Episode description
The government is introducing a new law claiming to defend freedom of
speech, amid an alleged crisis on British university campuses of 'cancel
culture' and de-platforming. But is it really the case that freedom of
expression is being unduly restricted in our society? Or is it an
exaggerated distraction from bigger issues? Harry Walker of Bristol
Uni's Free Speech Society has been at the centre of the debate. Neil
sits down with Harry to thrash it out.
