Deep dives
The Lawrence Fox Verdict
The podcast discusses the recent verdict in the Lawrence Fox case. Lawrence Fox, an actor, was sued for defamation after calling two individuals racist. In a convoluted case, the judge ruled that calling them pedophiles was defamatory, while calling someone racist was not. This decision raises questions about the definition of racism and its repercussions on people's reputations and careers. It also highlights the growing issue of political violence and intimidation, particularly within the realm of free speech.
MP Resigns Due to Intimidation
The episode addresses the resignation of MP Mike Freer, who represented the majority Jewish area of Finchley and Golders Green. Freer cited years of intimidation and threats as the reason for his decision to step down. This case sheds light on the use of political violence to deter MPs from speaking out and engaging in democratic processes. It also raises concerns about the erosion of trust in institutions and the perceived lack of action in addressing these issues.
Volunteer Police Officer's Misconduct
The podcast episode features a discussion on a volunteer police officer's misconduct towards a gospel singer on Oxford Street. The officer falsely claimed that the singer was not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds. This incident exemplifies the double standard when it comes to religious expression and the targeting of Christians. It also highlights the creeping authoritarianism within the police force and the erosion of civil liberties.
Concerns over Two-Tiered Policing
The episode touches upon the growing concerns over two-tiered policing and the loss of seriousness in the role of being a police officer. The easy access to becoming a volunteer officer and the lack of professionalism demonstrated in incidents like this raise questions about the public's trust in law enforcement. There is also a broader concern about the erosion of civil liberties and the need to address the creeping authoritarianism in society.
On this week's #NCFNewspeak, NCF Director Peter Whittle, Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and panellist Amy Gallagher, SDP Mayoral candidate discuss:
* Mike Freer MP decides to stand down after intimidation, death threats and arson
* High Court rules against Laurence Fox in an extraordinary ruling.
* Christian street singer is told by volunteer policewoman that church songs can only be sung on church grounds.
