Free speech in Britain
So voicing concern about gay adoption now gets the police to finger your collar. Expressing the ‘wrong’ opinion is no longer considered acceptable by the state, which has decided what views are acceptable and what are not. Is this not the definition of a police state? And are the views of Lynette Burrows not shared by many, if not most, of the population? And how does this sit with all the harrumphing over the Terrorism Bill provision to outlaw material which glorifies terrorism, which is being ferociously opposed on the basis that we must never ever surrender freedom of speech, the principle at the very heart of our democracy?
