I don't think we're at that stage of a society just yet, but best to err on caution?
Thanks for your concern, however I'm fully aware of how forums work and this place has NEVER had a real IP or working email addy of mine
I STILL stand by what I wrote, why the heck should the police be allowed to illegaly beat the crap out of people and not expect those people to fight back.

That is what I like to see, a man with conviction and conjones.

It makes a change from the lily livered whimps that are around.

Well, let´s hope it stays that way.

If the worst comes to the worst, and you find yourself banged up, I will bake you a cake.

I won´t bother putting a file in it, you will be able to use the cake to smash your way out, as cake making is not my forte.

For those of you who don't watch Spanish news, the official stance from the chief of police is basically it was the periodistas faults for not wearing jackets that identified them as journalists! So in short, once again the government is justifying the needless, unnecessary, aggressive & violent abuse from the policia nacional towards people for no reason other than not wearing a "press" jacket!? The journalists have denounced these acts as have the www.osce.org.

"TORONTO, 1 April 2014 – OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja Mijatović today expressed today deep concern about the violence and intimidation by police against journalists covering the demonstrations which took place in Madrid on Saturday 29 March 2014."

I do watch it, in fact I saw the scenes today of the cameramen being violently bashed to bits with batons, it gives me less respect for the Police than I have already.

I can't watch it all the time though, usually a Wednesday and a Friday or Monday as it (Spanish news) is so repetitive, That Suarez thing, did it not go on and on, I suppose the same if not worse could have been said for Maggie, but if your not going to give a national holiday then please change the record.

So obviously everyone else is fair game to have their skulls smashed in.

I'm sure Franco would be proud of them.
