What next discrimination claims from muggers etc,when councils close off some alley-ways.

Why do they even listen to these minority groups, in such absurd cases?

You know one day the Mail is going to go on strike and you just aren't going to know who to to be outgaged at.

I think you might burst

[jno]

so would you rather have them out in the open than behind the bushes? Tough call!

[keyplus90]

I would rather put wooden cabins there with universal keys and �50 an hr.

Pay as you Gooooooooooo

[R1Geezer]

Surely if they want to widen the circle of their friends they can do it at home. What's this obsession with hanging about the bushes anyway?

[keyplus90]

Geezer � I think it is same as no one brings his mistress home unless if they are in threesomes, most probably their partner would become jealous.

The story from the local paper.

jno, I'd rather them take their partners home than conduct what ought to be a personal and private matter in a public place.

It's not just the daily mail, I live in Bristol and this is the local paper.

Personal and Private matter in a public place, naomi?????????

It's damned right ILLEGAL.

[monkeyeyes]

............until they take it home where it becomes a 'personal and private matter', AOG............keep up !

[Gromit]

The Bristol Evening Post is owned by the same company as the Daily Mail, which accounts for the similarity of the reportage.

[lajohn]

in society today people chooses discrimination tactics to avoid working to solve the problems. cry discrimination and the law, government steps in. end of. they all full of bologna.

The report said: "As part of the consultation, concerns were expressed by the council's Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Group (and a small number of other consultants) that this action was potentially discriminating against gay and bisexual men, whose activities on this part of the Downs were objected to by other members of the local community and Downs users."

So the Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual group was one group who opposed.

A small number of other consultants .......

Even if that small number is 3, that means that the LGB group is only 25% of the objectioners ( a minority).

It is pretty apparent that there are a bigger majority of groups complaining - the sensationalist tabloids decide to look at just one of them.

Still, "Removal of shrubbery angers wildlife preservers" doesn't quite hold the same ring to it.

[webbo3]

Yeah, but they report LOCAL news, if this had happened elsewhere in the country it would'nt have been in the Bristol evening post, so you cant tar the mail(which I read) and the evening post with the same brush.

Take those monkey eyes out and replace them with human ones which operate better with the human brain cells.

It reads "What ought to be a personal and private matter in a public place".

See it a bit clearer now? Or is it a trip to Specsavers, or perhaps a brain transplant?

[monkeyeyes]

AOG, I know that you are hard of thinking, so I shall type this s-l-o-w-l-y and carefully.........noami wrote (my italics) jno, I'd rather them take their partners home than conduct what ought to be a personal and private matter in a public place.. thereby explaining (to those with a modicum of intelligence) that she would prefer that the men in question carryout whatever it is they wish to do, in a private setting rather than a public place.

Your outrage has caused you to misread, misinterpret or misunderstand noami's answer.........

Resorting to 'personal' insults based upon my user name is rather childish, I think............in addition to being rather silly. Are you silly, AOG ?

[naomi24]

AOG, We all know it's illegal in a public place, which is why, if it's going to happen, it OUGHT to happen in a private place. Got it?

[anotheoldgit]

Try and attempt to gloss it over as much as you like Vic

But the report said: "As part of the consultation, concerns were expressed by the council's Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Group. This is fact, regardless of whoever else expressed concerns.

The whole point was that they had the nerve to protest about work being carried out to prevent them from taking part in illegal pursuits.

[monkeyeyes]

Tsk.......tsk..........

..........not even an acknowledgement that you were wrong nor an apology for the name-calling............

.........sigh the old of today..........they have no respect y'know....manners ! That's what they need.........I blame the parents, personally............mumble, grumble, mutter
