A Legal Battle for Free Speech

Mike Fairclough’s tweet: My court case against my former employer

East Sussex will set a precedent for free speech within the workplace. My exchange with J. K. Rowling highlights the serious issue of people being bullied and hounded out of jobs for expressing lawful opinions on important issues.

The UK’s leading civil liberties barrister (Paul Diamond) and the Free Speech Union are representing me.

When we win, it will set a legal precedent in the workplace and make a philosophical belief in the importance of “critical thinking, freedom of speech and safeguarding children” a protected characteristic. Employees will then be protected when expressing their lawful opinions on any matter.
