Again, I wil re-iterate. You only see in the vid what they want you to see.

Aka the facts.

Freedom of expression has been destroyed through things like the obscene publications act, religious hatred laws etc. The government even had a website banned because it said sucralose was harmful.

Some people amaze me. You want freedom of speech then you've got to accept EVERYONE's freedom of speech. You've got to accept Abu Hamza standing on your street corner, trying to turn normal, impressionable kids into terrorists because it's his right. You've got to accept rasicst, sexists, homophobes - they all then have to have the right to say what they want, regardless of how disgusting their vile rhetoric is.

I think u got the wrong end of the stick here, historically it has always been shown that radical and violent speech has been BORN OUT OF surpressed freedoms.

i'm sure the original purposes of the terrorism act 2000 was not to criminalize people who had nothing to do with terrorism. (lots of examples in that video which have been documented in the news as well) The police seem to be using this act and other related legislation to fit their own purposes.

That doesnt make you even slightly uneasy?

No need for 2 identical threads, as fantastic as the film may be.
