And Ian has me summed up pretty well - I am no friend of the monarchy, of god, or of privilege in any form, I support free speech to the extent that I would not try to prevent even exteme idiots like holocaust deniers or Islamist extremists, or fundamentalist Christians, telling us what they think - I believe that only by listening to idiocy and extreme political and superstitious views can you be aware of them and take steps to nullify any threat they pose. Let them condemn themselves out of their own mouths.
