It's a comment for your yukky thread, AC, over on the other place.
I read in the press over the weekend that there has been a substanial rise in reported homophobic attacks over the past year, in the 'Mecca' that is Brighton.
Everyone's wondering whether it represents a real increase, or merely the upshot of improved methods of reporting. The policeman interviewed suggested a real increase, ruling out better reporting procedures alone.
Just a thought, AC, to dampen that "we are all good, tolerant modernists now" thing, you've got going on that thread.
anticant is the blogname of a lifelong free speech and civil rights campaigner. A lot of his life since WW2 has been taken up with battling against cruel and over-bossy laws, censorship, censoriousness, and Nanny Knows Best types. Now elderly and in poor health, anticant hopes his memories and thoughts will be of interest to those engaged in today's struggles for freedom, democracy, and a more hopeful tomorrow.
