Re: Brits Only - The Freedom Bill
Well... I am putting my neck on the line with this one and have decided (with the support of a bunch of guys and gals from The Guardian "Comment is Free" section) to finally put my money where my mouth is and organise a demo and a variety of other lobbying events in relation to this. The final straw for me was Straw, who wrote a comment piece for the Guardian last week that had me so enraged that I wanted to personally seek him out and slap him. (He is also a Master Bencher at my Inn of Court, which adds insult to injury.)

Phillip Pullman (yes, he of His Dark Materials fame) wrote a lovely piece in response to Straw that really made me sit up and take notice:

We are a better people than our government believes we are.

And I thought to myself: f*ck this sh*t! I am not putting up with being treated like a number any more. And a whole bunch of people agreed with me. So we will be organising a demo in London in July (s'ok guys, it won't clash with Glasto) on a theme of " I am not a number!" - The Prisoner stylee.

I will spam a bit more when things are more in place, as it were. But I am sick and fed up of being treated like I was living in East Germany under the Stasi. Srsly.
