Taking Liberties

Welcome to Taking Liberties, which is part blog, part diary. Taking Liberties is closely allied to The Free Society blog which is turn is part of a new campaign by the smokers' lobby group Forest.

There are two reasons for naming the blog Taking Liberties. First, I am genuinely concerned that freedoms we have taken for granted are slowly being taken from us without proper debate. Second, the aim is to make this blog as entertaining as possible and if that means taking liberties in a more colloquial sense, so be it.

Feedback is positively encouraged so feel free to comment on anything that appears here. It's going to be an interesting journey so welcome aboard and enjoy the ride.
