Summary

The state of free speech in the UK is sparking global debate - especially in the United States. Joe Rogan’s guests have raised alarms over arrests for social media posts, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance has warned Britain is “heading down a dark path.” That debate exploded this week after comedy writer Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted, was arrested at Heathrow by armed police over three posts about trans women. The government says police should focus on “streets not tweets,” while the Met insists only lawmakers can change the rules. What’s striking is how many of Linehan’s critics have defended his right to speak, signalling a possible shift in attitudes on the trans debate. Even Malcolm Gladwell admits he felt pressured into his earlier views. So - are we now at a watershed moment in this generation-defining issue of free speech, identity, and censorship? Piers Morgan is joined by Host of Gaines For Girls, Riley Gaines, YouTube commentator Blaire White, founder of Gender GP Helen Webberley, author and activist Laurie Penny and author and journalist Lionel Shriver.
