Written by: Dr Binoy Kampmark Leave a reply Category: Politics permalink Regulating speech at law is much like regulating breath.

Written by: Rossleigh Leave a reply Category: Politics, Rossleigh permalink Of course it’s hard to stay consistent to the values of society because as Saint Margaret of Thatcher said slightly before she lost all reason – or slightly after depending on your politics – “There’s no such thing as society!” And of course, even Maggie wasn’t prepared to tell people that they didn’t need to pay their taxes because of this… But I’m not here to speak ill of the dead.
