There could be the argument that all this talk about the rights of policemen to belong to organisations is null and void because being non-prejudiced is a prerequisite for the job. Hasn?t it been a long standing tenant that you are a policeman first and a ?whatever your religion is? second? So you could argue that in order to be a policeman you have to be able to prove that you will approach any given situation representing the law. Therefore if you hold any beliefs, be they political or religious, which compromise this you, do not fit the job description.

Sorry. Where?

were?

Anyway you would have thought that after thousands of years of using the stuff people would have figured out that it?s a stupid idea to build an entire house out of it.

Yeah but Bon Jovi?s like way old ya?know. From the ?80s innit.

Therein lies the entire problem with the BNP. They actively support an actual ?repatriation? process. At which point does that stop being freedom of thought and become hate speech against legitimate citizens of the country? This is why we have courts though and for now they are legal so I suppose we have to respect their right to existance if not their ideology.

Was that a reference to Modesty Blaise the comic strip or the theme song by Bon Jovi to the film Young Guns?

One the best things to happen to England in a while as well.

A plane ticket to England.

I don?t know if the legality of that rule has been tested yet PGC. It may be an internal police policy that will fall down when put in front of a court. Or it may have already been tested by a court in which case I doubt the judge would have ruled it legal without sound reasoning not based on the obvious emotive issues. Anyone got any knowledge on this?

While I like the new Mag I have to say that I seem to go there a lot less now than I used to. The reason being that the old Mag was the only place I could go on the way home from work when there was cricket or perhaps a rugby match on, stop in and have a few pints and a pizza for my tea. The new Mag is the kind of place my wife and I will go for some lunch on a Sunday or dinner during the week when we don?t want to cook. For this kind of thing it is just 1 in a plethora of choices. Inside 72 was special and I?m just glad we had our time together while it lasted. It was the closest thing I could get to my student days in this suburban malaise of moribund, mania and middleclass, mediocrity.

Paving over their front gardens. It's tantamount to sparracide.

I know the Romans discovered quicklime (the first quick setting cement) but I?m pretty sure the Egyptians built the pyramids.

Ps. Don?t kill Strawbs with sticks. I like Strawbs.

Yes, I had forgotten about the, kill them with sticks, option.* *Warning: Killing people with sticks may be damaging to their health and/or your social life.

I think the prefered term is anti-revisionist. And who is to say that a hardline adherence to Marxist and Leninist principles within the USSR is not relevant in 21st century East Dulwich?

I suppose then the thing for locals to do would be a) Make sure it never gets knocked down. Which would be a bit spiteful but serve the owner right. or b) Get the land rezoned so that they can?t build flats on it.

That was essentially my initial question. Is this information legally confidential in the first place? The legality of the intention behind publicising it may come up though.

Not just erodes. Completely obliterates. It negates the concept of innocent until proven guilty which is a fundamental principle of British law.

What about the legality of publishing something like this though? Is private information held by an organisation (regardless of how tasteless its ideas are.) protected or not?

Only a coward takes out their frustrations on those who they know they can bully. A lot of us put up with highly stressful situations at work where we?re hassled unnecessarily, threatened or have to put up with people trying their luck and being dishonest. Granted we all have our grumpy moment but in general you don?t take it out on the decent people around you. It especial doesn?t mean that you use it as an excuse to take things out on those who you know won?t fight back. Yes some people do, do this but quite frankly that makes them just as abusive as the people who attacked them.

Keef sorry don?t mean to sound like we?re telling you off or anything. That was not my intention.

Respect your elders. They?ve earned it. So what if once or twice they get the time wrong or even, god forbid, push their luck. It's not our place to be indignant about it. Let?s be honest. Our self important careers all the, meetings, budgets and targets that the buses take us to every day are, in the grand scheme of things, all just so much twonk. Respect for the elderly always has and always will have real value in a society.

I know I really shouldn?t be laughing at that but I am.
