Agreed, he seems to be just an anti of anything he doesn't agree with and just intolerant of other peoples views and opinions.
I think the polite term to describe him is ‘progressive bigot.’

If they go ahead with it then presumably they will also cancel the car shows because they promote cars that do over 70mph?

I thought Newark was better. I actually bought guns at shows back then.

I liked Newark as well , Stoneleigh was ok if you didnt mind high prices for rubbish food, and the cow sheds left a bit to be desired !

I thought the show went downhill after John died, its just an indoor game fair now.

Plus I heard there were a few car breakins at the NEC , so I aint gonna go there .

I just remember Newark as being cold. Very cold.

Newark was cold and muddy.

Having said that, it was really really good.

It has gone downhill since Newark in my opinion. A lot of people are happy about Stoneleigh so hopefully it will stay around for some time.

I wonder if anyone from the BSS had the courage to go to the Council meeting in Liverpool tonight ?
