Read annotation | All by this user - Paul Mitchell: On a matter of personal taste, I'm somewhat concerned that the speech contains the names of websites that the MP implies publish pornographic images. In truth, I didn't know they existed until I... (2 December 2005)
Read annotation | All by this user - Ann Onymous: Thankyou for seting up the blog by the way. (1 December 2005)
Read annotation | All by this user - Paul Mitchell: Victor, It is a matter of personal taste. On this board I feel obliged to rein in my behaviour more than I feel I must on my own blog. The rules are different here because the purpose is different. (1 December 2005)
Read annotation | All by this user - Victor Wood: Paul Why would I want to get a load of bollocks from you? I am interested in what you as a person truly feel. Talking bollocks is what I get at work! (30 November 2005)

Read annotation | All by this user - Paul Mitchell: Victor, Stuart, Unfortunately, I have reached the point in this discussion where I can no longer guarantee that what I say will be truthful. In other words, I may start talking bollocks. I'm... (29 November 2005)
Read annotation | All by this user - Victor Wood: Paul, I'm not advocating more laws - as you rightly say, laws against this exist already. What I am saying is that I object to the way you expressed your opinion. You seemed to imply that... (28 November 2005)
