You are comparing the UK to the US on some sort of freedom index with regards to how free the UK is?

If you have to have a license to own a TV you don't even have a frame of reference to answer the question.

End of discussion.

I'm sorry mate but as far as I see, America's freedom is seriously under attack. The moral thought-police are systematically 'purifying' your media. I mean, look at the crisis that exploded after Jackson's 'wardrobe malfunction'. The whole country was in paroxysms of fear and angst over a split-second image of a woman's breast. When I heard about that, alarm bells rang. Over here, we get to see that kind of stuff - and lots more - all the time. Doesn't it piss you off that a bunch of moralising morons are dictating what you can and cannot watch on TV?

Read the list, UK is the 7th freeest, the USA is the 13th.

You can't really argue with that, especially as it was compilled by such a fine organisation as The Heritage Foundation, of which Rush Limbaugh has said,

"Some of the finest conservative minds in America today do their work in The Heritage Foundation"
