Back from a long hiatus, it's nice to see the discussions are still as interesting as ever! With regard to the topic at hand, one small reminder to all - the idea of being able to disagree with the government was one of THE big reasons we split from Europe in the first place.

They come from darkness and to darkness they shall sent
Remember What Winston Said The cowards attack from hiding, the civilized and innocent to hurt. Their faces hidden, shadowed smirks while we view the results, so grim. But they shall not triumph over good people brave and true as Churchil said, "We Shall Never Surrender Unto the Likes of you.&qu...
