Description

A viral video showing British police officer warning a man that telling somebody to "speak English" could be perceived as a hate crime has sparked outrage online. Critics have claimed free speech is under attack in the United Kingdom and other European countries, pointing to hate crime laws enacted by some countries. This latest incident has only served to feed the flames of opposition to the heavy hand of government curbing speech in the name of reducing alleged “hate.” Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this preposterous piece of video and the very idea that telling someone to speak English could be automatically deemed hateful.

The fact that it is now illegal to say the words "speak English" in England is problematic to say the least
