Freely Speaking
The right to offend, and the corresponding right of
audiences to bellyache about it, is an ongoing topic in the comedy world and elsewhere. Spiked, the online
home of contrarian libertarianism, hosted a debate on the subject at the Stand
in Edinburgh earlier today, and assistant editor Tom Slater has published
articles here and here. My response, which tries to tease out the
differences between the rights of the interested parties and broader threats to
freedom of speech, is here.
