Getting arrested for projecting a photo of two pedophiles. That’s definitely freedom of speech right there
There is no right to freedom of speech in the UK…
I thought you must be wrong but it seems there really is no explicit law about it and current freedom of expression laws have been introduced by the EU in 1998.
Yep but are still applicable to the UK. As those laws have not (yet) been recinded.
Unlike the US. Parliament is entirely sovereign and has no legal limit on laws it can create. But we do have a history of supporting freedom of speech way older then 1998.
IIRC, There’s also no right to protect yourself from self incrimination in the UK. They can literally keep you imprisoned indefinitely until you talk to the cops.
The counter-argument is that people would rather their view of the world heritage site not be affected by people with an axe to grind.
Ah, so political speech is now axe grinding. Got it.
Pretty poor counter argument.
“Justice for the abused” Vs “Oooh! Pretty building”
Now transpose this to a local land dispute, or personal rivalry, or other. The world is a lot more than Trump, and the law does have to reflect that.
It’s a projection. No damage has been done. It just dominates your view for a few minutes.
Even if you disagree with it, it’s such a mild form of protest to take exception to. Just let people express themselves.
It’s a projected image, not an engraving, not a painting.
