The idea here is to engage U.S. officials in denouncing this action which is good for a number of reasons including preempting and discouraging what some "weenies" in this country want to do.

I think bornred has a point about national sovereignty. I hate the "international" code or law thing (other than that which affirms national sovereignty) that is slowly blurring national borders, language and culture. Bottom line - if the UK want to be stupid, that's up to them - they have that right just like our country does. Our protest should be to towards our officials to sanction against such policies.

Expecting the Brits to go along with our notion of First Amendment free speech rights is a tad bit silly.

You are spot-on with regard to national sovereignty.
