'It's a #freecountry' is a commonplace but is it? Yes, you say, you can do what you want. Yet, on second thoughts how true is that expression in reality? As early as the 17th century, the Huron Indian chief Kandiaronk observed perceptively that we (not he or his people) live under the #tyranny of #money.
He was right of course. We are chained to it, governed by it; it rules our lives each day, each week for as long as we live.

@1br0wn #RishiSunak wants the UK out of tge #ECHR for this sort of thing. #HumanRights has never been something #conservatives value. You're not living in a #FreeCountry - there's your evidence

"As #US secretary of education, as well as a father and lifelong #educator, here’s what I know to be true: Parents don’t want politicians dictating what their children can learn, think and believe. That’s not how public #education is supposed to work in a #FreeCountry."
