"I personally know two people who are so far not coming to Knockholt due to clashing political opinion ."

Really? Clashing in what way? I'm sure there can be no *serious* cause for anyone to really take offence here? For my own part, I must say all that I've seen (on here anyway) has been a little brief minor disagreement, which has (or so it seemed) been jolly swiftly and amicably sorted out, and closed.

I rather understand Johns 'moment' of ill humour back there, as he has been personally targeted for public harassement by those who DO want to turn folk into a political tool, and rather than being intimidated by that harassement and wishing it just went away, he wishes to make a personal stand against it - which as I'm sure you'd agree, is quite as much his right to do so, as it is for anyone else who has no particular interest in the matter, not to do so?

I *really* don't want to sound rude at all here Pierre (and I'm smiling here, but internet doesn't always carry that well), but I didn't notice anything much being talked about politics on here, until you raised the matter yourself.. ;-) I do fully agree however, that this is not really the best place to discuss such matters, so back on topic: Hasn't the weather been spiffing today? Roll on bonfires and songs and silliness..! :-)
