couldn't agree more tell UKIP Daily Mail the Tea Party Melanie Philips the BNP J T Rump Al De'esh V Putin Marie le Pen and their many friends to go and crawl back into their holes 'cos we are quite capable of being nasty to other people without their help or advice. |

Oh I have no problem with the campaign in so much as it's freedom of thought etc, and as far as Lego goes Who cares either way......but...if a group feels inclined to try to tell the unwashed masses how they should think shouldn't they at least be up front and say who is funding them ?? |

It seems that they don't have any major funders from some research I have done. |

I am not writing about who's wrong or who's right but it all goes to show everyone operates to his own agenda. |

I think stopping the hateful propaganda and outright lies can only be a good thing but that doesn't sell newspapers. |

Do not indulge in rancour or hatred. |

Of course it isn't. It's their job to carry bad news as well as good news. |

Whilst agreeing that emotive language does encourage extreme reactions, no newspaper is free from that 'sin'. They all have their own agendas. |

Det, if you click on the link Guinevere gives, it takes you to Richard Wilson - the author's - blog, and explains why he started the campaign. |

Yes, but the Huffungham article doesn't describe the Richard Wilson as an actor. It's not an uncommon name. |

I didn't say it was the actor. |

Then I apologise. Perhaps my mind assumed rather than my eyes read. |

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Hillary Clinton added a comment to this thread. |

Agreed the title was open to misunderstanding but not so much they were calling for their heads on spikes. To compare that to the Nazis is stupid. Most judges like most MP from all parties have no idea how the average person on the street feels. It didn't help their cause that the judges all seemed to have strong European connections. |

Judges don't need to know how the 'average' person feels - if there is such a thing as an average person. |
