Do people take their dogs into the shops and supermarkets? Unless they have different shops and supermarkets in Liverpool to the ones in Sheffield then the answer is no because they have a blanket ban on dogs in supermarkets except assistance dogs. Tesco and Morrison's and ASDA and Sainsbury's all racists and bigots are they?

Ever visited anyone in hospital Fred? Allow you to take your dog in did they? All racists and bigots in hospitals are they?

Would you take your dog to a jazz or folk concert in the Philharmonic Hall? No, because there is a blanket ban on dogs except assistance dogs.

You leave your dog in the car when you go to your jazz club. Why? Because the dog is barred. People who own the premises racists and bigots are they Fred? Surprised you go through the door.

So let's stop the bullshit and look for a solution to the problem of dogs in festivals.

I have made two suggestions. A blanket ban on dogs at festival and a separate area for dog lovers.

So far you have offered to keep your dog on a lead.
