    Sorry the Act of Settlement forbids it.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    But surely such a racist/chavinistic/imperialist/nazi act can not be allowed in a multi-faith, multi-cultural society as our own, can it? It's against the European Covention of Human Rights!
