Speakers' Corner - El "Rincón del Orador"

London-Hyde Park
Speakers' Corner is an area where open-air public speaking, debate and discussion are allowed. The original and most noted is in the north-east corner of Hyde Park in London, England. Speakers there may speak on any subject, as long as the police consider their speeches lawful, although this right is not restricted to Speakers' Corner only – the same right to free speech applies everywhere else in the UK. Contrary to popular belief, there is no immunity from the law, nor are any subjects proscribed, but in practice the police tend to be tolerant and therefore intervene only when they receive a complaint or if they hear profanity.
El Rincon del Orador, es una zona donde se permite hablar en público, la misma se encuentra ubicada en el extremo noreste de Hyde Park en Londres, Inglaterra. Se les permite hablar a los oradores siempre que la policía considere que sus discursos no violan la ley. Contrariamente a la creencia popular no existe inmunidad ante la ley ni existen temas proscritos. En la práctica la policía tiende a ser bastante tolerante y sólo interviene cuando recibe quejas o si se utiliza lenguaje ofensivo.
