"The Great Free Speech" experiment was filmed with the participation of The Extremists Club meeting in the West End of London on the evening of October 25, 2016. As explained therein, there is an unfortunate break while the film is changed over, but this has been "covered" by some explanatory text, and the answers of the audience are displayed on the pieces of paper provided. The purpose of this experiment is self-evident, namely to demonstrate that just because you believe something is true, even if you are prepared to stake your house or your soul on it, doesn't mean it is true, so by suppressing counter-views, you risk perverting or even obliterating the truth. The fact that no member of the audience was able to correctly answer all three questions and that only one person was able to answer two of them correctly validates the experiment and invalidates those - usually self-styled anti-fascists - who take the opposing view.
