Quote of the day

"When I pass protestors every day at Downing Street, and believe me, you name it, they protest against it, I may not like what they call me, but I thank God they can. That's called freedom".

Tony Blair, 7th April 2002.

Thanks to Our World Our Say for highlighting Blair's unequivocal defence of freedom of speech in a week during which a woman was convicted of reading out a list of names of British soldiers killed in service in Iraq by the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
