I'd say they have the right but it isn't right, if that makes sense. I see those as being separate things, like I consider those views to be wrong but I think people should be 'entitled' to hold whatever views they have. With that though they should also be allowed to face criticism of their views, and the problem I feel with all of this is that as soon as someone does criticise they are then often criticised for having a criticism and it just becomes an argument about free speech which I feel is often misunderstood.

I'd say where the line gets drawn for me is if someone is inciting violence or hatred, I don't think anyone should be 'entitled' to that because it's imposing onto other people and negatively affecting them and their lives in an extreme way, it's no longer about someone having their personal freedom of speech or thought or even being about the views they hold, but actually placing consequences onto other people without their consent and they don't have the right to do that.
