Three quarters of the public feel they cannot express their opinions due to fear of receiving abuse, according to the Government’s social cohesion advise

More In Common’s Luke Tryl has spoken out about the new report that claimed three quarters of the public are afraid to express their view due to fear of receiving abuse.

Speaking about the report to Farage, Luke Tryl said: "I used to work in education for Ofsted. I was a special adviser in the Department for Education. What I saw there were those protests in Birmingham, outside schools for their sex education content.
