So everyone should have the freedom to say exactly what they wish.
Do you include paedophiles justifying their perverted desires, terrorists explaining why they are right to murder civilians, racists preaching hate? Should I be allowed to say just what I like about you without checking any facts, irrespective of how damaging that might be?
I don't believe you've thought about this properly.

Political correctness has nothing to do with it. Hate language causes real pain. If your government is stifling freedom of speech, deal with it in those terms and take out the language that would allow people to bully others.

I'm all for freedom of speech and I hate political correctness. However, who would decide what constitutes a "dangerous" website? The Government? No, thanks.

So you think the BNP should be free to describe Islam as a 'wicked' religion? I for one will NOT be signing your petition.
