Hi Wayne,

I haven't actually unsubbed yet.

Some may think it misguided, but I think that whenever one encounters  
ill-informed small-mindedness it should be engaged with and  
challenged. I can't help it if certain parties here find that  
irritating.

I'd like to apologise to Paul Perrin for putting words in his mouth.  
He didn't call Blair Peach "an intolerant twat", he called the Anti- 
Nazi League "intolerant twats". Paul -- I'm sorry. However, if you  
think that the police are innocent of his murder, perhaps you need to  
ask yourself why they paid compensation to his girlfriend for his  
death. Also, and it pains me to have to explain this to you, if you  
think that just because a judge and jury have declared the police  
innocent, they are, you must be exceptionally dim.

My remark that BNM was a 'boring and embarrassing waste of time'  
wasn't intended as an insult to anyone in particular. However, I do  
find the snotty insouciance that often characterises some of the  
discussions here about quite serious matters both naive and tedious.  
But that's just me, and it probably means that I ought to find better  
things to do with my spare time.

I read the article below recently and it made me think of BNM a bit:

best regards,
