Albion Insights 04-16-23 : Sven Longshanks on Trial
[Sven Longshanks](https://linktr.ee/svenlongshanks) is asked by an anonymous listener to give his thoughts on the trial two weeks after the verdict.

The Police, the Court and the Judge were all very professional and very good at their jobs.

Unfortunately the language we use has evolved over time and what implied physical violence when the wording of the law was created, now could be made to apply to simple work banter.

The law was created to prevent violence to minorities, but it also has the effect of making it difficult to highlight problems in society if they concern members of a group with protected characteristics.

In order to still be able to do this, we need to make sure we use language that is sympathetic and not unfriendly towards minorities, even when describing activities that are harmful to society.

People assume that we have free speech in Britain and can use whatever words we like to describe the things we see, but we do not and high profile cases like this one should make people more aware of this and more careful with the language that we use.

We are at our best when we are being objective and the public order act should be looked at as a strong incentive to do just that, to encourage us to look for common ground that we can agree on with our competitors.
