Hi Registrar, did you manage to get a copy of the book I recommended, Flat Earth News?

Hi Puffin - waiting for it (Amazon ordered)

Hi Puffin - waiting for it (Amazon ordered)

It's a bl**dy good read.  Some media paper men were not happy with it, but then crooks and conmen don't like the world knowing what sh**s they are.   I recommend it whenever I can to anyone who wants to really get at the truth.

Tbh, I wish that PR's had been around when I was interviewed on TV and by the press to do with my being a pioneer woman engineer.     ... and one communist paper had me down as a leading Red.  Totally untrue and that damned paper hadn't even interviewed me.

In black and white, I shall for ever be named as a progressive torch bearing commie.

There are far worse things you could have been labelled with dear Sadie

Champagne Socialist springs to mind

Marx might just turn in his grave at Highgate at the mere thought

Personally, I don't give a toss for anyone's religion or political views, I only get miffed if people try and try and shove their views on me.  So if you are a commie, sadie, that doesn't make you a nasty person, does it?

I don't suppose that "citizen churnalists" requires an enormous leap of faith...

[sadie]

You mean a la Tony BL***?

Oh yes, at least the Commies are passionate and believe what they are saying!





As the decendent (I believe) of a well repected, by some, leading rebel I quite fancy that  ... but Nah, I am not a commie, and I dont like being labelled as such.

Excellent book Puffin and a real eye opener .

Here we go...

Thought provoking, Carana.  Thankyou

Says it all. 

When the peeps have realised their failings in their bullying of the Mccanns and if they can show the humility to acknowledge that ... we in our turn must forget our gripes and hatred of the way they have behaved

... and embrace them, as we have embraced Bren



The film illustrates just how easy it is to get sucked in

It takes a brave person to stand up and admit they were wrong all along.  Time for some peps to get their thinking caps on and their humanity back

Well done Carana
