My "Comment" Policy

When sending me comments for publication on this blog, please note that I will not publish comments that are anonymous or otherwise hide the identity of the sender (at least an e-mail address or on-line blog identity must be supplied).

I will also not publish comments that promote fascism or such ideologies - e.g. contributions that are obviously from the BNP or their sympathisers. I have no wish to give space on my blog to those who propagate such obnoxious views that are an insult to our common humanity and seek to deny fundamental human rights to millions of people in the UK. Such views are also an insult to those millions who gave their lives in the battles against fascism in the past. Just as I would not give up space on my blog to those who might advocate compulsory euthanasia or paedophilia, I will not give space to fascists.
