Good morning WyoWoman. Trust me, the overwhelming majority of people on this thread would wish it away but, there ya go, that's freedom of speech for ya! That and last-wordism ;-)

You say:- "Maybe someone over there would care to start a thread called "British intolerance to the political/cultural views of others".

Would it help if someone started a thread on "USA intolerance to the political/ cultural views of others"? In the spirit of inclusivity, would we start with Sarah Palin? The Montana militia people? Etc, etc but I am sure you get my drift. As you can see from this thread and others, people this side of the pond don't just shrug their shoulders, sweep it under the carpet and say: "Oh, you kids, honestly!"

And, honestly I am not trying to start another Tea Party!
