As for Don Firth, his leaving has, I think, more to do with being unable to prevent justifiable criticism of his government's "violent, aggressive nastiness".

Not so. The justification is obvious.

Slamming me in my absence, Don T.? A bit cheesy, I calls it.

I'm still looking in from time to time. And I see that prejudice is still rife. Why am I not surprised?
