Shocking audio of moment man opens fire on Copenhagen cafe - Video

Wait a minute wasnt David Cameron at the front of the line for that Paris rally in support of Charlie Hebdo not that long ago? Im pretty sure that we were all supposed to be on the same page when it comes to the whole free speech, satire is okay bandwagon. But if thats the case, why were the British police tracking down the people who bought copies of the magazine when they put out that record setting edition?

Several British police forces have questioned newsagents in an attempt to monitor sales of a special edition of Charlie Hebdo magazine following the Paris attacks, the Guardian has learned.

Officers in Wiltshire, Wales and Cheshire have approached retailers of the magazine, it has emerged, as concerns grew about why police were attempting to trace UK-based readers of the French satirical magazine.

Wiltshire police apologised on Monday after admitting that one of its officers had asked a newsagent to hand over the names of readers who bought a special survivors issue of the magazine published after its top staff were massacred in Paris last month.

The case in Corsham, Wiltshire, was thought to be an isolated incident but it has since emerged that Cheshire constabulary and Dyfed-Powys police have also approached newsagents over the sale of Charlie Hebdo.

In at least two cases in Wiltshire and in Presteigne, Wales officers have requested that newsagents hand over the names of customers who bought the magazine.

Thats a few too many cases to be written off as an isolated incident or some rogue police chief. And its seems far too stupid for a group of random individuals to have thought it up independently at the same time. This has the appearance of an orchestrated, fairly broad intelligence gathering operation. I actually first caught wind of this story at The Pundit Press, where the incredulity of other free speech advocates is reported and understandable.

This is so ridiculous as to be almost laughable, fumed Jodie Ginsberg, chief executive of a free expression campaign group. And it would be funny if it didnt reflect a more general worrying increase in abuse of police powers in invading privacy and stifling free speech in Britain.

Does possessing a legally published satirical magazine make people criminal suspects now? If so, I better confess that I too have a copy of Charlie Hebdo.

LONDON Police in Copenhagen killed a gunman early Sunday they believe was responsible for a pair of deadly attacks just hours earlier, the first at a cafe hosting a forum on free speech and the second outside a synagogue where a bar mitzvah was underway.

The killings, with their eerie echo of last months terrorist attacks in Paris, had sent Denmarks capital into lockdown and had prompted a massive manhunt that extended across the border into Sweden. In all, the attacks left two people dead and five police officers injured.

At a news conference on Sunday morning, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt said the country had been hit by terror.

We do not know the motive for the alleged perpetrators actions, but we know that there are forces that want to hurt Denmark, the prime minister said, adding that they wanted to stifle Denmarks freedom of speech.

Police said Sunday that they were confident that the man they fatally shot near a train station was the assailant in both attacks and that they had identified him using CCTV footage. Police were staking out a location associated with the suspect when a man approached and began shooting, prompting officers to return fire, a police official said.

The culprit that was shot by the police task force at Norreport station is the person behind both of these assassinations, Torben Molgaard Jensen, the chief police inspector, told reporters.

Survivors of the two attacks said they appeared to have been an attempt to mimic the Paris terrorist strikes, in which the staff of a satirical publication was massacred and four hostages were shot dead at a kosher supermarket.

The French ambassador to Denmark and a cartoonist previously targeted for depicting the prophet Muhammad were among those taking part in the debate at the cafe who survived the gunfire.

It was the same intention as Charlie Hebdo, except they didnt manage to get in, the French ambassador, Franois Zimeray, told the news service Agence France-Presse, referring to the Jan. 7 attack in Paris on the satirical newspaper. Intuitively, I would say there were at least 50 gunshots, and the police here are saying 200. Bullets went through the doors, and everyone threw themselves to the floor.

Danish police kill gunman believed behind 2 shootings

The debate surrounding thelimitationsof free speech has been a key issue of the last fewmonths, from Charlie Hebdo to Page 3, it has not been out of the news and campus censorship is a big part of that debate.

Anyone who works in student media will know campus censorship is a big issue. Traditionally student media has been an outlet to criticise the mistakes of Universities and their Unions. But recently there has been a myriad of accusationsof Unions and Universities censoring their papers.

But Southampton isnt on that list.

New research by Spiked has described Southampton as

A students union, university or institution that, as far as we are aware, places no restrictions on free speech and expression other than where such speech or expression is unlawful.

The research looked into the Universitys policys on free speech, external speaker policies, bullying and harassment policies, equal opportunities policies. As well as the Student Unions, no platform policies, safe space policies, and student codes of conduct.

Perhaps Southamptons disaffiliation with the NUS is to thank.The NUSs no platform policy means thatNUS events and NUS officers, can not voice extremists such as the British National Party and English Defence League. Hence in 2012, whenLeeds Student Paper, printed an interview with Nick Griffin. Aaron Kiely, the NUS Black Students Officer at the time, wrote an open letter demanding the Editor removed the interview immediately, on the grounds it was voicing fascism.Other NUS policies banned voicing Julie Bindel and George Galloway. It begs the question, where do the limitations lie? If were going to ban the BNP, should we ban UKIP too? If were not, should we voice ISIS too?

Prestigious Universities such as Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh,, Kings, Leeds, Leicester, Oxford, UCL, SOAS, and Leicester have ranked among the worst Universities on Spiked list, whereas local Universities such as Solent and Winchester have joined Southampton at the top. Only 20% ranked as well as Southampton, meaning 80% limit free speech on campus, interestingly Unions tend to limit free speech more than Universities.

The Sun was the most popular banned item, followed byRobin Thickes Blurred Lines, unruly sports teams. BDS (a pro-Palestine group) and pro-life groups were also common bans.

There are a number of restrictions placed on free speech under UK law, such as harassment, and incitement to violence but a lot of these bans do not effect these.
