When it is a bunch of leftie clowns running about entertaining Che Guevara fantasies, the the state should let them get on with it.</I><BR/><BR/>Hardly and hardly.

In short: protect the rule of law against the excesses of the police (who in our democracy, seem to be a bigger threat than the clowns - which tells you what a nice, safe little country we are). It's an entirely consistent position.<BR/><BR/>I will however admit to crimes against the English language. It's a dreadful post, where I struggled with trying to fit in too much. It could have done with a good day or two to think about and polish it. But then, this is the blogosphere, and my timetable really doesn't allow that.Idiot/Savanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993069909613708957noreply@blogger.com
