Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

The Workers Party of Britain has expressed skepticism towards the establishment and has advocated for significant changes in the political and economic systems.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Workers Party of Britain, led by George Galloway, positions itself as a party that champions the working class and often emphasizes unity and solidarity among workers.

Very strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

The Workers Party of Britain, while critical of certain government policies and advocating for the protection of freedoms, would likely view this position as too narrow and not reflective of their broader commitment to combating discrimination and promoting social justice. They would probably argue that freedom of speech laws should protect a wide range of expressions, not just criticism of the government, while still allowing for restrictions on hate speech.
