I am outraged at this - if my employer want to control my life, determine what i write in my own free time, then i suggest that they make with the reddies - cos the only way that ANY company will ever tell me what to say and what not to say is if I become a spokesperson of that company. How much do celebs get to 'endorse' products and companies. Yeah.. Bring on a slice of that action.
In protest i have ceased all trading with Waterstones until they respond with some form of statement justifying their position.
I urge all lovers of freedom to do the same. We need to send a message quickly to companies that freedom is important - the best way we can all do that is to refuse to buy products that are sold or produced in an environment of fear.
