Anyone fgeeling strongly enough about the Observer Article (A different issue to the forthcoming TV "documentary") is advised to visit this website and read carefully the information contained within
http://www.pcc.org.uk/index2.html
Should they then feel they have good cause - they should follow the very clear instructions given.
After airing, should anyone feel strongly enough to take action I advocate this website
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/
And repeat the process - read as much as you can - carefully. Make sure you understand it and where your complaint is founded..... and possibly go along this avenue.

Hope this is a constructive contribution. I wasn't there - But I spoke with John Sweeney by phone - After Beltring - He taped our call - I declined an interview. He was keen to come to my house to film me..... and get my views..... Probably thought he'd be visiting NSDAPUK central not a nice semi with flowers in the fireplace. Would have been nice to disappoint him wouldn't it?
Saddened to hear people in drink may have let us down...... They usually do. I know...... it will probably blow over..... it usually does...... knife crime is becoming a hot topic.....
Are you saying Dishmop edits the Observer? Surely not!Heinz wrote:PCC is the way to go. It does work.
Funnily enough, I had a letter published in the Independent 4 years ago, after I wrote in about a defamatory article. The Editor couldn't have been more helpful.
The response from the Editor in this case is a microcosm of the whole Guardian/Observer mentality.
In short, the guy is a cock.

To be fair he does have a point, we can't wear this stuff without the general poulus thinking we believe, so to get married wearing the gear would "look" to the outside world that you agree with it (the regime that is). I'm not saying were all "nazi's" or that you or your wife are, I'm just saying that it must have looked that way to anyone who isn't an axis reenactor. Lets face it on another topic (topic:Warning... from Steve Kellher) were told that WW2 allied re-enactors all think were nazi's and associate ourselves with autrosities so if people who attend and know us think that, how can we expect middle class Observer reading idiots to think any different.
Me personnal opinion is I can't see the harm in getting "wed" how YOU want to, isn't that what the war was fought over, freedom?
