The issue of rights and autonomy is too serious, too precious to give up, even in the face of imminent tragedy
Category: Uncategorized
This may be of limited interest but it does have a political angle. There’s a 10 part video doing the rounds called ‘Fall of the Cabal‘.

Out but not down
We’ll be back just as soon as people see what they voted for. Once they realise that the Gov’t objection to the ‘level playing field’ and the European Court of Justice was that they protected our rights.
