British Civil Liberties Film Released

An anonymous reader sends us to a BBC article about a British film likely to attract the attention of civil liberties supporters. The film, Taking Liberties , is a documentary about eroding civil liberties in present-day Britain. It will be showing in cinemas in major cities across the UK starting next weekend. From the article: "Director Chris Atkins wants Taking Liberties to shake the British public out of their apathy over what he sees as the dangerous erosion of traditional rights and freedoms. 'This film uses shock tactics. We needed to be unashamedly populist... Once you give up traditional liberties such as free speech and the right to protest you are not going to easily get them back,' says Atkins."

I know that I'm being a troll here, but I don't understand how an arrogant asshat like yourself, who believes so sincerely that you know better than everyone else, gets away with not having a troll label.

Because this is /. and here he is in the minority. Your reasoning is also why the big fans of Linux here are utterly incapable of convincing anyone to switch to that OS, etc. I'd warn you not to make them aware of their style of conversation having an obnoxious body odor, but I know them well enough that they aren't going to learn or change.
