Both Teribus and Nigel have demonstrated that they don't know the difference between laws and punishments. I don't agree that I shouldn't be able to declare my atheism anywhere on earth, but I wouldn't be stupid enough, believe it or not, to shout it from a Saudi rooftop. A further point there is that wild horses wouldn't get me to a rooftop or to anywhere else in that country. Yes if I knowingly break even a stupid law I can expect to be punished. When Isis beheaded its captives on camera we were all justifiably outraged and horrified. But Saudi Arabia does that in public around 300 times a year, not to speak of its public floggings, and you hardly hear a whisper raised against it. You wouldn't for one second say that it would be fine to do that here, but, instead of condemning the regime, you are putting the blame on the victims for the predicaments they find themselves in. Well I don't think you're blaming the right people. And I don't see what trade union activism has to do with it. That's just a small-minded, gratuitous insult, frankly, totally uncalled for.
