Geese and the sauce of freedom of speech
I see fearless champion of freedom of speech Guido Fawkes* is defending Wikileaks. The website is a repository for documents that might otherwise be suppressed.
This is where Guido uploads important documents (like that Northern Rock memo) and others they don’t want you to see…
I’ve got some important documents that ‘they’** don’t want you to see. Would Wikileaks be the best place to put them for safe keeping, do you think?
(Guido will also be speaking at the Manifesto Club - that bolt-hole for the some of the Living Marxism atrocity deniers - on Tuesday. ‘Guido will be putting the case for the freedom to offend everyone except the truth’. Would anybody like to go? I imagine we could make the Q&A session afterwards an interesting one.)
* Number of legal proceedings initiated against other bloggers: 2
** ‘They’ in this instance being Guido Fawkes.

I checked out this clubs site,I would not argue with your comments, as far as free speech goes its not something I debate it is something I endevour
to practise,,,,but as much as I detest the present gov I wont argue against
any steps taken to protect children from abuse, whatever form it may take,
I cant see why anybody would, and anybody/s who did I would be very suspicious as to their motives.
“but as much as I detest the present gov I wont argue against any steps taken to protect children from abuse, whatever form it may take”
What if the steps taken involved, say, castrating every adult male? Would you be suspicious of the motives of anyone who argued that, despite the undeniable awfulness of child abuse and the fact that this would certainly reduce its incidence, it might not be the most sensible strategy to follow…?
