What has happened to Free Speech ?

I was reading in the paper yesterday about someone who disagreed with breast feeding in public, but was scared of saying anything in case the PC Brigade came down on him like a ton of bricks.

I disagree with this view, but I think he should be able to state it.

Are there any topics you feel you can't talk about openly, because your view may not be the popular one ?

I had an after lunch nap, mainly because I had the hedge-cutter out this morning. Well, my hands and arms were achey anyhoo so I thought what the heck. MrB came and helped with the clearing up. Then I had a massive bowl of pea'n'ham soup and crashed. Hands less achey now, not more. So that's good smile
