Where to drink in Exeter
Well if ever you are in Exeter and your wondering where you can call in for a tidy pint and tidy company, it might be well worth giving the Cowick Barton public house in Cowick Lane, St Thomas a go.
Besides supporting local business you will also be showing support to the landlord Craig Frost who supports freedom of speech and democracy and is not afraid to say so.
Liberal Democrat Councillor, Rob Hannaford on discovering that the BNP had held meetings at the pub tried to get them stopped. However Mr Frost seems to have a different understanding of democracy to the illiberal councillor and made the following statement:
"I believe in a democratic society where everyone has their own point of view."And is standing by his decision to let Great Britain's only patriotic party continue to use his premises for their meetings of usually between 20 and 40 members.
Well needless to say this display of courage infuriated the crazed councillor who had probably just heard of the Ibstock and Heather by-election results in which his party crawled in last, who exploded with:
"I am appalled and disgusted that this extreme racist party is holding meetings in Exeter.And then to display his proud heritage of tolerance he explained how his grandfather was always proud of the fact that he had personally thrown two political opponents into a river during the 30's. This tolerance he speaks of must run in the family.
"There is no place for hatred or intolerance in our city.
Leaping right into insanity, he then accused the BNP of bombing Exeter during the 2nd World War and announced that he had alerted the Devon Race Equality Council and the Anti-Nazi League of the threat to the people of Exeter and calling on their support.
Well I do not know about the DREC but the aptly named ANL disbanded in 2004 and the remaining Socialist Workers Party members moved over to the Moslem and government funded UAF, run by Red Ken Livingstone and Lee Jasper.
Interesting thing about the Anti-Nazi League is that one of the founder members went by the name of Peter Hain. Then of course, he was a Young Liberal Leader and another lover of law and order. Which he proved by allegedly holding up a bank, associating with terrorists and digging up cricket grounds. Wonderfully tolerant these Liberals.
