SCT’s New Website Goes Live!
November 2009
SCT’s website has been relaunched with a fresh design, improved navigation and new features including a Forum for Debate page which will showcase ideas, opinions and debates on a range of topics. The site which went live on 6 November has been designed by Clear Design. If you would like to let us know what you think of it – or have any ideas for further improvements, please let us know.
Speaking of Free Speech
“Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent and debate.”
— Hubert Humphrey, 1911-1978,
US Senator and Presidential candidateFreedom of Expression
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democratic life. It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society. So the rights to free association and expression are scarcely less important than the right to live in peace and free from want."
Václav Havel, playwright, former President of the Czech Republic & Patron of Speakers’ Corner Trust
The Hyde Park Tradition
