Anna B Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 My but it's gone quiet on the forum since the high profile arrests and lengthy imprisonment of people who 'incited rioting' using facebook, twitter and other forums. I curse those looters who gave politicians the moral high ground and the opportunity to stifle free speech (and I am not condoning the use of the internet to encourage rioting,) but may I remind people that we still live in a land of the free, and open debate and non aggressive protesting is still legal. Heaven knows, there is much to protest about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We're too busy bombing and killing people overseas so that they have freedom rather than ensuring those that live here have the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
