I don't believe for a moment that I have ever said "that the truth can be covered up if you think it leads to worst outcomes." I suspect that to be another of the gross misrepresentations you are so extraordinarily fond of.

That there are times when our security forces, or other public officials like the Police, may suppress stories if to release them would be against the public interest is obvious. D notices still exist.

So sometimes the truth can be withheld by some people if to release would not be wise.

The right to free speech is not absolute. Every right has to be exercised responsibly and lawfully. Without the law there is no freedom. Only anarchy.

That you categorise people by your own standards always says so much more about you then ever it does about them. Being thought "disingenuous" by you seems like a compliment to me. Whether any of the posters here would see themselves as "progressive left" is an open question which only they can answer. Your opinion, or mine, is irrelevant. As a traditional, one nation, conservative I see similar values to mine in all the major political parties.

Which is why we desperately need a new centrist party to represent those views which I firmly believe is the majority opinion in the UK. The right and left are just the noisest.

That I believe that the census ought not to ask questions about a person's skin colour doesn't mean it has an agenda. It means I disagree with the question.

No wonder Wisbech is always on here. His dog is bored of him and his self righteousness and blanks him. Accepts a walk and then fecks off as soon as the front door is opened back home.

You are condemned by your own words. Read what I wrote again. Carefully!

I didn't say the same thing. You simply assumed I did and then, via your assertion, misrepresented me. You do this constantly. Not just to me but in many of your posts. You seem blissfully unaware of this and, like your soon to depart hero in the USA, are convinced that whatever enters your head must be true.

Because skin colour doesn’t matter? I agree. So stop footballers completing a gesture entirely based on skin colour.

Depends what you regard as tourist attractions! There aren't many that would appear on most bucket lists.

The only tourists I ever encountered in Wisbech were trying to find where Tony Martin lived in Emneth Hungate. Peckover House is nice though. I quite enjoyed a stroll through the gardens. Which took 10 mins!

The guy who supports blm, kneeing and pandering to minorities didn't even know about the Clarkson slavery memorial representing William Wilberforce and Granville Sharp. Both prominent figures in the campaign against the slave trade....standing right there next to the town's high street for 130 years...near Peckover house too.

And to think he even had a business there for 12 years

Yeah, that's about right, shows how genuine it all is.

The protest has nothing to do with skin colour though does it?

That people assume it does is a large part of this problem.

The protest is about discrimination. In this case because of attitudes about skin colour.

It's the discrimination and the attitudes which are causing the protests.

Specsavers are still open.

Maybe you need an appointment!
