... of democracy, of civilisation, for without dissent in Britain we would have :
In Russia today there are the punk band Pussy Riot,and the object of their dissent is nothing more than the vertically challenged President (some say for life) Putin, a man who is unable to contemplate a democratic challenge.
In 16th century Italy there was Galileo Galilei, a dissenter who searched for truth through science, his adversary was the Roman Inquisition.
Whereas Galileo was persecuted because he had proven the Earth orbited our Sun, the Pussy Riot are being persecuted by the Russian political establishment because they will have no truck with the Putin regime.
What point life if you are unable to protest another man's politics ...........
- children chimney sweeps.
- children mine workers.
- children as young as 5 working
