Correct, attack on free speech or something else?

Astute business decision?

Yes, it feels that way. It's not as if Littlejohn and the Mail don't have form so it's hardly a new issue.

Compared to Littlejohn's racist articles, that one is quite mild. It's Center Parc's money.

Indeed, which is why I think Rhiannon's right here.

I have taken a look at "Stop Funding Hate", I do find it interesting that it seems to concentrate more on the Wail, & Scums hatred of foreigners, rather than gays.

I think the racism gets more front pages in them than the homophobia

As regulars will know, I do have an interest in the racism, the Wail has this tendency to run articles slagging one particular ethnic minority one day, then run another with them as heroes/heroines the next.

I don't see how it can be considered an attack on free speech. Centre Parks (who should learn to spell) can advertise where they like.
