Once described as the 'comedian's comedian' Stewart Lee has been performing stand up since 1988. He is known for pushing boundaries with his intelligent, self-referential and often provocative style of comedy but in his new show 'Stewart Lee vs the Man Wulf' he questions his place on the comedy circuit in an era of increasing populism rhetoric and the popularity of, in his words “$60m Netflix comedians of hate.” In this episode of Ways to Change the World with Krishnan Guru-Murthy he discusses the state of comedy today and what he thinks of the comedy style of comics like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle as well as why he wouldn't tour America right now. As The Observer, the world's oldest Sunday newspaper begins a new era under Tortoise media he also reflects on his column for the paper which he's stopped after 15 years. Produced by Holly Snelling and Sachin Croker

He was burned in effigy. Protesters were arrested. Now, Michael Knowles returns. In this explosive episode of Cross The Line, Michael Knowles heads back to the University of Pittsburgh—the same campus where he was met with violent protests, chaos, and national headlines. This time, it's personal. Following the arrest of activist Brian DiPippa, who injured a police officer during the protest, Michael revisits the campus to speak with students, confront the narrative, and expose the truth about free speech, political extremism, and the growing hostility toward conservatives on college campuses. - - - Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Protect your online privacy today by going to https://ExpressVPN.com/michaelYT and you can get an extra 4 months FREE

Adolescence: Brilliant TV or WOKE Propaganda?  In this video, Jon Gaunt debates Netflix's latest hit series, Adolescence, and asks the tough questions: Is it a true reflection of modern-day Britain, or is it a form of WOKE propaganda? Led by Stephen Graham, Adolescence portrays a grim reality for young boys today, but does it reflect the real challenges they're facing, such as the influence of figures like Andrew Tate, the rise of incels, and increasing violence in schools? Some critics argue that the film presents a false and woke depiction of the issues surrounding youth violence in Britain as the family is white. Jon also discusses the troubling portrayal of misogyny, toxic masculinity, and the fatal stabbings carried out by young men in the UK, questioning whether it accurately reflects reality. As Adolescence sparks debates over the responsibility of new media, Gaunty also tackles questions on whether more male teachers and extra-curricular activities are the solution, and if banning smartphones could be a step towards protecting kids. Should Keir Starmer fund the film's showing in schools, and is this the Cathy Come Home moment of the 21st century? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on whether Adolescence is brilliant TV or harmful fiction. Keywords and Tags: Adolescence Netflix, WOKE propaganda, Stephen Graham, UK politics, toxic masculinity, Andrew Tate, incel threat, male teachers in schools, adolescent violence, UK stabbings, media influence, Keir Starmer, free speech debate, boys and smartphones, extracurricular activities, Cathy Come Home, Netflix series review, modern Britain TV, youth culture, UK media.  

Starmer's Labour are making April Fools of us all BUT it's no joke! #Taiwo Owatemi #National Insurance #CouncilTax #costofliving In this hard-hitting video, Jon Gaunt exposes how Starmer's Labour Party is making April Fools of the UK public with their broken promises and misleading claims. Despite Rachel Reeves boasting that we will all be £500 better off soon, the reality is far worse. According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), Starmer's policies will result in devastating cost increases for households across the country. The National Insurance (NI) hike alone will wipe out at least £565 from family budgets. Additionally, Gaunty explores the reality of rising costs, from council tax increases (£90 on average) to soaring water bills (£123), and the impact of higher energy bills (£111), broadband fees (£21.99), and road tax (£5). To top it off, TV licenses are going up by a fiver, all while Starmer and his Chancellor boast about the £500 households will allegedly feel "better off." Meanwhile a SENIOR Labour MP is using taxpayers' cash to pay “pet rent” so she can live with her cockapoo dog in London. Taiwo Owatemi is helping to get £5 billion of cuts to disability benefits through parliament for Labour at the same time as a bombshell document reveals that the Coventry North West MP is charging taxpayers £900 a year extra in rent so her pet pooch Bella can live with her. She is Jon Gaunt's Local MP and Gaunty believes that she is a self-serving pig with her snout in the trough! Meanwhile, Starmer is parading around the world as if he's a global statesman while failing to address the real issues at home. This video highlights the stark contrast between the Labour leader's rhetoric and the harsh reality faced by hard-working families. From higher taxes to his obsession with banning ninja knives, Starmer's priorities are out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people. As we prepare for even more tax hikes, it's clear that Starmer and his Chancellor are only fooling themselves—and us.

