I saw an excellent letter on Andrews ‘This Wheels On Fire‘ blog yesterday, (but could not post as ‘Blogger’ was not accepting new posts – more on that in another post).
As I said in a comment to his post, It always amazes me that the politicians that shout the loudest about freedom, democracy and rights are always the first ones to try and curtail there own peoples’ rights and freedom.
I thought that ‘we’ were the ones that criticised other countries like Zimbabwe, Burma and China that curtailed freedom of speech, perhaps I am mistaken!
Also found a map that shows just how big the central London Freedom of Speech exclusion zone is. I wonder if I marched down Whitehall waving the Labour Party red flag and the Stars & Stripes if I would get arrested?
