Springer questions asked in Parliament

December 15th, 2005 by Monitor

Lib Dem MP for Bath, Don Foster, has tabled an early day motion deploring the decision by Sainsbury and Woolworths to remove the JS:TO DVD from their shelves. He calls on the Government “to ensure that freedom of expression remains a central principle of our society”.

The motion complains

that vociferous minority pressure groups now increasingly target works of art with the outcome that the majority are sometimes denied the choice to judge works for themselves.

And it

calls on the Government to ensure that freedom of expression remains a central principle of our society, and so protect the ability of individuals to explore comprehensively and lawfully all aspects of our culture.

Can you hear that metallic noise? That’s the sound of Satan rattling his cage, that is. No, really.
