For anyone not convinced tht we have repressive anti-terrorism laws, look no further than the story of Paul Chambers, in yesterday’s Independent.
I and many other liberal-lefty people in Britain use to sneer and mock the American law-enforcement for overreacting to anyone joking about Osama Bin Laden. But in a Britain, where you can be banned for life from your local airport for making a tasteless joke… maybe it’s time we stop mocking and start campaigning before we lose even more of our liberty.

I vote yes, start campaigning, but keep right on mocking – it might be the best way to take the message mainstream!
