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...

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... Yes, of course people have the right to protest BUT if they break the law then they should be prosecuted. We seem to agree on that then. It is also blindingly obvious to most, that unless a protest is effective, then it's wasted and likely to create the reverse effect. Your contention that 'most people would not want the establishment next door' is simply ungrounded. I could well argue that only a violently voiciferous (from their communications) poorly educated (from their demonstrable written debating) element would agree with that. Personally? There are many other noisome ventures I'd not want next door. That includes busy pubs, late service takeaway food shops, people running their own business and using their home as a depot, business premises with garish signage and or illumination. Etc.etc. So, I wholly agree, if is clear that there will be a significant increase in traffic and parking problems that is certainly worthy of protest. Can you imagine what people would think if I protested against a proposed busy pub venture in the manner suggested here?

If scum don't even put there name to "letters" and then proceed to be islamophobic then a big bonfire should be in order. I would not want pc plod though spending stupid amounts of money trying to track down the said culprits of this "hate crime". Most likely they are either uneducated kids or drunk racists. I would "hope" that WBC got involved properly with this and granted the rights to build such a said establishment in an undeveloped area where the religious could do what need to in peace without interfering with non believers who want to park.😉

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?

If you don't agree with me you are thick. Its a bit sad really. And in other news sleeping beauty is to be banned... As you guessed it the Prince did not obtain permission before kissing her. Sex pest.
