In this panel discussion from our latest event, Prospects For Liberty Under This New Government, Rt Hon Steve Baker FRSA was joined by Fred de Fossard, Director of Strategy at the Prosperity Institute; Jasper Ostle, Head of Research and Education at the Adam Smith Institute; Maeve Halligan of the Institute of Economic Affairs; Albie Amankona, Voice for Freedom at Fighting for a Free Future; and William Yarwood, Campaigns Director at the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

After a fascinating opening address from Big Brother Watch’s Silkie Carlo, our panel considered how far Britain could go in restricting what people are allowed to say. They discussed the erosion of free speech, the pressure to treat words as violence, the limits of tolerance, and why open debate remains essential to a free society.
