Partly that's due to not having a law for freedom of speech (except at one corner of a public park in London) that can be edited around. I saw some things about the laws that have been passed in the US which erode the right to free speech to such a level that it barely exists; it came down to "you have the right to free speech in your own home, to yourself". It is a bit disturbing really, the people who set up the US originally were a jolly smart bunch of chaps with some fantastic ideas; if only people had stuch with it.

Really? What laws are those?

That I can't remember, if I had I'd have mentioned it. I imagine it's possible to find out somewhere if you're interested; but, although the original article was vaguely interesting, I'm not actually all that interested in internal US politics generally as I never intend to go there.
