Brit Rock 29th January 2011

Imagine the scene, I'm having a private conversation, someone hears what I'm saying and they dislike it. So rather than face me and tell me they don't like what I'm saying in this private conversation (which would risk them being told to mind their own business) they go to a national newspaper (which is staffed by tabloid journalists, who are the lowest of the low) who then run the conversation. Everyone suddenly has an opinion of my private thoughts, which results in me losing my job. Crazy idea? It happened this week at Sky Sports. I thought freedom of speech was a wonderful thing to be cherished. Beware of the thought police because one day they could be coming for you.
