Nay bother, like I always say : If you're going to walk around carrying a sign that says "cunt" on it, make sure the typography is nice.

Far from it dude, I live and work on the south coast!
If you are referring to the "nay" in my "nay bother", it's an unfortunate habit left over from working with a northern bloke.

very nice typography chook, it's nice to know people still care... don't know if anyone attended nyc protests but the nyc police and national guard did one over on all us protesters by closing off key streets, parking the buses in locations to block off the flow of traffic, horses to push the people and basically using the crowd against itself by breaking the crowd into smaller groups as it is easier to arrest people, etc. and just keeping everything in disarray and eventually not allowing people to access the park, the head count was est. to be around 400k, but most people claim to have seen more people on Lexington and Park that were never able to get close because of high police presence... it was something short of a military state, i'm positive they did the exact same in washington, but i predict as war approaches the protests in the usa will become more chaotic...

Really. Why attack someone's policies directly when you can just call them a cunt? genius. If I had a nickle for everytime someone from the UK person used the word cunt I could buy an island and put you all on it, oh wait...you are on an island.

it's surprising how many people congratulated me on the banner, i was a bit paranoid at first, expecting abuse and a bit of anger, but 99% of people loved it, with only a some disapproving grimaces from middle aged headteachery types and feminists. i think the word 'cunt' is the last taboo word in the english language but is becoming more and more accepted. still, it was undoubtedly the only opportunity i will have in my life to walk the streets of london with a large placard calling the american president a cunt and get away with it!
