How Russians, the Rich and the Government Try to Prevent Free Speech and How to Stop Them. ESSENTIAL Amal Clooney AUTHORITATIVE Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC IMPORTANT Baroness Helena Kennedy KC COULD HARDLY BE MORE TIMELY Alan Rusbridger The British tradition of free speech is a myth. From the middle ages to the present, the law of defamation has worked to cover up misbehaviour by the rich and powerful, whose legal mercenaries intimidate investigative journalists. Now a new terror has been added through misguided judicial development of the laws of privacy, breach of confidence and data protection, to suppress the reporting of truths of public importance to tell. Drawing upon the authors unparalleled experience of defending journalists and editors in English and Commonwealth courtrooms over the past half-century, the book describes the hidden world of lawfare, in which authors struggle against unfair rules that put them always on the defensive and against a costs burden that runs to millions. Law schools do not teach freedom of speech and judges in the Supreme Court do not understand it. This book identifies and advocates the reforms that will be necessary before Britain can truly boast that it is a land of free speech, rather than a place where free speech can come very expensive.
