Not having a bitch, just wondering? I know this thread has some close to the bone opinions but it's still a political debate.
Because the site is aimed at serving, or retired, Royal Marines who may wish to express political opinions. We also have 'guests' who are very welcome to ask about life in RM, rctment, trg, etc. Naturally, they may also want to express political, and other, opinions. But this is at the Moderators' discretion [at least, I hope it is]
What it's not for is recce missions by people with a political agenda - which is far removed from a political opinion.
I'd be interested to see the 'Joining Dates' of all those BNP supporters who seem to have arrived recently. In fact, I think I'll look 'em up myself!
