America remains the freest nation on earth. Does that mean you get to keep your student visa if you use it to support terrorism? No, but to cite that as proof that Europe is more liberal on free speech is laughable. The Economist should be ashamed. //

In Europe you have freedom to say anything you want, as long as it is what the government says you can say. Is that about right? //

"Europeans can say almost anything they want both in theory and in practice."

That’s a bald faced lie, just ask Tommy Robinson! Even pointing out a negative fact about Islam will land you in jail.

"Europe’s universities never became hotbeds of speech-policing by one breed of culture warrior or the other."

Because there's no dissent.They all think alike— on the left!

"No detention centres await foreign students who hold the wrong views on Gaza."

Another lie, they’ll, end you to prison for supporting Israel!
