HarperCollins Publishers
Concise and Abridged Edition
In this blistering polemic, veteran journalist Mick Hume presents an uncompromising defence of freedom of expression, which he argues is threatened in the West, not by jackbooted censorship but by a creeping culture of conformism and You-Can't-Say-That.
In a fierce defence of free speech in all its forms Mick Hume's blistering polemic exposes the new threats facing us today in the historic fight for freedom of expression. Ours is an age when sensitive students must be sheltered from potentially offensive material in 'safe spaces', Twitter vigilantes police those expressing the 'wrong' opinion online, and many even insist that the massacre of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists showed the need to restrict offensive ideas and opinions.
But the fundamental freedom being attacked the right to be offensive, despite the problems it might create is vital to a free and civilised society. Without unfettered freedom of expression, other liberties will not be possible.
