Following on from the recent beheading in France, where the History teacher aimed to discuss the concept of free speech, I question whether there is, or ever has been a concept of free speech.

As we move Forwards as a society with what seems like exponential growth of the population it seems that more than ever what we think and say is stifled, controlled and manipulated. We are being programmed how to think!

If our views don’t match another’s, long gone are the days of lively, harmless debates, now it is a fear to speak due to potential consequences. What a world we live in!
