London (13 February 2021) Just one in eight (12 per cent) believes people have greater freedom to speak freely than five years ago.
“The impact of the rise of “cancel culture” is laid bare today by an exclusive poll that reveals half of Britons believe they are less free to say what they think than five years ago.
Freedom of speech in the UK is “under threat”, 50 per cent of people say, compared with less than a quarter (24 per cent) who disagree. Just one in eight (12 per cent) believes people have greater freedom to speak freely than five years ago, compared with 49 per cent who feel the opposite.”
