		<description>Will do Roger. I&#039;ll happily donate to a different cancer charity - such as McMillan, but I&#039;m afraid that (as a committed vegan) I don&#039;t give money to charities that fund experimentation on animals.</description>

		<description>No problem perhaps you can return the favor if I finally get fit enough to run a marathon for cancer research ?

Either way just email me an address or phone number and I&#039;ll arrange a donation, it&#039;s good to see anyone who physically does something thats beyond them normally for charity and the sense of achievement after an event is a great reward in itself.</description>

		<description>Yes Steve he is and has made the request to a number of people in different threads for example http://www.salfordadvertiser.co.uk/news/c/1087942_students_wish_you_a_very_happy_nude_year_

Richard has also made a few very thinly vailed threats to people he terms as &quot;enemy&#039;s&quot; on his own blog and on Mole&#039;s and as a result it&#039;s of a slight concern that he keeps wanting to know where people apposed to him live!

I&#039;m actually quite happy to show up and drop off some sponsorship money for your forthcoming event (probably a weekend though) Steve and then perhaps you&#039;d be good enough to confirm that I&#039;m a person and not part of some huge anti Carvath conspiracy  (probably jointly funded by gay rights, feminists, muslims and pro abortionists who are in league with the pro Sex and the City &quot;pornographers&quot; who secretly rule the world and have banded together in fear of Richard!)</description>

		<description>Look - this is my blog and I&#039;m pretty tolerant of comments all told (though no longer where the BNP are concerned) - but this debate is only tangentially linked with the post I made and has turned rather nasty. As it happens I share many of the concerns about your positions outlined above Richard and I for one would welcome you answering them - but on your own blog and not in the comments section of mine.

Finally, I hardly think that someone who provides their name and an email address (visible to me) is anonymous! The people who try to post here under multiple names, or with made up email addresses or pseudonyms are anonymous - Roger is not (or are you after a photo and address?).</description>

		<description>There&#039;s no point even attempting to reason with the anonymous fool above.  It&#039;s a very similar scenario to the recent occasions in which Steve Cooke has been targeted here on his blog by BNP activists writing the most outrageous and wacky crap about him and the Lib Dems.  Inaccuracies... where would one begin?!!</description>

		<description>So again a generalized whinge that your being picked on but your unable to point out a single inaccuracy in my points above, simply because they&#039;re all your views. 
Yes they sound terrible when they are repeated one after another but thats because they are pretty bloody extreme for the vast majority of the population.
If there&#039;s an inaccuracy then point it out Richard otherwise stop throwing your toys out and crying that your being picked on.</description>

		<description>No impartial jury in the land would agree with RB&#039;s portrayal of me as being either fair or accurate.

RB makes even Lord Haw Haw and Doctor Goebbels cringe!

The last month has been quite an eyeopener.  Although I&#039;ve yet to get any significant mainstream media coverage in the context of being a PPC for Salford and Eccles, for the first time I&#039;ve been confronted by an organised anti-me campaign on the web from the likes of RB.

I have no objection to identifiable political opponents giving their opinion of me in a resonable manner - and using genuine and contextualised quotes to do so - even if it is very harsh, but that&#039;s not by and large what has happened.

What&#039;s going on is anonymous persons are going round publishing stuff about me that is well beyond the pale, including making claims about me which are unquestionably false and completely making up some &#039;quotes&#039;!</description>

		<description>In a nutshell then Richard the above are all publicly available comments of yours that you can&#039;t disagree with on a single point but for some reason you don&#039;t like them repeated , now I wonder why that could be ???</description>
