"The losers are the millions of people who believe the government exists to protect us from foreign enemies and criminals, not to prohibit ideas, words or images that might offend. The winners? That unholy alliance of Islamists and leftists who want to use the state to impose their dogmas on everyone else." -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Couldn't agree more, sinkov, so many people are scared to say what they think because they may offend someone and, like BT, have the bizzies knocking on their door.

Well it seems unfortunately that the cuts to winter fuel allowance and the proposed smoking ban in pub gardens have done nothing to deter the boatloads of largely unaccompanied males setting off from the French coast.

I'm not at all sure even he knows what's going on in his mind Sir Outwood. It is inconceivable to imagine a Labour government flying under a Socialist flag would cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for us oldies.

The persecution of Robbie Tomlinson has been a warning to the English: Shut up.

Not to me. I don't even know who he is and certainlyo have no idea or interest in what he may or may not have done. He is just another name amongst many which the media peddle and I have no interest in them at all.

[Robus]

You know of him but a slightly different name, which cannot be spoken here.
