FREE SPEECH: Feel free to insult me!by Rowan AtkinsonPopular British comedian Rowan Atkinson, famous for his roles in the Blackadder and Mr Bean television shows, has spoken out publicly against British laws which in recent years have severely curbed freedom of speech.At a recent parliamentary reception in Westminster, Mr Atkinson launched a campaign against Section 5 of Britain’s Public Order Act, under which police can arrest and charge anybody for saying anything that might be construed by anybody else as insulting.The “Reform Section 5” campaign (subtitled “Feel free to insult me!”) is sponsored by both the National Secular Society and the Christian Institute.This overseas fight to defend free speech is of great relevance to Australia, where recent Labor Attorney-General Nicola Roxon was preparing changes to Commonwealth anti-discrimination laws, which, if passed, would greatly restrict freedom of speech and freedom of religion in this country.Rowan Atkinson’s speech in London at the launch of the “Reform Section 5” campaign is reproduced here in News Weekly.My starting point when it comes to the consideration of any issue relating to free speech is my very passionate belief that the second most precious thing in life is the right to express yourself freely.The most precious thing in life I think is food in your mouth and the third most precious is a roof over your head; but a fixture in the Number 2 slot for me is free expression, just below the need to sustain life itself
