"Don't know about his nom de plume, but I do know the answer to his question: "How free is Britain?" Answer: not very. As Admiral Nelson used to say, thank God I live in a civilized country." Well Mr Chad, or may I call you Jovial? Accodring to http://www.heritage.org/research/features/index/countries.cfm Great Britiain is the 7th most economically free nation at the moment, with the USA lying in 13th position. Now I accept that this is a measure of economic freedom, but I think you'll find that economic and social freedoms tend to go hand in hand. So perhaps you should look at your definition of "a civilised country"
