Comment is Free

They get a fair number of people from the green ink brigade posting in the comments boxes. Now they've broken out onto the main page.

For balance, here's a link to the admirable Dan Hardie.

Thanks for the post. Just to add detail: the best way to hurt this disgusting man Clark- and it will hurt him- is to write to your MP and request a change in policy. Links are below.

As a blogger, it would be great if you'd put a post up asking your readers to do that, and then put a second post up (yes, I know I'm asking a helluva lot) giving the MPs' replies. So far every single letter written has led to MPs contacting the relevant Ministries: Defence, Foreign Office and above all the Home Office. This could work.

Talking points for a letter to MPs can be found on my site:
