Episode 27: Can I Say That?

NATIONAL REVIEW
About this episode

Is free speech more at risk in the U.K. or the U.S.? Should Britain adopt a First Amendment? How can it possibly be legal for the police to place "non-crimes" on Brits' criminal records? Why is Scotland so censorious? And is it getting better? On Episode 27, Charles talks to Toby Young about these questions and more.

He also discusses the delicious political candidacy of Calvin Ball (yes, really!), and answers a question about martial arts.
