LOL! And "free speech" (as in "you're removing our freedom to manipulate the opinions of the populace!") no doubt…

I'd better put something up. It's been awhile. Here's a band photo for our one-off reunion later this year at Exile Festival, Derbyshire :-)

do you have some quotable references and links for this- particularly the Badenoch quote, police visits and Christian (American?) lawyers? The latter I read are now campaigning in the UK :-(
Why do I always see things coming from the distant horizon, go on about it into the void while people share their dinner pics, then just suffer from fatigue when it all finally arrives and everyone's going "oh this, ah, this!"?
