Never will a word of hate pass my lips. Because I take my 'right' to free speech seriously. With every right there is a responsibility. Why tho, do I defend free speech? Because it is essential if we are to hold governments to account. It is the right of whistleblowers to call things out. It is the freedom to civilly disagree with my neighbour. I don't believe in censorship. But I do believe people should be excellent to each other and exercise rights responsibly.
