(didn't think so!)<br /><br />Also stand back and hear the deafening silence from all the so-called 'libertarians' in Britain, everybody from Richard Branson to Alan Duncan.<br /><br />It will also surprise no one that the number one "Mr Civil Libertarian Grandstander" during the last 50 years - David Steel, former leader of the Liberal party - will have an amazingly selective deafness to this as well, hot on the heals of his 35 year deafness about those Cyril Smith rumours (which he never heard). Fancy that!<br /><br />Not all civil liberties are created equal - it is so much easier to scream hysterically about Springbok tours, and mistreatment of IRA terrorists; and Enoch Powell, and ID cards, and call for "Free Nelson Mandela" and go on television and be sanctimonious (because that leads to votes and donations!) whereas when a 'real' issue crops up...well....to much like hard work.Mr Lineberrynoreply@blogger.com
