In totalitarian countries it is normal for it to be a criminal offence to "insult" the "Leader" (or whatever he is called). That now seems to be true in Britain too. The British Prime Minister is deemed to need the same sort of enforced respect that a Fascist or Communist dictator requires -- as the news excerpt below shows:
"A girl was arrested for wearing her "Bollocks to Blair" T-shirt at the Midlands Game Fair last weekend. Charlotte Denis, 20, a gamekeeper from Gloucestershire, was stopped by police as she left the Countryside Alliance stand because of the "offensive" slogan. Shocked and dismayed to be made a public spectacle, Denis tried to reason with the officers: "What do you want me to do? Take my top off and wear my bra?" At this point, two officers marched Denis towards a police car. "They grabbed me as if I was a football hooligan," she says".

Socialist Britain has obviously long ago given up on free speech. "Bollocks" is a very mild expletive and the girl was conveying in restrained country style the outrage many British country people feel about the recent ban on hunting. But political opposition in Britain obviously can now be conducted only within very strict limits -- which will no doubt gradually get more and more restrictive -- until Britain gradually morphs into a genteel type of totalitarian State.
