In the UK the took our weapons now you will be fined if you complain

Thats it' all freedom is gone in the UK, All the media have to do a U turn and report what is really happening.

They took the weapons first, now you cant even complain and that will include any sites like ATS where you complain,

You will be be fined by a regulator who will decide what you can and can't say and not just in newspapers but church flyers, facebook twitter etc.

A school kid complaining about school meals on Facebook could be fined by the regulator.

Oh and it is Alex Salmon



Oh and he hasn't passed any bill so it isn't happening. Did you even read it?

lol the british msm along with the government censors most news stories anyway so whats the difference. IF the media would act responsibly and not jeapordise court cases or hack ppls phones for gossip then this wouldnt have happened.

That is never going to get through.

The UK has been taking hits to obvious restrictions in liberty, but theres no way this will get through, no way!

"It cannot be right that an industry already in crisis should be expected to pay for the regulation of the very thing that’s killing it off." - this is a great point.

Its bad for the government bad for the people and bad for business.

Checking the link;
"Freedom gone" is an exaggeration. Nothing has happened yet, except that a group of "experts" have produced a report "recommending" measures.
Therefore not "can be fined"- could be fined if the recommendations are adopted and then legislated.
The rationale is that it would apply to people supplying news and celebrity gossip. "Complaining about school meals" is just somebody's take about how it could be applied "in theory"..

"In UK" is also an exaggeration. Even as a report, it only applies to Scotland.

All this means that "NOW freedom gone" and "WILL be fined" are unnecessary exaggerations.
Freedoms only go when they are definitely taken away, not when somebody is vaguely thinking about taking them away.
You need to pay attention to the difference.

Im not really against anything that reduces the pollution about celebrities we see in news constantly, but at the risk of stepping on the freedom to speak your mind, this will be squashed.

And the guy starting it is the guy who wants Scotland independent, this isn't coming from Westminster this is coming from Scotland so once again wrong.

edit on 16-3-2013 by DISRAELI because: (no reason given)

Ok lets look at the facts, this is not an opinion, a board was set up and paid for by the tax payer,

McCluskey’s panel included David Sinclair, director of communications at Victim Support Scotland, legal academics Neil Walker and Peter Watson and journalist Ruth Wishart.

Ruth Wishart. I thought she was dead' This woman was a nutter from the seventies who tried to bring in laws under the umbrella of womans rights, she wanted woman covered up like muslim woman and if a man had sex with a woman he met and she regretted it 1 week later then she classed this as rape.

Im going to see what she has been up to' from what i remember she was never elected but was deemed the authority in everything.

The fact remains that something which might happen in the future is not NOW.
It is misleading to describe it as something that has already happened.
Wait until it happens, before you can truthfully say freedoms HAVE BEEN taken away.

Easy to get a gun licence

1) Police check as long as you are not a ex con or have a history of bad mental health.
2) You are a member of a gun club or you need a gun for your work.
3) A secure lockbox which can be checked at anytime by the police.

So again your OT is wrong.

Nevertheless, it remains true that even WILL come to pass is not the same thing as HAS come to pass.
Do you not understand that there is a difference?

One day it WILL come to pass that you lie in your grave.
But does it make sense for anyone to say that you are lying in your grave NOW?

The falsehood in your OP was "freedom HAS BEEN" taken away.
If you had said "may be" or "even will be" you would have got away with it.

Handguns are banned but shot guns and rifles are allowed with a good reason to use for work or pest control on your land (or land where you have the permission to do so).

automatic or semi auto weapons are generally not allowed although some small caliber (.22) exceptions can be made.

I like guns and given the chance would own a 9mm for home defense if i was allowed to. The only reason for this being that criminals can get weapons where the average man has no chance, now the odds that someone breaking in to my house is armed is extremely small.

- Its hard to argue with the plain fact that its very unlikely you will be involved in a gun related crime and that if average law abiding people could own guns, more guns would be in circulation and more guns would end up in the wrong hands - requiring yet more guns to protect ourselves!

I bet Scotland has a press regulator in place by the end of the year and this will include for online also.

This goes deeper, the fact that they had someone on the board from Levy and Mc Rae tells me this will happen, they have been trying to shut people up for years such as Robert Green, Uk Column.

These people are dangerous, this and the leverson was a report no more no less, and they have change the wording a few times to call it "A Bill"

This man wants to make this illegal thing a pseudo law, but he probably won't be able to. If he does, do you bend over sideways and take it, or do you say, no you are out now! And I don't obey crimes against humanity. I will see you out and lose all your benefits and pensions, possibly even jail for such a signature on such a crime, it should be immediate jail sentence, and we will see that the law acts in the right ways so rethink and also resign quickly. I think some backbone is a good thing.
