Free To Speak
A Legal Odyssey in Free Speech and Ethics
In this episode of the Free Speech Union Podcast, council member Thomas Newman sits down with lawyers Giles Brant and Peter Hardie to unpack a chilling story of professional scrutiny and the fight for free speech. Hear how a simple email exchange triggered a gruelling disciplinary process with the Law Society — and what their ordeal reveals about the state of professional regulation today. This conversation explores the balance between professional ethics, personal freedoms, and the ever-present threat of censorship. Essential listening for anyone interested in where free speech and professional standards collide. Part one of two.
