Free Speech - It doesn't come cheap
I was watching the 'Peoples' Century' on UK History. Programme on African Independence - Nkrumah and Ghana, he was busting everyone left, right and centre for speaking out against his regime. This was not far removed from the current situation in the UK, plans seem to be afoot to shut up the press (and then us) "People were arrested for speaking out against the government, they weren't told why they were arrested" This was happening in Ghana in the 50's and it could happen now in the UK.
