Revellers' Club supports the Free Speech Union.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”. George Orwell.

Revellers' Club is open to anyone of a like mind, including eccentrics, heretics and people with controversial ideas— Revellers' politics or religion matter, not a jot.

Revellers are friendly, engaging, and (some) witty. The heated argument, even if it offends, generates clarity and wisdom.

​

So, the growing Cancel Culture and sackings due to intolerance are deeply disturbing. 

​

The Free Speech Union (FSU) is riding to the rescue. Toby Young, its founder, gave a talk about it on 5th October. It was a convivial evening, despite depressing stories of de-platformed speakers and fired university lecturers. The one about a policeman sacked for using an un-pc word in a private WhatsApp message was spine-chilling. 

​

Toby explained that politicians drafting legislation could unwittingly or otherwise curtail free speech. So, FSU lawyers are helping them to protect it. When FSU members lose their jobs for expressing their opinions, which rub against Woke orthodoxy, Toby writes polite but legally menacing letters to their bosses, often affecting reinstatement.

​

There's a fun social side too. The FSU arranges politically incorrect comedy nights in various venues around the UK.

​

Membership starts at slightly more than the cost of a monthly cappuccino. You'll be doing your bit to protect free speech, and you can join some fun events. Notably, the Free Speech Union will be there if, God forbid, you ever need their services one day.