Dan and Corey kick off the show with some tech issues and quickly turn to roasting Trump for turning the White House into a Tesla showroom, cracking jokes about him not knowing how to drive a car. They dive into a serious discussion about Mahmood Khalil, a Columbia grad who faces deportation for criticizing Israel, mocking the government's BS moves and lack of due process. The talk shifts to debanking, with Tim Scott's pathetic FIRM Act, which is supposed to protect free speech but really just screws over small businesses. They also highlight Thomas Massey's ongoing budget battles with Trump and mock the absurdities of the political landscape, all while keeping the humor as crude and low-brow as possible. The episode wraps up with more laughs, ridiculous impressions, and a nod to the chaos of current events.00:00 Welcome to Libservative01:02 Technical Difficulties and Trump Talk01:46 The MAGA Movement and Free Speech07:01 Rosie O'Donnell's Move to Ireland12:38 Trump's Petty Moves and BLM Plaza19:33 Protests and Outside Agitators27:59 DEI Purge and AI Mishaps38:39 Public Restroom Dilemma39:21 Jack the Ripper Identified45:00 Transgender vs. Transgenics46:47 First Amendment Violations01:06:52 Debanking and Financial Regulations01:24:41 Libertarian and Leftist Ideologies01:26:21 Critique of Neoliberalism01:29:08 The FIRM Act and Its Implications01:34:22 Overregulation and Its Consequences01:37:46 Thomas Massey vs. Donald Trump01:42:50 Trump's Economic Policies01:52:40 Trump and Tesla: A Bizarre Encounter02:03:55 Closing Remarks and Filibustering

Trump #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #Trump2024 From Politician to King: The Rise of Trump and the Fall of Starmer.  Is Keir Starmer's leadership on the brink of collapse? Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to dominate the global stage! In just four weeks, Trump has made major diplomatic moves, nearly brokering a peace deal in Ukraine, presenting a solution for Gaza, and forcing Europe to pay for its own defence.  His America First policies have strengthened U.S. borders and solidified his unmatched leadership. After the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Keir Starmer in Washington, D.C., it was evident who the real leader was. Trump delivered a masterclass in diplomacy, leaving Starmer looking weak, lost, and ineffective.  As Trump's influence grows, Starmer struggles to keep control of his party and the UK's future.

In a crazy and failing attempt to divert attention away from his own guilt, Keir Starmer wants to blame Amazon for selling knives for the slaughter of the innocents in Southport! It's disgusting to spin the story like this but the Mainstream media are complicit in this foul act as they make it the talking point of the day! The establishment often proposes superficial solutions like banning knife sales, but is this truly the answer? I explore the recent tragic events in Southport and why these measures fail to address the underlying issues. Is this just another diversion tactic to avoid holding key institutions accountable? I scrutinize Keir Starmer's role, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), and whether the public is being told the full story. Why aren't we addressing systemic problems, social failures, immigration and gaps in law enforcement? This debate raises questions about personal responsibility, societal influences, and the erosion of trust in our leaders and justice system.

Britain is a Paedo Paradise! Or so it seems with all the child sex scandals of the past few years. Keir Starmer needs to get off his sun lounger and address the Nation and order an independent investigation into who knew what and when about the child rapes in our Northern Towns. Top Cop Maggie Oliver who investigated previous child sex rape cases says that "Starmer is as guilty as anyone" for ignoring the abuse. Did top officials, clergy, and institutions turn a blind eye to protect their reputations? The truth is of course that many in power did exactly that. They ignored it for the sake of community cohesion which if true is an absolute outrage. The only way to clear the air is a full investigation and a swift one too. This is above party politics and is a stain on the whole Establishment. This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in UK politics, news, and free speech, as I confront uncomfortable truths and demand accountability. Don't miss this vital conversation about justice, transparency, and the protection of vulnerable children.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're continuing our discussion about the controversial comments from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy about importing foreign Indian cheap labor slaves to replace hardworking Americans. But this time, we're also shining a spotlight on Elon Musk's alarming behavior on X (formerly Twitter). While touting "free speech," Musk has been banning and demonetizing voices who dare to challenge him or his globalist agenda.Why are these so-called leaders abandoning America First principles? And what does it mean for the future of free speech when even self-proclaimed champions of the First Amendment silence dissent? Tune in for Part 2, where we unpack the truth behind the rhetoric and hold these powerful figures accountable.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/invest/--Order Culture: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Wellington's Victoria University's controversial free speech debate is back on, with more speakers added.   A panel discussion around the role of universities in free speech was meant to be held on Monday, but it was pushed to the end of May, after opposition from some students.  Victoria University Vice Chancellor Nic Smith told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've added more people than anticipated.  Smith said there's now two debates - “People with a viewpoint, and people who are more interested in the principles and regulations of what speech is.”  LISTEN ABOVE.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may be surprised where some professors fall on campus free speech.

