Headlines That Don't Belong In The Western World

"Britain bans protests ahead of international environment summit"

...

I'm sorry, I could've sworn that said Great Britain, the birthplace of Locke, the home of the Magna Carta, the cradle of liberal human rights is banning protests. Gee, the article makes it clear that's exactly what's going on:
The British government Tuesday announced a four-day ban on demonstrations around the city of Derby in central England to limit expected protests at an international environment summit this week, officials said.
Boy. Thank god we live in Canada.
