I just find it weird that people can be so rabidly anti something when 
they can't really explain what it is beyond things I don't like. See 
also labelling something socialist, or even Marxist, when they don't 
even know what they are.

We even had our last government try and get in on the act when judges 
were ruling that a country doesn't just become classed as safe because 
the government say it is no more than they can pass a law that says the 
moon is made of cheese. That's not how laws work but that only cost 
£750mil so not a problem really.
