Following the recent release of Lucy Connolly, mainstream media outlets, the far right, and Connolly herself have framed the case as a 'free speech' one and represented her as a martyr and symbol of the cause. In light of this, I'm re-posting my @thesociologicalreview.org #UncommonSense interview:
#ICYMI: How is “free speech” abused and misunderstood? What’s up with #debateme culture? And what happens when powerful people claim they “can’t say anything anymore”? Hear sociologist of the far right @aaronwinter.bsky.social @versobooks.bsky.social on this and more. buff.ly/v1CumW2

Professor of sociology Oriana Bernasconi joins #UncommonSense to talk about a more serious side of #LifeAdmin – not that of mundane daily paperwork, but the documentation of human rights abuse and the liveliness of archives. buff.ly/3Z5vIiP

But it will take a very long time and very many more people will be killed and injured.

I hope the UK doesn't make the same mistakes in rolling out a 20mph... If they announce it loudly as a big policy - there will be backlash. If they quietly roll out a gradual road-by-road change of 30 limits down to 20, it won't raise the accusations of 'anti-motorist' but simply common-sense.
