 Yup. It’s the party in power that tends to be against free speech. Always been that way.

 Yep, everyone wants free speech when they are criticising the rulers.

The rulers don't want free speech, because they don't want to be criticised. 

The thing that is strange right now is that the rules are trying to use the interests of minority groups in the form of virtue signalling to shut down any form of debate.