Where is the line between art, and advertising? The unresolved question is testing the direct democracy of a small New England town, where a painting of pastries has led to zoning dispute, a First Amendment lawsuit and a local vote.The town zoning board got involved, deciding that the pastry painting was not so much art as advertising, and so could not remain as is because of its size. Faced with modifying or removing the mural, or possibly dealing with fines and criminal charges, the bakery owner sued, saying the town is violating his freedom of speech rights.

Bakery owner Sean Young was thrilled when high school art students covered the big blank wall over his doorway last spring with a painting of the sun shining over a mountain range made of sprinkle-covered chocolate and strawberry donuts, a blueberry muffin, a cinnamon roll and other pastries. The display got rave reviews, and Young looked forward to collaborating with the school on more mural projects at his roadside bakery in Conway, New Hampshire. Then the town zoning board got involved, deciding that the pastry painting was not so much art as advertising, and so could not remain as is because of its size. Faced with modifying or removing the mural, or possibly dealing with fines and criminal charges, Young sued, saying the town is violating his freedom of speech rights. “They said it would be art elsewhere,” Young told The Associated Press in an interview. “It's just not art here.” “The town should not have the right to police art,” he said. “Those kids put their heart in it,” retiree Steve Downing said. He thinks the painting should stay. “Everyone has to comply with the ordinance,” said Charlie Birch, a former U.S. Forest Service worker. “And even though it was done by the students, which was well done, and I give them a lot of credit for it ... if you have the ordinance, ‘One for all,' that's where we are. You can't really make any exceptions, otherwise everybody else will want the exception.” Board member Luigi Bartolomeo said he thinks the pastry painting is art, not advertising. He read the definition out loud at the board's meeting in August, and said he agrees with a local attorney who called it “unconstitutionally vague.” “I think it's a very badly written piece of code here,” said Bartolomeo, who recently retired. But Board Chairperson John Colbath said the board has to work with the ordinance, which was approved by voters, and that there is a process to change that.

I stand for freedom of speech and freedom of expression... and yes, I can respect you even if I don't agree with you. Also, just because I like one thing that someone has to say doesn't mean I automatically agree with EVERYTHING they say. Is this the end of free speech as we know it? Luca$. 

SYNOPSIS:Blasphemy is any offense to religious sentiments. Globally, 79 countries have laws penalising blasphemy, ranging from secular states (like Canada, Finland, and Germany) to countries with a state religion (like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia). In secular democratic countries, while these laws protect the rights of minority religious communities and attempt to preserve social harmony, they are heavily criticised on the grounds of being unconstitutional and obtrusive to the right to freedom of speech. Critics also believe that these laws are counterproductive and instead push society to be more intolerant of alternative ideas and belief systems, making the very foundations of religious and moral beliefs more fragile and insecure. Religious reform and social change against draconian religious practices could only be possible because of staunch criticism. Poets, philosophers, authors and even scientists and discoverers who have been persecuted in the past on grounds of blasphemy enjoy popular credibility today for their contributions.Merits of religious criticism do not however disregard the potential risk to social harmony and possible validation of hostile behavior veiled under the garb of critique. What makes matters more complicated is the active rise in interreligious and inter-sect hatred and access to platforms to express opinions publicly that could potentially be provocative, aggressive, and hurtful to the sentiments of members of certain groups. The Indian constitution in its Article 19(2) provides for “reasonable restrictions” on the freedom of speech to precisely avoid and curb such intentioned violence. Article 295A punishes “deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs”. Though India does not have explicit Blasphemy Laws, critics believe that free speech and radical thought is repeatedly impeded in India by invoking these two provisions in the constitution, making it a covert Blasphemy Law. Incarceration of religious minorities and instances of mob violence, lynching and vigilante justice surface up repeatedly in the name of religious blasphemy.International organizations like the UNHRC and ICCPR have repeatedly questioned the degree to which blasphemy laws are compliant with fundamental human rights. How should then countries navigate between blasphemy, heresy, and hate speech? Is it justified to trade some part of individual freedom for an attempt at social peace? Does criminalisation of religious criticism protect the faith-holders or does it further create instability in the society? Should Blasphemy be punished?

