This month's feature article is 'A Free Country?' by James Heartfield

against individual freedom." Heartfield challenges the new fear of
freedom

"Politics with a capital P is passé. Politics with a thera-py is all
the
rage." Mick Hume condemns the contemporary view that we are
essentially
incompetent and irresponsible and need nursing and policing
