A Daniel is come to judgement.

All hail to the District Judge who threw out the case against Brian Haw, who has been protesting outside the Houses of Parliament against the Iraq war (and before that, against sanctions against that country) for getting on for six years. Whatever your views on the rightness or otherwise of the war, we are told it was entered into as part of the "war against terror" which has been presented as essentially protecting our democratic values against those who would destroy them. One of the more important of those values is that of freedom of expression, so how does that square with the Government's continuous efforts to silence Mr Haw? I fear they won't stop, but their hypocrisy is there for all to see.
