Gagged

the whole world now knows
pulling the plug on free speech
is the new order

Absolutely Brilliant Sir Harry 7 out of 7 Favorite The greatest illusion or trick played on the human race is democracy ir freedom of speech. You are free to speak about anything so long as it tows the party line or it is not deemed to be offensive for fear we will be ostracized or worse still dall foul of the law

Its in fact the complete opposite. There is no such thing as engaging or debating anymore its a lost art if your are not even allowed to express your opinion. Gagging is akin to being lectured to. And hard to stomach
