Just ran across this. Still, and elsewhere, relevant.
After all, the great characteristic of this country is that it is a free country, and by a free country I mean a country where people are allowed, so long as they do not hurt their neighbours, to do as they like. I do not mean a country where six men may make five men do exactly as they like. That is not my notion of freedom.
—Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 1883, then Leader of the Opposition, later Prime Minister of Britain
