He's currently receiving accolades from his sycophants on his FB page after standing up in defence of his sport when it came under criticism. Very noble of him.
Funny how things work out when you decide to launch unfounded criticism of others, and a couple of weeks later find yourself on the receiving end of sweeping generalisations, criticism and buzzwords such as "sniper", "canned hunt" and other nasty buzzwords.
He's still an arsehole, no matter what he does. He's not my spokesman and never will be.

I bet he'd also think Magna Carta outdated too then? Or the concept of Habeus Corpus? What a prick he is at that.

I bet the only paperwork he takes an active interest in is his expenses form.
"Make it out to 'Cash'"

Is that how's he's paid by the dwindling number of publications that he writes for? Lord knows no US or most UK publications hire him now.

This. I've emailed my MP several times in the last few months and I've even received somewhat decent responses from him. I hate having to do this but honestly, this sort of action is what's now neccesary, not even to have any hope of reversing the law, but just to keep ahold of what we're clinging to right now.

Actually he would be right if he thought the Magna Carta is outdated. It is.
Whilst it did explore wider political reform it only applied to the King, Barons and the Church. It was superseded by the 1297 Magna Carta which introduced a number of clauses which later all but sections 1 (freedom of the church), 9 (freedom of the City of London) and 29 (right to due process) had been repealed or superseded.

A springboards a springboard though Fedaykin. Right to due process is certainly not outdated is what I meant to say. I wouldn't mind be a freeman of london and being able to herd Geese, just to see how people would react.
