I hope the good people over at Spanking England <\/a>wont mind me lifting this bit from one of their recent blog posts. As it says, not a lot to do with spanking but maybe quite a lot to do with free speach and expression.<\/p>\n

Quote ”<\/p>\n

When Margaret Thatcher came into power I was seven years old.\u00a0 When the election results were given I can clearly remember my Father stating that \u2018She would ruin this Country\u2019\u00a0 Did she?\u00a0 Perhaps,in all honesty I can say that I was not adversely affected.\u00a0 In fact,I was rather glad when she got rid of free school milk!\u00a0 I had never liked drinking from those nasty bottles<\/strong>.\u00a0 My brother and I proudly refused to pay our poll tax\u00a0 unbeknown to us my Mother who didn\u2019t want either of her kids to have a criminal record paid it for us and perhaps that is the point.\u00a0 We as a family were not adversely affected,but then we lived in Kent and were not dependent on industry.<\/p>\n

I do know that as an adult I did not and still do not agree with her policies or her polictics and I certainly don\u2019t think that our cash strapped country should be contirbuting to the funeral!\u00a0 \u00a0 Life for many under Thatcher was miserable and families particualy in the North suffered and some are still suffering the affects to this day.\u00a0 Some will argue that she made hard decisions that had to be made and they might be right.\u00a0 However,all these years later a lot of people still feel very bitter.\u00a0 In fact,bitter enought to ensure that their voice is heard.<\/strong>\u00a0 The BBC ummed and aahed about whether they should play the song which looks very likely to get to number one and fortunately good sense and \u2018Freedom of Speech\u2019has prevailed. \u00a0 I don\u2019t feel strongly enough to download the song and in some ways to believe it to be quite disrespectful,but that doesn\u2019t mean that I want it censured.\u00a0 We as \u2018Producers of Porn\u2019who some would rather call \u2018Disciples of the Devil\u2019face enough censorship already<\/strong>.\u00a0 Long live Freedom of Speech and RIP Margaret Thatcher who probably wouldn\u2019t have cared about this song anyway.<\/p>\n

What did that all have to do with Spanking?\u00a0 Nothing?\u00a0\u00a0 Apart from the Freedom of Speech bit. So without further ado I will stop subjecting you all to my somewhat (light weight) opinion and proceed with the reason that you are all here.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
