Surely any anonymous response should have been dropped straight in the bin without even reading it? As for the others, they should have been published, with full details, just like any other, hiding them is not the answer. Only defamatory or otherwise considered illegal communications should have been withheld and those put before the Courts. I see this not necessarily an indictment against our society, more a significant failure in our education system, where we now have significant numbers unable to express themselves, let alone think, in a reasonable manner

People have the right to protest as long as it is legal. Protesting that the area does not have enough parking is not in any way a bad thing. I would suggest to you as well that most people would not want the establishment next door to them because it would be busy and noisy. Would you? And be honest...

People find the strangest things to get upset about, point in question, headteachers have been told not to call female pupils 'girls' or 'ladies' as it might cause anxiety. Seriously?

It looks like the forum yobs have a hangover! 😋 At least it had the decency to tell the reader it was pseudo science, just to avoid confusion amongst the rest of the flat earth society and liberal readership.

Pseudoscience is the missuse of science, the article appears to be simple satire and fiction, perhaps as a retaliation by right-wingers being accused of lacking certain skills others take for granted.
