Oh, this is sweet. I only just now read it, but three weeks ago, Will Hutton wrote a column in the Guardian on the abuse of freedom as a concept, in particula with regard to countryside campaigners claiming “Liberty to hunt”:
“[…] they pass a threshold which in practice and theory represents real constitutional and substantive liberty: you only have to think of the struggles against apartheid or communism to know what real liberty means. The idea that hunting with dogs ranks alongside such values is laughable, but because those championing the cause think it does they arrogate themselves the right to civil disobedience and disruption.”
