For hundreds of years, British people have taken
freedom of speech for granted. We always felt that we
didn't need a First Amendment, because speaking your
mind without fear or favour was ingrained in our
institutional genes. But no longer. More people are
being jailed or arrested in Britain today for what they
think, believe and say than at any time since the
eighteenth century. They didn't set out to be martyrs to
free speech, but they didn't understand the rules
governing what can and can't be said. Some are poorly
educated; some are deeply religious; some used social
networking media to make remarks whilst under the
influence of alcohol. They fell foul of Section 5 of the
Public Order Act or the laws against 'hate speech' or of
the somewhat cavalier use of communications legislation
ill suited to the digital age. Cases include the
Christian housing worker who had his salary cut by 40%
for saying that marriage is between a man and a woman;
the woman fined GBP110 for calling her neighbour a
'stupid, fat, Australian bitch' when she came from New
Zealand; the guest house owners who lost their business
when a woman claimed they had insulted her religion; the
Oxford student who spent a night in the cells after
asking a police officer if his horse was gay; and the
teenager who was convicted of causing alarm and distress
to two Labradors when he barked at them ('The dogs
weren't really upset by it at all' according to their
owner). Philip Johnston puts the current debate about
the limits of free speech into a historical context to
show that free speech is not an optional extra for a
free society: it is and always has been the defining
condition of a free person.
