patentdragonOne Week To Go...
Arrrrrrgggghhhh....! *cowers in the corner*
Meanwhile... there's apparently going to be some kind of freedom of speech rally in London this weekend - and some Muslim "global civility" march at the same time. Collision course! Ramming speed!
The blog for the FoS rally is quite hilarious, as people flame and troll like mad - will they be exchanging phone numbers to arrange a "vigorous socio-political debate", I wonder - and the writer of the blog deletes comments, whilst at the same time giving a list of "authorised" banners. Not exactly practicing what they preach, methinks.
Banners I like:
"Blasphemy is a victimless crime"
"Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having." -- Lord Justice Sedley
"My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular." - Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.
or how about this one (my own):
"Leave me alone and I'll leave YOU alone - okay?"