With Elon Musk now poised to become the sole owner of Twitter, he's promising to take a much more hands off approach to content moderation. It's a promise that has cheered many critics of Twitter who have long accused the social media giant of unfair censorship and political bias, but it's also alarmed the experts and advocates who have spent the last several years pushing the site to take a more active role in policing misinformation, abuse and hate speech. On this edition of KCBS In Depth we wade into that debate and consider what it takes to safeguard free speech in the digital age.  Guests:  Imran Ahmed, CEO, Center for Countering Digital Hate David Greene, civil liberties director, Electronic Frontier Foundation David Rand, professor of management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Host: Keith Menconi 

Welcome back.  In this week's episode, we start off the show by taking a look at the ongoing chaos in Haiti.  The small island nation is in the midst of violent turmoil, and we get a look inside due to excellent reporting by Vice.   Next, we discuss the tragic death of Elijah McClain at the hands of police.   After that, we get into a lengthy debate on free speech.  The New  York Times has had a couple of articles this past week detailing how the membership of the ACLU is torn on the issue, and a bill was introduced in congress to regulate the major tech companies.  We discuss where the lines should be drawn for acceptable speech, and what policies we would like to see.

Early in 2019, there was a new executive order signed requiring colleges and universities that receive federal funds to extend free-speech protections to men and women on campus.

After the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, several social-media companies banned a host of far-right figures, as well as President Trump. The move provoked an outcry among conservatives, many of whom accused those companies of violating users’ First Amendment rights. The country’s ever-present disagreements over what, exactly, constitutes free speech have taken on new urgency in this era of little-regulated social media, disinformation, exhortations to violence, and so-called cancel culture. Andrew Marantz joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss the future of free speech in our splintered nation.

President Trump was recently banned from most social media platforms last week. This likely will affect his ability to reach his audience. President Trump has about a week to go until his term in office expires. He has been subject to much controversy over the past few weeks due to the January 6th Storming of the U.S. Capitol. President Trump, with bans on some platforms, will need to reach his audience through other forms of media. CORRECTION: President Trump would not be disqualified from holding office again if he is convicted by the Senate. Congress would have to hold a separate vote on the matter. DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer nor do I claim to have expertise of the practice of law. However, I have studied constitutional law at the undergraduate level. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stellar-spark/support

Philosophy: 'Should there be limits on free speech?' For the first time since its inception, 'Lincoln Leads' explores Philosophy. Our panellists, Dr Alexander Prescott-Couch (Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy), Ian Brownhill (2003, Barrister at No 5 Chambers), and Benjamin Musachio (2017, MPhil in International Development) tackle the question of whether there should be limits on free speech. In this lecture, we learn about the conceptual significance of free speech in the canon of western philosophy, the policing of speech by the State and the Self, and the debates surrounding no-platforming on campus. 'Lincoln Leads' is a seminar series designed to foster conversation between Lincoln's common rooms and alumni, as well as to showcase the exceptional research taking place in the College.

I started this week with the crazy story of the guy who stole a plane from Sea-Tac airport and killed himself with it. Then I get into the crazy story about the nutty Muslim compound in New Mexico supposedly training school shooters, and the free speech debate with Alex Jones. Of course I had a good child sex sting story, the masturbating bicyclist got shot by a grandmother, and a dude ignored his symptoms until his penis fell off. Music: Static-X/"Push It"

Is this new ban a step forward for civilised debate or a barrier to free speech?

On this drive I share some notes from my previous interview episode with Rafa Conde, and speak about law enforcement and the many common misconceptions that exist. I talk about the need for a strong warrior class in society that understands the true warrior ethos and the princicple of justice.

Today, we hear from Martha Jones, the Society of Black Almuni Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University, and formerly a professor at the University of Michigan. Jones brings some of her experience especially at that latter institution to bear on our topic today: politics on college campuses. We’re lucky she does. There’s been a lot of talk about campus politics, on both the left and right. On the right, we often hear about so-called liberal snowflakes who can’t bear to hear arguments that they don’t agree with, so they attempt to banish conservative speakers from their campuses and threaten to undermine the principle, the right, of freedom of expression. And on the center-left, we hear from some critics that identity politics is the problem: that students are so obsessed with the dynamics of personal identity and are thus incapable of or uninterested in the hard work of coalition building, sustained organizing, especially on the left. This latter position was stated pretty succinctly by the liberal critic Mark Lilla recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education, in an article titled “How Colleges Are Strangling Liberalism.” Martha Jones and I reference that piece because it does sum up the critique from the center-left quite well, and it relates to Lilla’s widely discussed and debated piece in the New York Times, “The End of Identity Liberalism.” We also address the future of free expression on campus: where Jones thinks that debate is headed, and how, in the wake of Charlottesville, it’s entered the mainstream.

I don’t think we have total free speech, for instance you can’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowd or ‘I have a bomb’ in an airport without getting in trouble, so there is a limit and the question is where that limit is.
