There was no evidence that they actually caused anyone to be harmed.

As long ago as that? No comment here though, as I have not seen the cartoon. E-mail me a copy if you want my opinion.

Your freedom is under threat!!

It is. And the further we get embroiled in this the harder it will be to extricate ourselves.
We may have come too far already.

To do so could be breaking the law. You could complain ... and where would I be?

You're correct Bob,our freedom is under threat,from the EU.

Trust me

Anyway - no complaint would stand up to examination if the recipient requested the material knowing the nature of its content.

I don't dance to Mr Butcher's tune ... that's for sure.
Was he a prison officer in a former life because he just loves locking up.

He has just locked another thread.

There are others on this forum less tolerant. Need I mention names?

Generally Anthony locks threads for a valid reason - not sure about the latest though.

Anthony Butcher · 10-03-2005, 12:05 PM

They get locked at the point when it ceases to be about any particular topic and just about combative posting.

If you desperately want it reopened, I can do so.

Then why have several others complained on the "Locked Topics" thread? I give him no reason to do so.
He appears to have a bee in his bonnet about me.
Again, he should be reminded that ALL of this is in the public domain and he does his own cause no good by acting in this arbitrary way ... lashing out like some Eastern potentate.
When he has been asked by others, he does not give a clear reason other than something about "getting silly".
Who is getting silly now?

No worries. If I ever get desperate I'll be sure to let you know, heheh!

Robert, the forum is not here for your personal exercises in pedantry, moaning and anti-UKIP propaganda. If you stick to the topics in hand then they don't get locked. Instead of complaining, perhaps you would consider improving the quality of the debate instead?

The forum clearly states that "The UK Independence Forum is an unofficial bulletin board for anyone who supports the general goals of the UK Independence Party and other anti-EU parties". You don't fall INTO phpbb_that category, so you shouldn't really be posting here at all. If you don't like the rules, feel free to reserve your posting to Stormfront.
