Beats me, but they sure give themselve a lot of lattitude. The worst or best thing is they don't understand anything about anything, heard about cases where they wanted to know who 'ed' was when they heard an e-mail adress(@), such idiots can do that to you

They are turning the country into a massive Millennium Dome - a bland mess which has the main quality of not offending anyone anywhere.

In a way it's funny but then you realise it is also pretty terrifying. In 1697, Thomas Aitkenhead became the last man to be sent to the gallows for blasphemy in Britain, for denying the authority of the scripture and the Lorship of Jesus Christ.

In 2010, you go to jail for burning the Koran.

I'm almost speechless, but not quite. What the...
