Connie Shaw, External Affairs Officer at the Free Speech Union, joins Mike Graham to discuss recent incidents in which individuals, including Deborah Anderson, were visited by police for things they posted online.
Connie Shaw comments on the increasing frequency of such police visits over social media posts and the impact of these encounters, which she says are happening too often. She says these matters have led to a surge in interest for the Free Speech Union.
The conversation highlights other similar cases, such as Robert Moss, who was also visited by police for online criticism of his employer via Facebook.
Both Mike and Connie agree that these incidents appear to be increasing, suggesting a disconnect between Keir Starmer’s words and actions, particularly regarding the protection of free speech in the UK.
