That ‘yourfreedom.gov’ site in full…
Well, they say they want to hear what we want repealed, they say they want a “raucus debate”, they say all ideas are welcome. But what sits at the bottom of each and every sumitted idea?
Bloody muppets. In the UK the internet age appears to have absolutely *cemented* the idea that there are certain things you can and cannot say, can and cannot think. Nick, Cleggie me old mate, if you *want* free and unfettered debate, then just get rid of your fucking Mods!
UPDATE: It goes without saying that the site is barely useable, that half the functionality is crashing under load today, that it’s littered with exposed error messages and half baked basic coding errors.
UPDATE 2: Which brings up the obvious question – always close to the mind of a developer – “I wonder how much they paid….?”

I’m becoming an FOI junkie these days… mostly with regard to my local council
I’ll write something here on my current obsession – the spectacularly chaotic state of schooling in Macc – at some point, but right now I’m still in the middle of that fight….

Frank,
your expulsion from CiF coincided with a general malaise there; the two events in my mind are linked. And deleting all your historic posts, that was pure spite and theft from civic heritage. It was like the Taliban blowing up the Buddha statues.
My activity there dried up soon after, I rarely visit there now, not out of principle, but because the energy and spark had gone. They killed it.
I can recommend Zerohedge.com. It is an American site on Financial markets, but that is the topic of the day, and there is no noticeable censorship.
All the best to you & family.

Yo Frank. First of all, delighted to find you’re still around somewhere.
I too got banned off of Cif, mainly for disagreeing with people over issues you’re not allowed to disagree over and calling people names that I’ve been called myself a thousand times. One post that got deleted was for calling Peter Tatchell “Tatchell”, which I thought was quite kind considering he’s such an asshole.
But the YourFreedom site I recommend. I posted there frequenty myself. Although the current one in its present form is now closed, Cleggy wants to rekindle it in the future to use as a means for politicians to talk with the public. After all, as we are now in the internet age, it’s incredible this hasn’t happened already. (Well, not entirely surprising as NuLab’s police state relied on more furtive manipulation through the traditional media. The internet was NuLab’s bette noire. It was giving voice to people who can think.)
Best of luck.

That was a very well written and to the point comment. Well said, we need more people like you cutting through the propoganda, lies and erosion of our liberties.
