Your freedom in the UK

The video I owe to Adam Curry who spotted this CurrentTV 'viewer created content' clip. He's doing a good job reminding us all about how much our liberties (yes, those we sought to broaden and deepen in'68) are being encroached upon not only in the UK but elsewhere.

It's many a year since I visited Britain. But my daughter spent a year there in boarding school and found London... more disturbing than appealing.

One of my best friends has returned to her little house in the Languedoc-Roussillon after a quick junket to London, where she found herself counting the days until she could get back to the tranquillity of France where, unlike in the British capital,.she feels safe and secure.
