His is such an easy jibe to use and one used by so many dickheads that have no in-depth knowledge of this history. Will it ever end? Probably not.

As an advocate of zero censorship (for the simple premise that who has the right to censor others?] I am of course expressing a contrary view re all this. I guess I’m not advocating censorship for this misguided politician and have no logical alternative to come to terms with the fact that zero censorship must inevitable leave the door open for all views – however dim-witted. Ho hum. On the other hand, the last person who called me a Nazi face-to-face was as a consequence a visitor to A&E. I found this to be a thoroughly satisfying experience. Bit of a last resort though I have to say.

Sometimes rational argument really is insufficient! Sad - but true, in my experience anyway.

I guess if Buddhists had been leading our WWII government then I and people like me would have ended up either as lampshades or soap.

Hmm – seems like I’m feeling uncharacteristically passionate about something. Wonder how long it’ll last.

Lord Monkton needs a lesson in Goodwin's Law and how it makes any argument look desparate.

Looks like an act of desperation to me... when you've lost the argument start name calling. Either that or a 'jolly good wheeze' to entertain the home crowd. I wonder if he'll meet the same fate as John Gaunt when he tried a similar thing (doubtful I know :rolleyes:)

It's actually a solar system phenomenon. NASA has documented huge changes in the system of surrounding planets. Mars' ice caps are disappearing, 2500% increase in auroral brightness (energy) on Venus, 40% increase in Neptunes' atmosphere brightness, 200% brightness increase in Jupiters plasma clouds. The list goes on. Each of them entail massive atmospheric changes to the planets.

Any of this made the news? Of course not. It's plasma TV's! :doh:

Give someone a Phd, then a shed load of grants to research a subject, they then go off doing tests and research and wot not, 5 years later they tell you the sky's falling, when in reality they haven't got a freekin clue, just like the rest of us. keeps em off the unemployment lists for a while though:lolsign:
