The following amendment has been removed again and again by the Government from recent legislation. Happily the House of Lords has managed to keep it in:<br /><br /><i>For the avoidance of doubt, the discussion or criticism of sexual conduct or practices or the urging of persons to refrain from or modify such conduct or practices shall not be taken of itself to be threatening or intended to stir up hatred.</i><br /><br />How can anyone, who believes in free-speech object to that? Apparently, even Peter Tatchell supports this free-speech clause. But not this Government, because, as you say, it is important for them, that anyone who disagrees with them, not be allowed to get a word in edgeways. That's why we've been denied a referendum on Lisbon and a General Election on Gordon.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407051721186824991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-10349963564185270822009-11-13T10:26:47.926+00:002009-11-13T10:26:47.926+00:00I didn't listen, I've heard it all before....I didn't listen, I've heard it all before.<br />I think if I was the interviewer and the interviewee didn't answer any questions, I'd say somthing like "Clearly you are determined not to answer any of my questions, and thus it is pointless continuing with this interview.

May I add...I had precisely the same observations. <br /><br />May I add that IEDs have been used by the Taliban in Afghanistan for many years. It is not a recent change of tactic by the Taliban. Hence the availability of helicopters is so important. <br /><br />Why was the ambit of the interview so narrow? Gordon has visited Afghanistan so he can the issues intimately. (This does make the Government's penny-pinching so disgraceful.) His replies were designed to spin out an interview short on content. You probably shared the rest of my thoughts from here.measuredhttp://twitter.com/measurednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-85333969804216393882009-11-13T09:48:58.773+00:002009-11-13T09:48:58.773+00:00Ah ha.

The Legend of Brown being a "man of substance" is maintained because most people simply phasing out whenever he speaks. When he's finished, the listener hasn't got a clue what the Prime Minister said.<br /><br />He's very difficult to listen to. As you say, tractor stat mode, long highly qualified sentences, the incessant monotone... I guess there are people out there that think 'boring and incomprehensible' must mean 'very very intelligent' or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
