 In Germany, a lot of people were rather shocked about last week’s news of the British government cracking down on the Guardian to have them destroy their Snowden hard drives. That seemed to be a full-blown attack on the freedom of the press, perhaps even more so than the arrest of David Miranda the day before. Some commentators have even compared the case to our own Spiegel affair back in the 60s. Do you think there is reason for concern as to the state of freedom of the press in the UK? Gavin Phillipson, constitutional lawyer from Durham, explains why the government is more afraid of the press in the UK than the press of the government.
