] Date Posted: 23:10:37 11/04/04 Thu In reply to: Paddy (Scotland) 's message, "I agree" on 22:02:57 11/03/04 Wed Most people in Britain did support the war, albeit by a slender majority. Even know, after Abu Ghraib, the beheading of that poor Bigley fellow, and the controvertial deployment of our troops in the US Zone, the polls indicate that barely 50% of British people think that the war was a bad idea - and this at the lowest point of popularity for the Neo-Con global agenda. As for the size of the Anti-War protest in London, I believe that the Anti-Foxhunting Ban Protest in London was in fact our largest ever demonstration - and about 70% of people want to see foxhunting made illegal. THis shows, surely, that you can not guage public opinion by measuring the decibels of protest groups. Silent majorities and all that.

Date Posted: 23:22:30 11/04/04 Thu The probably hired the same rent-a-mob for every demonstration in the country... I'm watching "Question Time" just now, and the look of consternation on the faces of the hand-wringing liberals in the light of Bush's win is quite entertaining. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:32:34 11/04/04 Thu I may not like being an expat... deprived of bangers and mash, buying things with Euros, getting flooded and snowed upon, etc. etc., but one thing which I will never miss is bloody Question Time. I saw today's Mirror headline online: "How can 59,987,563 people be so dumb?" Given that this number is earily close to the British population, I'm inclined to think that, from the evidence of Question Time, they may have been refering to the UK, and not to the Americans who voted for Dubya.

Date Posted: 23:36:20 11/04/04 Thu I believe that the combined readership of the Independent, Guardian and Mirror is less than that of the Telegraph alone. There is, perhaps, hope for us yet... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:43:16 11/04/04 Thu lol - I was wondering if they might try and increase their circulation in the fish'n'chip shops? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 23:47:32 11/04/04 Thu I understand that new regulations forbid the use of newspapers to wrap fish and chips, becuase of the potential health risks accruing from the contamination of food by the ink. I think that this is not a Euro-bonkers law, but is home-grown lunacy. Speaking of fish and chips, though, a British friend of mine lives in Seattle, and when she gets desperate she drives over the Canadian border where there are fish 'n' chip places rather than hot-dog stalls. Isn't that marvellous? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 02:03:35 11/07/04 Sun You have an odd friend. Although I feel the same way sometimes. But there are plenty of Irish/ British pubs in Seattle if you just look. Not to mention the one or two Irish/ British stores where you can buy aero bars, flakes, sausages and all that good stuff. Although since the mad cow disease, i'm not sure if they still carry sauages. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 02:08:17 11/07/04 Sun Hm. How can mad cow disease affect pork sausages? And many of my friends are odder than you might think! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
