Thought Crimes
I wonder where all those self-proclaimed free speech warriors are for this one.
It's been proposed that professing support for a banned group, even if you're not encouraging others to support them, should be made a crime.

By banned group he means ISIS and the like by the way.
Jesus wept.
I think you'll find most free-speech advocates draw the line at clear and obvious threats to life.
You monumental dipstick.

I believe in free speech, but only to a point.
The utter stupidity of some people on Twitter and the news websites commenting on this Mandarin Oriental fire today would have led them to the gallows had I been in charge of the country.
