Nasty trait, jealousy.[/QUOTE
Presumably, you are all too ready to forget his post that prompted my outburst- sadly typical of the double standards that you have showed this afternoon, when you now denounce others, having begun on a moral pedestal about intolerance . .
Denouncing others? Do you hear yourself?The only reply you could muster to his post was a childish, "yeah well you own two houses so there"
Hypocrisy isn't your forte is it?

Precisely. Will kill it. But then people don't want to pay for news anymore and journalists still need to eat, damn them! It's an industry not long for our world and the consequences are really quite frightening. George Orwell was no fool!

I'm not ploughing through 400odd posts - has anybody posted the Voltaire quote yet?

I slightly disagree,the news will always get through,the quality and impartial bit is probably where the risk lays
If it does not,then the highlighted bit would be and state run media is the domain of ironically, mainly far left countries.

Bourgeoise! What ever happened to having a Harp and liking it...?
I'm going for a Rum - neighbours bought a bottle of Bounty back from St Lucia for us and it's lovely with a ginger beer on a dark, damp autumn eve 
Nothing at all. Rothaus, Augustiner, Berliner Berg, Schopperbrau, Heidenpeters and BRLO are all favourites but I like variety and the UK does some damn fine beers.

It's what filter it gets through that's the problem. If it's through a publication that's owned by a non Dom who pays zero tax in the U.K. And has a vested interest in destracting your average honest person away from the real concerns in society by exploiting a humanitarian crisis then whilst there is news there may be little truth.

Enjoy. Sunday Autumn/Winter nights are brilliant for cracking open some decent booze.

But what if news is so deliberately spun as to foster a culture of constant confusion over what is true? That's where we're heading, as control of media becomes more concentrated in part because readers no long have attention spans nor want to pay for. It's far cheaper and easier than ever in the digital age to reach and shape/control opinions.

So trying to stop certain evils is bad because there are other, worse ones to worry about?
Is that actually your point?!
Surely you can see it might be more helpful opposing the bloke wandering around a neighbourhood with a flamethrower than the geezer with a box of matches?
For other examples see 'Anti fascist' groups who prefer to confront a few BNP, EDL types but are strangely absent when extremist islamists gather to vent their poison or Stop the War who only seem interested in pacifism when the west is the perceived aggressor.
See above .. more likely selective, hypocritical, left leaning hypocrisy.

You could say that about anything - this year it may seem to some to be a good idea to be out of the EU, in five years who knows?

I agree and i agree with [MENTION=14225]AWAYDAY[/MENTION] it's happened over the many centuries too,now we all know the atrocities that happened in WW2,it was documented by video,however it makes you wonder how many so called truths in the past were lies,repeated enough times to become the absolute truth,on any matter....i digress slightly

In 5 years it might seem a bad idea,but us Leavers know that 25 years and beyond is when the real fruits are ripe for picking...
As an Island nation we would die out,were it not for the occasional visitor & inward migrator,mass migration including freedom of movement will see us become another Easter Island.

Yes indeed, especially when combined with the Soul music show on Radio Suffolk. Perfect Sunday evening (No Alan Partridge jokes; he is Radio Norfolk

It is a free country it is their choice what they campaign against.
As mentioned before there is absolutely nothing stopping you starting a campaign group against puritanical wahhabism.
If you don't like it, ignore them.
