Hey everyone — it’s Leaflit. Today I react to a clip by Warren Smith titled “Piers Morgan Finally REALIZES Things in the UK Have Gone Too Far”, where Piers — after a debate involving Andrew Wilson — confronts how horribly strict and dangerous the UK’s new speech-policing laws have become.

In this video I break down why I stand with Wilson and Morgan — and why I think the UK’s approach to speech is deeply troubling:

What the UK laws allow: Under legislation like the Communications Act 2003, sending a “grossly offensive or menacing” message online can be punished — even when the message is a criticism or political opinion.

The chilling effect on speech: The phrase “grossly offensive” is vague and subjective. That means even unpopular or controversial opinions — or harsh criticism — can get someone jailed or prosecuted.

Why this matters for democracy and dissent: When governments can throw people in jail for disagreeing, criticizing politics, or even posting controversial opinions online — that isn’t protection or stability. That’s censorship under the guise of “safety.”

Why I support Andrew Wilson & Piers Morgan's stance: People must retain the right to speak freely — including to challenge power, discuss unpopular ideas, or say things others find offensive. Without that, “free speech” becomes a tool only for the approved, not for everyone.

What needs to happen: Laws should protect people against real threats — not opinions. The UK should revise or scrap vague provisions that criminalise “offensive” speech, and restore protections for dissent, satire, and unpopular viewpoints.

If you care about free speech, open debate, and the right to speak your mind — this video’s for you. Hit Like, Subscribe, and ring the bell. Then tell me: Where do you draw the line between “hate speech” and “free political speech”? Should European countries follow stricter or more lenient rules than the UK?

Under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, it is illegal in the UK to send messages over public electronic networks that are “grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.” Critics argue this criminalizes speech that would be legal in many other countries.

As of recent years, there have been multiple prosecutions for social-media posts judged “offensive” or “insulting,” and many free-speech advocates warn this creates a chilling effect, discouraging dissent and controversial viewpoints.

Observers argue that such laws — especially with broad interpretation — pose a threat to legitimate political criticism, satire, and societal debate. When “distress,” “offence,” or “insult” can be punished, then subjective feelings become the basis for legal consequences.
