mLine 16:
Line 16: − − == Freedom of Speech == − − To what does the fifth point (regarding the idea that it is impossible to criticise certain people here) refer? If it's the idea that you can't criticise the Queen, it's incorrect. I can criticise her all I like; in fact, the Royal Family has a history of not suing for libel or slander, so my criticisms don't have to be true. Over the years she has been accused of plotting to kill Princess Diana, to being a shape-shifting Reptilian from another planet. I can criticise absolutely anybody I like. [[User:WRanford|WRanford]] 19:03, 28 September 2010 (EDT) − :And while I'm here, I should point out that there has been freedom of speech in Britain since 1689. Nobody would claim to have "invented" it. Rights are not objects like the lightbulb which one day becomes an extant thing; they are concepts and develop over time. Ancient Greece had some semblance of freedom of speech, and the early classical liberals who wrote on freedom of speech were British and French.

Andy, Efficiency isn't the point at issue with the National Health Service. Not even the most patriotic Brit would claim the NHS is particularly efficient. What they value is its scope: everyone has access to health care at the point of need. I'm not going to change what you wrote because you get so defensive when anyone makes alterations to your writing. But you might want to reflect and choose a more appropriate phrase.
