Charles Clarke Proposes Making Free Speech Illegal


British Home Secretary envisions five years in prison for vocal supporters of violent rejection of violent Anglo-American foreign and economic policy.

"The government's proposed anti-terrorism laws published yesterday are so widely drawn that anyone who "glorifies, exalts or celebrates" any terrorist act committed over the past 20 years could face a sentence of up to five years in prison." - Guardian

The expression "terrorist act" is left undefined, enabling the Home Office to use it as it sees fit.
