Mwahahaha. Remember, schadenfreude should be thoroughly enjoyed before policy analysis. It is good when people who professionally jeer at civil libertarians and cheer at heavy handed policing get a taste of poetic justice. This may have a chilling effect on free speech, but I doubt some mean bobbies will cause a rupture in over 100 years of boisterous British press history.
By the way, I was at the LibCon editorial meeting for this and this is an exact transcript:
Sunny Hundal: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Hopi Sen: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Sunny Hundal: Wrong! Don! What is best in life?
Don Paskini: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Sunny Hundal: That is good! That is good.
