Yo!

Looks like I've missed a full & frank exchange of opinion over the weekend....what a shame..I also missed the rugby as well. Judging from what I have just read I'm not sure which as been the greater battle and who has taken the biggest hits.

Let me just make a few observations:

1) I think I'm right in saying that the "forum" has divided between the funnies and the serious mob, with the former being accused - possibly rightly - of  of executing audacious raids into Serious territory from their heavily protected Anything Goes homeland.

2) But it's really no surprise, is it - certainly from my experiance. When pertinent questions have been asked by those who are prepared to think critically and challenge the the goody-goody norm- i.e. questioning priorities in the local education budget or disagreeing with attempts to curtail the local Formula 1 racing fraternity, then those questions have simply been blanked out.

3) Well, we're not all goodie-goodies ready to kow-tow and pander to the Accrington testament of political correctness. Some of us think a little bit radically and are prepared to back our arguments with critical discourse and occaisionally a sense of humour...something found , by the way in debate in democratic insitutions such as the House of Commons.

3) To those on here who would be happier attending the 12th Party Congress of the Peoples Rebublic of North Korea, I say fine...enjoy your fun your way. But those of us...Happyone, Mik.D, myself...we'll continue to be the Winston Smiths of this world...we won't submit to the heavy hand of injustice & the big paintbrush of censorship....we shall continue, by whatever means are neccessary....

WE FIGHT ON!
