This is a link to a copy of the article Mr Page wrote for the Mail on
Sunday, it is an interesting article, his views on the "thought police"
don't seem to be far off the mark (to me) even though I have very
different political views than the man in question.

So did I. As I only currently represent myself I don't have to be
careful what I say in this forum! Although I am open to offers;)

Agree with Brenda and that's why when inducting staff I always say if
you don't want to look silly "don't write it down".....

Unless posters say a few words about the contents of a link they will be
lost - unless it is Friday pm and they are about to go home. It will
also be lost if one does a search in the Archive.
Doreen will, no doubt, respond that it was just a throwaway thing.
In fact, the BBC link below indicates that "however, Mr Page has
obtained a police file on him through the Data Protection Act and is
unhappy with some of its contents".
The report suggests that he is on a "homophobic incidents register". I
think his complaint is probably more than about him being fed to the
crocodiles - which would really make him look rather silly.
