No such right does or has ever exsisted. Its clear now that it never will.<BR/><BR/>Our 'rights', for want of a better word, (god help us) relie on the likes of Cheri Blair.<BR/><BR/>As the government appoints the judges and the media has gone into a love affair with big authoratarian government of any colour. European Liberty, always the poorest of bitches , is currently getting a fisting she will never forget or ever recover from.<BR/><BR/>Libertarianism in 2007 is confinded to personal swear blogs and dusty book shelves. Its a concept brainwashed out of several state educated generations.<BR/><BR/>Beware anyone who claims to want to change the mode of British politics. If is precisely the 'war' between political ideologies that have preserved what freedom we still have for so long. When politicians of different partys start agreeing with each other, free thinking people should start counting their few remaining days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-37965293564690790082007-04-21T08:42:00.000+01:002007-04-21T08:42:00.000+01:00The dreaded 'C' word: not 'Conservative' by any ch...The dreaded 'C' word: not 'Conservative' by any chance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-23481834423831010012007-04-21T08:41:00.000+01:002007-04-21T08:41:00.000+01:00DK is clever, does his research, is very direct, g...DK is clever, does his research, is very direct, gutsy and one of the best around. The robust effing and blinding takes a little getting used. But give me a brilliant DK post expletives and all rather than some of the tedious boring posts that litter the blogworld.

To everyone else, this is the point: I exercise my right to free speech on my blog, you exercise it here and we all make our own adult choice as to what we read.<BR/><BR/>Jailhouslawyer: NotSaussure merely thinks that this will not materially effect British criminal law. The nature of our common law being what it is, we won't know until the first case is brought.<BR/><BR/>I suggest that you download the document and read it for youself. Whilst the document itself may not make significant changes, the fact that the EU, an unelected bureacracy, is dictating what we can and cannot say is disgusting,<BR/><BR/>Because, remind me when we get to elect the EU Commission?

Anyone who did anything in a manner likely to incite violence or hatred would almost certainly breach section 5 of the Public Order Act 1936, which prohibits "A person is guilty of an offence if he uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour . . . within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby".<BR/><BR/>1936, no doubt you will recall, was a year when the Conservative party was in office.<BR/><BR/>The draft has been (for once) very efficiently filleted by the Government.
