If emphasis is put on one part of his statement then I find it hard to disagree with, and that is the bit where he states "with impunity". Sure, you should be free to say what you like, but I don't see why you should be free of the consequences of what you say if what you say falls foul of the law. You either have a defamation law and enforce it or we all go around claiming each other is a kiddy fiddler and ruining lives.
