Nick Ellis, Speaker’s Corner. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is arguably no greater modern-day aphorism than what the idea of free-speech represents. To some it’s meaning is clear, it is the delivery of justice in the tone of their choosing, the demand to be able to denounce, criticise and condemn anything they don’t understand or which makes them feel anger. It is not enough to openly engage their mind and spout hateful rhetoric, their opinion used as a weapon, each plosive in the mouth a tiny shell of blame, they carry it into the land of social media, their ignorance basking in bliss as they accuse and censure anybody else who tries to calmly rationalise their own point of view.
