    “If you can't talk freely - it's no use having the freedom of assembly is there - think about that for a while”

    Discussion is about free speech to do with democracy. In your quote from Rushdie I see nothing to do with democracy.

    Hitler had free speech and assemblies.
    How did that work out?


    If free speech contains hate and incitement to riot

    it has no place in democracy or decency
