Awful boozer, ridiculously over-priced, strange choice, glad I never attended!

No government, no taxes, and a people's militia!

Fully concur, MM. Enjoying a drink outside the NFT a few weeks back, my daughter and I had to conceal our drinks from the eagle-eyed gaze of two para-military, Council troopers, as they swept the riverside, taking no prisoners and rejecting all reasoned arguments from theatre and film afficionados alike. Yet another example of the excesses of the State of control?

The other thread has nothing to do with this; why are you writing so freely about top secret matters? Are you suffering from shell-shock, Soldier-Man? "Loose lips sink ships" 'n' all that type of tosh.

Empire - Michael Hardt & Antonio Negri. Difficult, interesting and thought-provoking. Political, philosophical, historical, cultural and economic arguments aplenty. Challenge yourself!

Where do I recommend "wholesale class retribution" and is hypocrite too small a word for me, or is hypocrisy too small a word for it? > Whilst you make many points that have value, the > merit is lost in the spittle, bluster and > contradictions. Which contradictions? And "spittle and bluster"!? Rich words indeed coming from an individual who paints a hyperbolic picture of a dystopic '70s Britain in tones of: "society was being held to ransom by a phalanx of extremist unelected tyrants controlling a mob without conscience; the despotism of under educated violent thugs in the hinterlands;Had the unions had their way, the UK would now resemble the polluted industrial wastelands and blighted lives of Eastern Europe."
