"The enemies of free speech hunt in packs; its defenders need to band together too." Toby Young

Toby Young is a journalist, author, and founder and director of the Free Speech Union. While Toby is an outspoken commentator on issues such as freedom of expression, 'woke culture' and the press, his main passion has always been education. His books, including How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, are characterized by a self-deprecating and acerbic wit. His latest book, What Every Parent Needs To Know, was published in 2014, and he currently works as the London associate editor at Quillette.


"People should be judged by what they do with their lives, not by the worst of their bad jokes. And it might drive Toby’s critics mad, but he has done more for others in the last few years than most of his critics will do in a lifetime."  Fraser Nelson
