에든버러 2025년 4월 인기 이벤트

FSU Edinburgh Speakeasy
POLICING PRIORITIES: THE FREE SPEECH PERSPECTIVE
Wednesday 30th April
The Counting House, 34 West Nicolson St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9DD.
Panel debate 7.15pm - 9pm, (doors open 6.30pm), bar open until 10.30pm.
While ‘minor crimes’ like theft, burglary, and assault are deprioritised, resources seem increasingly directed towards monitoring online speech, recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’, and enforcing perception-based policing – where an activist’s allegation alone can trigger serious consequences for the accused.
A year after police began enforcing the country’s controversial Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, what has been the impact on free speech, policing, and public trust?
Do the police and our legal system make Scotland a fairer, safer society – or are they the backdrop to a new era of what Scottish writer Ewan Morrison describes as “cute authoritarianism” – a dystopian society in which essential freedoms are sacrificed on our behalf by authorities who claim we require protection from hurt feelings and offence to our identities? What happens to public life when subjective feelings dictate legal consequences? And if Scotland is a testing ground, is this a glimpse of what awaits the rest of us?
Join us on 30th April 2025 for an unmissable discussion with a panel of experts who know the legal and policing landscape inside out. With us will be: 
Keith Stewart KC
, Scotland’s former chief lawyer in Whitehall; 
Neil Hay
, Head of Private Crime at top law firm Levy & McRae; and 
Calum Steele
, ex-General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation. The discussion will be chaired by journalist 
Kapil Summan
.
There will, of course, be plenty of time for discussion, as well as socialising with fellow free speech supporters.
Panel debate 7.15pm - 9pm, (doors open 6.30pm), bar open until 10.30pm.
The FSU returns to 
The Counting House, 38 West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh
, for this panel discussion, Q and A and social. Book now to be part of it.
Tickets are £5 for FSU members, £10 for non-members.
