Who has more freedom?
Back in England on a flying visit, I notice a real kickback against the initial surprise, not to say horror, over the Government's decision to ban Michael Savage from the UK thus giving the publicity-seeking chap exactly the oxygen he seeks.
and but raises the interesting issue of what limits on freedom of speech are reasonable.
Americans are not allowed to yell "fire" in a crowded room, but the Times piece is quite right - they have much more freedom of speech in most other areas.
The one that always strikes me is discussion of court cases replete with speculation about whether the accused is innocent.
Which nation is freer - the nation that protects minorities from abuse or the nation that lets a thousand voices scream?
