.
People bemoan the fact that we here in the UK do not have the First Amendment but we do have Article 10 of the Human Rights Act which protects freedom of speech and also, importantly, freedom to receive information ( plus the common law had already established a right to freedom of speech and expression). I think we may need some challenges here ( hope the FSU are working on it!) because the curtailment of free speech here and in the EU is well under way as you say. The case of the pensioner is a perfect example! The police both here and in Ireland need a rein putting on them!
Great interview with Malcolm Clark which I had also missed.

Doing a happy dance at the moment hearing that UASAID is defunding Stonewall :-) So hope this happens to other TQ organisations, too.
Hi Katrina
And I hope Stonewall's remaining funders may be having second thoughts.
But anyway, losing half your staff will really knock them about! Will they recover?
