Law - Free Speech - Conundrum - Quandary
Discussion
Hello,
Reading this after having been sent it earlier - I thought that living a Western Democracy (of sorts - as long as you enjoy UK/USA First Past The Post Voting) that you have the right to Offend even though others may be Offended by you opining your viewpoint - we all have differing preferences - my one out here in the West Indies is to raise a fist and yell "GO TRUMP" to Americans often wearing my MAGA Baseball Cap - some Yanks and Canandians go quite MAD and delirious - but some go apoplectic - they are mostly Liberal Lefty Wokes from NYC - Washington or California under 45 years of age - but its a Free Speech society in which we live. I personally enjoyed from over here in the Caribbean - Boris - BREXIT and Nigel Farage the UK's most effective Politician since Margaret Thatcher - however you might not have the same view or opinion as mine - as is your right in the Western world!
So please read this and tell me how an Employee in own time and on own Smart Phone - Laptop and Socail Media posting what ever they like - again some may agree and some may disagree with those viewpoints - are Googled and found and then Linkedin leads them to Employer and then people GANG-UP and BULLY Employer to do something with the Employee due to Social Media Posts made in own time on own equipment and using own name and not mentioning who employs them - then Boss gets them into work and Suspends them for nothing about the job they do at work!
I think I would SUE them or go to an Employment Tribunal - what would you do - I obviosly do not like her vile Posts - but see my first paragraph!
What are your thoughts on this story then - I am sure the above covers all valid points - or do I NOT understand the Law of the Land?
