    No, I don’t want to get too comfortable in case I never get off

    What happened to freedom of speech? 😉
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    It doesn't exist.

    You’re all free to say whatever you like whenever you like. There are just consequences to your actions 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It has to take its chances with other rights when they come into conflict. Equal rights, not special privilege :-)

    Sorry MrsGrey, but are you implying that freedom of speech is a special privilege?

    It is if you disagree with Alderz

    Not at all. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was trying to say that it is only one right of many, and it doesn't take precedence over the others.

    And in any case, it isn't an unadulterated right. For example, laws prohibiting libel and slander have long been in existence.

  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    MrsGrey, correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding was that libel and slander are not prohibited by law, rather that the person libelled or slandered can seek redress under the law.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes. In the UK. It's different elsewhere.

    Freedom of speech wasn't enshrined under English law until the Human Rights Act 1998, instead we had the common law principle that you could say or write anything you liked providing there wasn't a law against it (e.g. obscenity, blasphemy, seditious libel).

    ASLEF, the walking/sitting encyclopædia, did you Google that? Please say you didn't. 😉

    Gosh, this site is a fountain of knowledge and information.
    I only came on to say it was really muddy out in the fields when I went out for a walk today. And I heard a Big Bang which turned out to be an aeroplane.

    I very confidently told my girlfriend that someone upstairs had dropped something, and was immediately proven wrong by the news :)

    Haha. I thought my neighbour had slammed a door so loudly that it shook our conservatory (she has an annoying habit of slamming doors all the time).

    Almost went round to complain, before learning it was a sonic boom.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    That must of been a big something to be heard 70-80miles away. It made me jump. 😂

    Used to hear it at sea with Concorde when in the Royal Navy well loud

    I had to Google the date of the HRA but I had a vague recollection of the rest.

    The sonic boom rattled my windows in Leyton, seems it was an RAF Typhoon on a "Quick Reaction Alert" to check out a cargo plane that had gone off course on its way to Stanstead.

    Such a mansplainer 🙄

    It was such a weird sound. It reminded me of the Canary Wharf bomb a bit, though our back door flew open that time.
