Sorry, but I fail to see how some laws which have actively encouraged positive discrimination and acted as a barrier to freedom of speech as now any minority group can claim protection under the equality laws from freedom of offence has anything to do with public spending cuts.

Despite a surge in online support for political alternatives to President Hosni Mubarak, 82, who has been in power since 1981, even ardent supporters acknowledge that online activism in Egypt cannot deliver change without action on the streets.
