For the first time in twenty or so years, I have been censored by Blogger! A post of mine of a newspaper article on the petrol shortage and the panic buying that has been taking place because of the shortage was taken down! This astonishes me, especially since this post was a mere snippet from a Guardian article. So what exactly is being achieved by this? Anyone can go over to the Guardian and read the same thing. Is this the shape of things to come in the new, post-Brexit Britain, I wonder?
Americans' freedom of speech is guaranteed by their Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees that right. Alas, we Brits have no such guarantee. We are mere subjects, not citizens; and we have no written constitution. So we have only the rights conferred on us by Her Majesty's government. – Mark
