    I'd go with abrasive rather than foul to describe Spooner. He had a very strong self belief plus sense of justice and the type of person who would be classed as a major asset in a battle against tptb.

    They still can't make up their minds. Looks like a whole lot of opposition everywhere.

    There's a growing perception that huge, multi-national corporations want the TPPA (and other similar arrangements), and that they are prepared to throw the GDP of medium sized countries around in order to get it through. That kind of money buys a LOT of votes.

    The public, by and large, don't want it and are lobbying politicians to vote against it, or at least ask very probing and direct questions that the corporations would much rather weren't answered.

    Still... Governments aren't really known for listening to their electorate. Anyone for a new flag?

    I'm sure they do, How many times have you heard a politician say "That's a very good question, I'm glad you asked that".

    To all those that rant on about conspiracy theorists in regards to the TPPA, I trust you can all breathe with your heads stuck in the sand.

    Did you read the draft? What, specifically in there do you have a problem with?
