This blog is not on the subject of mental illness, but on
freedom.
As a writer I value the freedom of speech, the freedom of
expression, freedom full stop.
The death of the innocent twelve from Charlie Hebdo in Paris
on 7th January 2015 and the policewoman on 8th January
2015 have shaken the Western world. But,
in true spirit, the West have united by standing tall, holding hands and expressing
our rights. The cartoons drawn in the
wake of the attacks demonstrated this.
The satirical cartoons were both humorous and heart-breaking.
I do not draw cartoons (I cannot draw at all), but I can
write. And no radical will ever take
away my freedom, they can never take away our freedom.
