Caulfield, your posting should be printed and displayed in every crew room round the land and we should have flyers with the same printed on them which we can dish out to "security" personnel and others.
I am of the opinion that Britain is now a "police state". As I recently walked through immigration at a municipal airport in the UK I will not mention one of the passengers in the queue happened to innocently take a flash photograph of his group. This was immediately followed by some stasi looking official marching up to said passenger and reading the riot act to him. My thoughts were "Welcome to England"! My father used to refer to the Union Jack as the "Land of the Free", I am sure he and many others who fought so valiantly in two world wars must be turning in their graves when they see was has happened to "Great" Britain.
I keep saying it but what we now need is a (peaceful, hopefully) revolution - enough is enough!
