I would remind you all that saying THIS:
“Freedom and tolerance extend both ways.

So, the islamofascists are free to promulgate their misogynistic, mediaeval, murderous and intolerant religion.
I am equally free to publicly state that, since there isn’t a god at all, Mahmud made it all up, when he wasn’t perfoming paedophile acts …..”

Gets you permanently BANNED from the Guardian, for being … “is clearly racist”.

And no, I’m not making this up, and I can produce the correspondence.

One wonders who exactly threatened the Bishop – the BNP types seem to have far more to gain from it. Are the Islamists really that stupid? Don’t answer that.

As far as the website is concerned – it’s just a blog, how many people read it anyway? Alexa rating is 3.8 million. And my LiveJournal gets more comments! It’s easy to think that these blogs speak for all catholics or are some sort of official organisation, but it may just be some random blog.

The more worrying thing is just how much Mediawatch are lobbying this thing. I know from their petition to criminalise possession of “extreme” and hardcore porn, even though I could find little publicity on the web, the numbers quickly shot up. Sadly they seem to have established distribution lists to publicise such things, and I fear they’ll get lots of do-gooder prudes writing to their MPs. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to take much for this Government to think they have “public support”…

Make the BBFC more accountable to Parliament?

Or make the BBFC more accountable to Tory MPs, the Daily Mail and Mediawatch UK?

Go figure.
