    Britain looks pretty open to honest debate from here.

    Critics are everywhere. Don't suffer fools. Welcome to the board !

    Lol! First off welcome to the board from another Brit - and count yourself lucky. No one played God Save the Queen for me when I joined long ago (when God was a little boy).

    BTW, where in the 'Old Dart' are you - my family home was in Sevenoaks, but we moved and I'm currently studying down under.

I just dont get the twisted narrative whereby so-called, self-proclaimed "experts" never answer a direct question. So, where are the direct truthful people who do not use PC and threats of "hate speech" to shut others down? This is why I joined this forum to. We will see. We do NOT have programmes in Britain which allow direct unchecked political discourse. Britain is totally controlled by PC and the threat of so-called "hate speech".

    Here a troll is someone who goes out of his/her way to upset people rather than engage in sincere discussion. I don't believe that Midcan was calling you a troll, just that fellow Tucker.
