Pakistan: 'Bastion of freedom'

Re: Pakistan: ‘Bastion of freedom’

I ran into three working-class Britons, sitting in a foul mood outside a café across the road from Rose and Jasmine Garden where their camp site was. One of them approached me, and pointed an accusing finger at my person.

He hissed: “We worked hard and saved money for this holiday. We could have gone anywhere. But we chose Pakistan. You know why, mate? Because of its ganja. Now we are here and we have no ganja!”

Freedom - even to get stoned - is not a commodity that can be taken for granted.
