It will only take them getting a Tory (Republican) government in to start the slide on similar protesting restrictions. And both minorities are sure to be impacted here in Britain as numerous politicians happy to stoke that culture war. --- Let's make biscuits! <cite>Funkydog posted [p:973243901] in UK finally...
