Rant Warning: Okay – I
Rant Warning: Okay - I was (a bit) wrong just now - there is an interesting(ish) item of election news. The ProLife Alliance have had their election broadcast refused an airing by the BBC on taste and decency grounds. The BBC think we (or specifically the people of Wales, where it was due to be aired) have a right not to have images of aborted foetuses broadcast into our homes while we're eating dinner. I think they're quite right - and I'd go further: I think we all have a right not to have the scaremongering ravings of (have you ever noticed this?) an almost-overwhelmingly male fringe with a grudge against women who dare to exercise control over their own bodies foist upon us at any time of the day or night. I'm all for sensible debate about any issue, including abortion, but hysteria and anger have no place in that.
PS - Check out the link to the story for a picture of their (female) candidate. How rabidly scary does she look? And their spokesman is called Bruno Quintavalle, which has to say something....
Sorry - getting a bit crazed and demob happy.
