Introduce stand alone law protecting absolute right to free speech
Currently the UK protects freedom of expression under Article 10 of the ECHR through the Human Rights Act, but this right is not absolute and can be limited by law. We think this should be changed so the UK has a defined law on free speech which is not based on the HRA, but is a stand alone law.

Enshrine the right for citizens to live offline in UK law
Enshrine the right to live and participate in society without the internet or digitally connected services into UK law. We believe banking, voting, tax, public transport, food, education, etc., should never require ownership of a mobile phone or any digital devices.
