    Saddening. The stifling of the free usually starts off small like this, then before you know it the free speech is nothing but a distant memory. On the positive side, if this trend continues, it'll piss off a whole bunch of bright people who might pack their bags and move to America.

    My first wife was born in Radcliffe. I think they should lock her up too.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Wearing an ACAB shirt isn't a good idea in America either. I like living in the Neds freedom of speech is just about limitless to the point of it being outright shocking to foreigners, but you don't get away with everything either. Shirt like that won't get you into trouble but why would you wear one it's just thoughtless.
