Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson faces investigation over reported ‘non-crime hate incident’

Free speech in the first world is, at times, a bizarrely dystopian experience. The original FSU in the UK, to whom FSU SA is affiliated on the International Association of Free Speech, has strictures of freedom of speech that South Africans would look aghast at. No more than the application of the Orwellian concept of the Non-crime Hate Incident (NCHI). An NCHI is a “non-crime” but can show up on an enhanced criminal records check! Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson is facing an investigation over such a bizarre allegation.
