Rejected petition Create legislation protecting absolute freedom of speech post-Brexit.

Once the UK has left the EU, we need to draft legislation that officially gives UK citizens the right to absolute freedom of speech.
This should ideally be drafted similarly to the United States 1st amendment of their constitution.

More details

In an era of political correctness and censorship, we believe it is important that all peoples be able to speak their mind, without fear of legal repercussion, and regardless of the offense others may choose to take.
Our Rights relating to freedom of speech and expression are currently dictated by the European Convention on Human Rights and are poorly defined.
We want clearly defined legislation that gives absolute freedom of speech.
