Andrew Doyle — Free Speech: And Why It Matters
Political Correctness has formed the basis for a new intolerant mindset, actively policing speech that is deemed offensive or controversial.

Taking on board legitimate concerns about how speech can be harmful, Andrew Doyle argues that the alternative — an authoritarian world in which our freedoms are surrendered to those in power — has far worse consequences.
