Anatomy of a non-scandal: the defence of Allison Pearson reveals how free speech' has been weaponised | Jane Martinson
Briefly

"The Allison Pearson saga is nothing if not a morality tale about the modern media... a stupid and since deleted tweet became a standard bearer for free speech across much of our media."
"I believe free speech is a human right... yet I also believe it is wrong and indeed racist to abuse a group of men on the basis of the color of their skin and an (incorrect) assumption about their nationality."
"To hold this opinion that racists and misogynists should not have carte blanche to say what they like under the banner of free speech... does not make me part of cancel culture, but a civilized one."
"My week of hell shows that the Britain we love and trust has gone, is Pearson's page 1 promoted, hyperbolic, lament in the Telegraph today."
