We do not fear criticism, nor do we resent it. For there is something far more important at stake. It is no less than freedom of speech itself: Lord Denning

In Reg. vs. Commr. of Police of the Metropolis, ex p, Blackburn, (1968) 2 QB 150, Justice Denning observed: “Let me say at once that we will never use this jurisdiction as a means to uphold our own dignity nor we will use it to suppress those who speak against us. We do not fear criticism, nor do we resent it.  For there is something far more important at stake. It is no less than freedom of speech itself.” He added that it is the right of every man, in Parliament or out of it, in press or over the broadcast, to make fair comment, even outspoken comment, on matters of public interest. We must rely on our own conduct itself to be its own vindication. 

Lord Denning, was UK's master of rolls. He made this observation on the law of contempt.
