20. is 'free speech' part of the Brittish equilivent of our constitution?
seems to me, the REAL meaning of 'free-speech' has been so warped by things like 'burning flags' and 'artwork'- that actually using words to express opinions (what I have always understood as 'speaking') has been out-lawed except when used to defame those this nation chooses to call- 'evildoers'.

The t shirt speaks the plain unadulterated truth-
If that offends people, then perhaps they need to seek ways to change the truth-

"Terrorism" is manipulating innocent people through violent acts, or threats of violent actions- and that is * in a nutshell- which is where the poor man lives.
