No freedom of thought allowed in the pre referendum debate.

What happened when John Longworth, the director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) spoke his mind and told the BCC's annual conference on Thursday that the UK's long-term prospects could be "brighter" outside the EU?

Lauded for bringing an additional view to the table?  Er, no.  He was suspended according to the Financial Times.

Seems anyone who wants to express a not unreasonable view given in cautious terms is not allowed to speak anymore.  

So much for a free open debate.
