Mark Oppenheimer is an Advocate who is passionate about free speech. In this discussion, he educates us about what exactly hate speech is, what kind of free expression an open, democratic society should promote and why the Hate Speech Bill is interesting. We also get into the separation of powers, why the courts are more important than ever, and why Trump’s Muslim ban is a bad idea. As one of the few experts around what should and shouldn’t be tolerated, what’s offensive, harmful and insulting – you might just want to find out if you’ll get locked up for the things you say in the future.
