Bald eagle Thank you for your comments.

While the nature of politics does sometimes lead to confrontational situations to be truly effective one must respect the right of other people to have differing views even if those views are abhorrent.

My personal exception to that rule is that I have very little time for those views and people which try to stop other people from expressing theirs own views.

Unfortunalty to some, any view other than their own narrow minded, blinkered, egocentric belief or ideaology means they are justified to deride and heap personal abuse of who ever it is who they disagree with.

Voilently agressive behaviour/communications such as those expressed elsewhere in this thread put the authors on the same level as the BNP.

Opinions such as JudeL offers a view point which while I might disagree with it, at least a rational debate can ensue.
