Let's hold a referendum on it. (Of course it is the Left that constantly try to close down other opinions.) As for the BBC not being biased: - “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” [Orwell 1984] Edited by georgenorman (24 Mar 2023 1.05pm) We don't hold referendums. We hold elections. Then the representatives we choose take the decisions on our behalf. It's a much better, and safer, way of running a country. Political extremes of all sorts tend to close down other opinions. Right wing dictators do it just as much as the left does. The BBC is not a Party. The Tories are and a faction within it, supported by their press baron friends, are indeed telling us to reject the evidence of our own eyes and ears. I truly hope it is their last, attempted, command.

ah, ok. I am just trying to grapple with some of the opinions you express on here. no drugs then ? did you ever work on a building Site ? and get clunked on the head, really hard, by a metal bucket swinging from a crane ? Look, and if the answer is 'yes' you will have my sympathy and i will buy you a pint at the next HOL meet-up. Sorry to disappoint, but I was a suit and tie worker, so never got close to swinging buckets. I swigged a few buckets of beer during my time though, so would be happy to accept your offer, if that counts!

Any UK referendum is only ever legally consultative. If Parliament decided to ignore it, they could. Whether they would survive at the next GE is another question. I believe them to be a huge mistake. They throw vital decisions to the winds of chance and into the laps of the Gods in Fleet Street.

I agree that parliament could ignore the result of a referendum, but that does not mean "we don't hold referendums" as you said.

With the recent discussion here about the behaviour of cake bakers, when asked to make cakes for others, this article offers an idea that such people could usefully employ as a more positive way of demonstrating their Christian beliefs. It also is an idea that maybe the good people of Barrow, and elsewhere, could keep in mind should Mr Yaxley-Lennon ever decide to visit them again to promote his ideas:-

They'd have yer bl**dy eye out if one hit you The first time I was given a piece of Cornish heavy cake, baked by a lady from the Lizard, I couldn't believe how solid it was. It's well-named! But its taste is wonderful. Other cakes are available!
