the loony left want too bring the extremists too this country, I would rather have this guy come to this country, rather than the extremists who sponge off the hard working people, its too bad that there are many who are afraid, in saying what they think,

[Kizzy]

Poor guy, freedom of thought and expression is taken for granted here so much :(

[Livia]

Poor sod. He'd already contacted the police because he was worried for his life. Puts into perspective the people in this country who whine about freedom of speech.

[Kizzy]

Many whine as our freedoms are being eroded covertly, can you protest in parliament square now? have there been laws passed that make it nigh on impossible for the govt to be criticised by organisations/charities? are workers concerns (unions) addressed adequately?
And then there's the Human rights act...

Have to agree with Kizzy on that one; people "whine" about freedom of speech here because it's being gradually taken away. If anything this thread is an example of exactly why people SHOULD "whine" when they feel like that's happening.

People whine because they can't say someone's a **** on twitter, or tell bereaved parents that they're happy their child is dead, or that some other fate has befallen them. That's what I mean. I've seen it on here when people have been arrested for trolling, people saying "what about their freedom of speech". That's what I'm talking about.

True, people shouldn't feel free to be slanderous or to deliberately set out to needlessly cause upset unprovoked, but I think those sorts if things are often used as an excuse to remove genuine freedoms and in my opinion that is something worth being concerned about. If we're happy to say "oh we shouldn't complain, it's worse elsewhere!" every time... We might not always be able to.

That's not what I said though. And I have every faith that we will always be able to voice our opinions. I notice mention was made of not being able to protest in Parliament Square anymore and that's simply not true. What you can't do is set up camp or use voice amplifying equipment. That's not the same as not being able to peacefully protest, which is everyone's right. There are protests taking place outside Parliament on a regular basis.

And the fence?..

'Boris Johnson has been accused of using Parliament Square as his “private back garden” in an attempt to crush the fledgling Occupy Democracy movement.

Lawyers have written to London’s mayor threatening legal action after he sanctioned the construction of “unlawful” fences around the square, which campaigners claim are a deliberate attempt to stop them protesting peacefully. Parliament Square is considered to be one of the most important sites in the country for demonstrators and is maintained by Johnson’s Greater London Authority (GLA). Protesters argue that the square was conceived as a place for public meetings, focusing particularly on issues that they believe are being ignored by MPs.'
