The totalitarian creep of hate-speech laws The Law Commission wants people prosecuted for speech used within their own homes. spiked-online.com Samizdata quote of the day Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts) · Civil liberty & Regulation · Slogans & Quotations · UK affairs A totalitarian state cannot tolerate privacy, even and especially within the family, the last redoubt of dissent. Hate-speech laws do not yet cover what you say in the privacy of your own home – you can’t be prosecuted for stirring up hatred at your dining table or in the bedroom. The [law] commission, however, finds this idea of privacy intolerable. So, if it gets its way, any words you use in your own home that are ‘likely’, even by accident, to ‘stir up hatred’ against a vast array of ‘protected’ groups – including ‘punks’, if you can believe it – could get you sent to prison for seven years. These proposals will make parents fear their own children – and children fear their siblings. – Radomir Tylecote samizdata.net
