Amendment 138/46 adopted again. Internet is a fundamental right in Europe.

Right of Access to the Internet, but with full Freedom of Speech - PERIOD! And nothing less.

When compared to The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guaranteeing the ‘Freedom of Speech and Expression, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which supposedly attempts to do similar under what it terms ‘Freedom of Expression’ is hardly worth the paper upon which it is written. Because, it has been drafted with too many spurious conditions attached, thereby laying it wide open to interpretive abuse by national and local authorities. Specifically, Article 10 allows for interference and or constraint by the government, and this folks, is not good for anyone.

Under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, individuals are allowed to express themselves without interference or constraint by the government - period. The USC First Amendment right to free speech, also includes and allows for other mediums of expression that communicate a message. So for the ‘Common Purpose’ enemy within who may currently be seeking for ways in which to undermine, control or restrict our right to communicate through the medium of Internet ‘Blogging’, please note that the USC First Amendment (which we would do better by adopting) does not afford members of the media (Press, TV etc.) any special rights or privileges not afforded to citizens in general - above all, the USC First Amendment guarantees the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Whether or not one likes or agrees with what any freeman on the land has to say regarding any subject or the manner in which some may wish to express their views or grievances, as people of good will, we should all be prepared to stand together under Common Law and fight for their right to say or write whatever they wish, no matter how crude, contemptible or stupid it may sound. Relying upon liable laws in a court of law to adequately allow for redress without requiring any further government intervention or restraint by the likes of those who would censor the Moppet Show or a cartoon depicting Gordon Brown as Mr. Toad of Toad Hall addressing a parliament of sleeping mushrooms – a familiar picture, I know. So put up or shut up.

Neither should Insult ever be an excuse for censorship or for stifling free speech/expression. Because insult and ridicule come with the political turf; sticks and stones, remember. Especially so in the current, popular politically correct, multicultural world of moral relativism that is being stealthily imposed upon us by the EU dictatorship - deciding for the public what is considered to be insulting or not should not be left to politicians and or government bureaucrats – If politicians can’t stand the heat of internet blogging in open debate, flat out criticism and harsh ridicule, whether insulting or not, then they should pull their greedy snouts out of the public trough and look for some gainful, wealth creating, employment elsewhere – difficult, I know – especially without expenses.
