Council Censorship

It seems that if councils don't like what you say in your blogs some of the them will try and find ways to shut you down. That is what Argyll and Bute Council have done because a newspaper published a report based on a photograph and the content of a nine year olds blog, NeverSeconds, who reviews her school dinners in a blog.

Here is a young person starting a public debate about school meals with the support of her school and some officials at Argyll and Bute Council come and stamp on her right to free speech. It just shows you what this country is coming to. It is her food she bought it so she can photograph it.

The council are clearly out of order for censoring the school girls blog and effectively bullying her into to giving up something she enjoyed and got pleasure from. It was her fault that the press used material from her blog to write a story that may have upset some of their staff it was the newspaper itself.

My response was swift when I read the story on the BBC news site this morning, I emailed Argyll and Bute Council to complain and then moved my attention like many others too Twitter to fight her cause. Lets hope that Argyll and Bute Council and others around the country learn in unexpectable  to censor the people they represent because they don't like what they are saying.
