Freedom, Part CMXXIV - Yesterday

Freedom, Part CMXXIV - Yesterday in this space (see "Why We Fight", below), we saw what joke freedom of the press has become in France.

Now, Natalie Solent shows that the UK isn't far behind. A Brit was accused by a Moslem man under a new hate crime law of defaming Islam. The "perp" has been convicted, and may get prison time.

The accuser, by the way, believes Bin Laden is a great man, and that Americans are stupid and deserve to die. Since it's not attacking anyone's religion, it's not actionable.

Shocked, aren't you?
