And Boris Johnson? (am I alone in finding that bit strange?)
I’m sure you’ve seen this elsewhere and it should be obvious to you that I would come out defending free speech, but I thought I’d say something on the matter.
Chicken Yoghurt seems to be the main guy with info on this.
Duncan Borrowman also gives pointers to some of Craig Murray’s writing here.
Aside from that I have two things to mention. One is the need to reform English libel laws (I don’t know about the Scottish ones), the system works on a presumption of guilt and publication is deemed to be where the works are read. They go completely against any conception of free speech since they favour the rich against the ordinary person.
Secondly, I hope that the same level of outrage would be expressed against this sort of action against a neo-Nazi or other unsavoury website. Freedom of speech must be absolute otherwise it is meaningless.
