1. British Citizens are legally free to travel anywhere in the world. Your Government says you are not.

We have chosen these policies through our representatives. We can change them whenever we please.

2. What can you say that I cannot?

I can say anything I want so long as I am not inciting others to commit crimes. Your speech on many subjects (homosexuality, Naziism, Jews, Islam, etc.) is proscribed by your government without you having any legal recourse.

3. Why is it ok to boycott one totalitarian nation but wrong to boycott another?

This is where being sober helps. I never said it was wrong to boycott anyone. Boycott whomever you please! Even us! Jeeze!

Well so can Britons with Gun Control. As you say, "We have chosen these policies through our representatives. We can change them whenever we please" The majority want it and if they change their minds they can. No-one is forcing us.

I can say ANYTHING I want so long as I am not inciting others to commit crimes, so what is your problem? Do you even know what you are talking about?

You said it was wrong of me to criticise American policy on Cuba as why should Americans help a Government that helps keep people unfree. Well wise up buddy. You buy and use commodities from unfree people all the time so stop being all self-righteous.
