We are losing basic freedoms at an astonishing rate in this country. We are even listed by Amnesty International because we do not have the right of free speech. The right to free speech should be an absolute right.

All well and good, but as stated earlier Mr. Clarkson had a terrible tantrum when the Daily Mirror published a photograph of Clarkson kissing his female producer.
Piers Morgan probably saw it as a joke, though Clarkson didn't seem to get it, for some reason.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, or at least have a skin thicker than tissue paper, if they do.
