I posted on the Xmas Eve thread as hallotommy in response to gillesboy's call for an amnesty for banned posters. I said that it was more likely that the mods would allow a truce rather than an amnesty and, quelle fucking surprise, I was right.<br /><br />My posting rights were short-lived. <br /><br />To be honest, if I wrote a piece on what I'd learned in the last ten years, it would be that the concepts of liberty and free speech are essentially fluid, and that the Labour Party which I'd grown up trusting was more easily bought than I could ever believe, that values which I always thought had spiritual or ethical markers turned out to be mercenary above all and easily bought, and that the Guardian was not the paper it was when I was young and idealistic, nor the paper it was when I was older, more cynical but not easily bought, and that I thought that Comment is Free meant that free speech was valued, and not that it was a commercial operation which welcomed airheaded morons, above and below the line, in the interests of pagehits.<br /><br />What a fucking country the UK has become.<br /><br />And how sadly reflective of it the Guardian/Cif is.<br /><br />Man of the Year: Alan Rusbridger.
