Today in the House of Lords, General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young, spoke in a debate on the impact that harassment and intimidation is having on the recruitment, retention and wellbeing of local councillors. Since the FSU was founded in 2020, we have taken on 317 cases relating to local government. Of those, 141 involved members of the public who faced complaints from councillors or council employees. The FSU has identified a concerning pattern. When members of the public express views that councillors find disagreeable — but which are protected under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) — they are often subjected to complaints that can have serious consequences. These complaints are frequently framed as allegations of harassment, misinformation or hate speech. Lord Young highlighted two examples. In one case, a grandmother was visited by two officers from Greater Manchester Police after calling for two local Labour councillors to resign when it emerged that they had shared WhatsApp messages expressing the hope that a local resident would die. In another, a member of the public objected to a 20mph speed limit at a parish council meeting. Two Green councillors then complained that his comments amounted to “harassment”. We must ensure that local government complaints procedures are not weaponised for political purposes or used to suppress legitimate criticism of elected representatives. Watch Lord Young below 👇
