Closed Launch a public inquiry into concerns about free speech in the UK

Closed on

We would like Government to launch a public inquiry into free speech in the UK, including criminal offences relating to social media posts.

We believe the prison system is clearly overstretched and under resourced. We are concerned about reports of people being prosecuted due to what they may have posted on social media.
