university student Paul Saville was confronted by four members of Britain's new breed of petty minded police officers after writing in chalk on a pavement, "Liberty: the right to question. The right to ask: 'Are we free?"'

Now he may be a twit for a) getting caught, b) getting caught twice and c) winding the fuzz up, but the civil liberties lot are going to have a field day if the CPS are dumb enough to carry this case forward.

They're missing a " in their second paragraph. They do it again later on.

How many people are now going to go out and write

Liberty. The right to question it. The right to ask: "Are we free?"

on the pavement in chalk? I know that I'm tempted.

They are not missing a ". You don't need to end a quote with one if you immediately follow with another quote.
