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.
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."
