"Freedom of speech is not a licence to preach violence."
Is this statement one word too long? Should it not be, "Freedom of speech is not a licence to preach." If the word 'violence' is necessary, is the word 'preach' the right one?
What about 'promote'? What about 'normalise'? Is not television, 'violence' from end to end, and football much the same?
"The director and star of the grisly follow-up to Drive talk to Henry Barnes about playing God, staying out of fights and
making ultra-violence sexy. Only God Forgives, which also stars Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas, had its premiere at the Cannes film festival and was given a five-star review by Peter Bradshaw"
