"Police of Thought" shortly in British pubs and public meetings

Living in western Europe, you do not request to be a resident of 1 of the European Union countries to experience the consequences of further restrictions on freedom. Under the pretext of protecting workers' rights, the British Labour organization is seeking another, with kid in possible consequences, to cut off freedom of expression.

‘The owners of pubs will become Joke police, venues will little frequently invitation controversial artists, and universities will receive a legitimate reason to retreat invitations to the speeches of controversial speakers in the framework of labour rights reforms which are part of an ongoing government war with freedom of speech," says Free Speech Union website, an organization fighting for freedom of expression on the British islands.

The alarm concerns the announcements of the amendment of the employment Rights Act published by the regular message and The Telegraph. In the name of alleged “equality”, entrepreneurs or heads of institutions will be held liable for cases where those employed by them feel offended by statements or behaviour of 3rd parties – specified as pub customers or public meetings and conferences.

"This will have disastrous consequences for freedom of speech, will impose tremendous compliance costs on 1 and a half million British businesses; the doctrine of reckless compliance will further enter our lives and will bring sadness in the [premier] kind Starmera to the spheres where we utilized to enjoy life" – the FSU estimates.

Toby Young, secretary-general of the organization called the announced amendment with the word "Snowflakes Card", referring to the characteristics of the current, oversensitive generation. It's hard to be surprised. The government intends to legalize the gag of freedom of expression not only in public, but besides in private circumstances, which are social gatherings in a restaurant or pub. It is adequate that the service individual is deemed offended by the slogan on the guest's shirt, e.g. "there are only 2 sexes", and his employer can be afraid of serious problems – only due to the fact that he does not choice customers in terms of acceptable views by the system.

– It can be expected that all pub in England and Wales will hire prank police to eavesdrop on client calls and exclude storytellers inappropriate jokes – he bitterly ironic Young in an interview with The Telegraph.

The Union of Freedom of Word announces protests against the amendment.

At present, British law already imposes work on employers for infringements of the employment Equality Act, but not by alleged 3rd parties.

“If we were just talking about sexual harassment, that would be 1 thing. But this bill actually seeks to extend 3rd organization liability to any kind of side effects already prohibited by Equality Act, including eavesdropped calls," explains FSU.

"In another words, under this law employers will gotta defend their employees from being overheard Disturbing not only by colleagues, but besides bystanders. In the retail, hotel, amusement and discipline sectors, businesses will have a legitimate legal interest in controlling what members of the public say – what we now consider to be a daily, free and fundamentally private speech will be governed by formal codes of conduct and investigated for possible legal consequences", the organisation observes.
