//totally improportionate fear of a couple of jokers//

A couple of joker's, eh runner? So, what, arson is just a light-hearted childish prank now?

I don't reckon you'd be saying that if some c$%t set fire to your house, runner.

And another thing...

//actually if you bothered to read the posts Toni you would see that my post was in response to Foxy's//

Really? Then why did you start it with a quote from my post from 6:00:10 this morning, followed by this:

Senility is a bitch, eh runner?

It appears that perhaps Toni Lavis has commented on my point without addressing it.

"Was Blair Cottrill actually convicted of any physically violent crime in relation to politics? You know a political act where something more than someones feelings were hurt."

The arson appears to be related to the breakdown with a personal relationship. I don't think I've heard of Cottrel being convicted with a physically violent act in a "political" context.

You could argue that a violent criminal charge in any context and at any time invalidates the person in any political context (I wouldn't).

It reminds me of the- ridiculous to me- concept of the Israeli's refusing discussions with the Palistinian's without a cease fire.

In some juresdictions "those IN gaol" can't vote but they can still state their case- to those that value their opinion.

Anyway Toni Lavis appears to have got himself somewhat bothered over Cottrel- I'm not sure that he can validate the number of claims he has brought against him.

To be fair it's not just Toni Lavis with these views but I've found them sparsely sourced.

But none of Toni Lavis' comments have convinced me that Cottrel is a danger to anyone but previous girl friends- and even this appears to be only in relation to a single relationship. I suspect he would acknowledge that he let his emotions get the better of him- and I suspect he has learned to manage his emotions better since.

Having seen some very unfortunate relationship breakdowns I can understand his reaction without necessarily supporting his behavior in the case. He has paid for his emotions by his time in gaol- I wouldn't imagine it was a pleasant experience.

Many other people are also concerned about the African gangs issue- I say kudos to Cottrel for being brave enough to hold a rally in this regard- at least he is acting on his belief unlike the vast majority that complain but do nothing.

Civic duty is something that we have lost we should get it back

//Civic duty is something that we have lost we should get it back//

I sincerely hope that you never on the receiving end of Cottrell or is ilk's 'civic duty', CM. I think you'd find it somewhat less vicariously enjoyable when it's you copping the beating or having your property damaged.

I have had my property damaged on multiple occasions but by those on the other side from Cottrel. Kudos to Cottrel.

So then CM you support the actions of the extreme with your "Kudos to Cottrel" Blair Cottrell is a despicable extremists who is not worthy of support of any kind. Here is a bit of recent reading which I found interesting.
