(There's a bunch of Canucks there too, trying to do the same thing) Some people's views on flogging etc. seem to be more in tune with the Taliban than with citizens of a proud democracy, one which is a model for the free world.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that under
'New Labour' we no longer live in a true democracy. B'Liar saw to that when he changed the political boundaries in order to give his party electoral advantage over anyone opposed to his views - and look at the predicament that we are now faced with as a result of the
'Red Flag Flyer's' excuciating policies!
