Thank you again for your contribution YUYUTSU...

The beauty of this Forum (actually it's Graham's Forum) it's more or less a democracy where we can all ventilate a our views and opinions without the risk of the 'thought police' kicking down our collective doors. I agree with the general thrust of your views it's just a few words that I disagree with, nothing else really? Thanks again.

They didn't quite breach the contempt of court rules, but the NSW AG intends to bring in a law to make it illegal to refuse to stand in court. Of course, we have to reminds ourselves that these blokes are idiots, their attempted flight to Syria being described as something out of Monty Python. Their buffoonery should necessarily suggest that your average Muslim would not stand in court.

Maybe they don't have a leg to stand on?

Sitting down would be more comfortable now than after they've had the pleasure of Big Bubba's company in the pokey.

Will the wringing hands apologists be excusing them as 'Just boys' and 'Discrimination made them do it'?
