    And all because I was wearing a sweater with a few metallic threads running across the front. I almost missed the flight before they figured out what was causing the alarm.

    ‘If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.’ – George Orwell

    It is my experience that there is always someone out there who will tell you, “You can’t say that!” So… I went looking for another quote.

    ‘What is needed is the right to print what one believes to be true, without having to fear bullying or blackmail from any side.’

    The “Orwell” quote belongs to Alexander Butcher, winner of the Orwell Youth Prize 2016, years 12 and 13. His essay can be found on the Orwell Foundation site.

    No stretch too far … had to laugh (or was it to groan) in spite of myself.
