If anyone has any William books printed since about 2001, I'd very much like a read of them to see if I can spot any alterations. (Not because I haven't owned copies for damn near fifteen years and now am missing them immensely, oh no...)I remember this one, but I think that most of us knew that is was a parable.Guardian said:One story that has been omitted is William and the Nasties, a racist 1935 yarn in which the Outlaws emulate Hitler by persecuting Mr Isaacs, a stingy, hook-nosed Jewish sweet shop owner.
He's done some real in-depth research here, then?Chaim Simons said:There are many Englishmen who have never seen a Jew and they picture one as some sort of “weird†creature with horns?

I know someone who boycotts a particular shop because the owner is a counciller for a party he doesn't like (other than the BNP which would be more understandable) so, although personally I've always held the belief that there's room for opposing political views in a democracy, I'm cautious about revealing my colours just in case people might feel a similar reaction to my own beliefs.gk141054 said:I can understand what you are saying Goldilox, I know people who would say "oh you don't want to vote for them long haired, stinky greens, trying to ban cars and eating beef" but then people like that are stupid anyway. I think people should be proud of who they vote for, TBH I can see a lot of sense in what the Greens are all about..
Congratulations to Mark. I'm sure he'll do a magnificent job.gk141054 said:Close call....
