In any event the ban was lifted in 1960. Why? Obviously at the time it was written,morals and views on ( public) sexuality were somewhat different to today,as I said , banned under the obscene publications act,..other than that you will obviously fill the void,and I was aware that the ban was lifted when I was a mere 6 year old..and no never read it

My personal opinion was that the moral was less about sexuality and as much about class. The idea that a working class Gardner would be deemed attractive to an "upper class" woman to be incomprehensible.

So now Russia has produced a book aimed school going persons of 15 - 18 years encouraging them to enlist in the fight against Ukraine, giving distorted views of the actual situation and just WHO invaded who!!.. no surprises there ..just how low can you get, sending kids into a mindless and pathetic situation for one mans fantasy Just try, for context, the loonies banning books in the States. Has not happened here yet, as long as we can keep Reform Party at bay. For chrissakes Oldie. Can't you change the record! What on earth as the Reform Party and their policies got to do with banning books? Why do you come out with this nonsense?

"Make Britain Great Again" is the strap line is it not? Look at what the "Make America Great Again" nut jobs have been doing, or trying to do, in the US. Two sides of the same coin.

I am stating an opinion that Reform is the equivalent of MAGA in the USA. It is not a false equivalence. As showed, they even share the same strap line. In the USA over the last couple of years removing books from libraries and school curriculum has become rampant, at least until the current push back. As I said, forewarned is forearmed. Am I waiting now for the Tories to ban themselves from Government after one of their members and leading donors said "she makes me hate all black women and should be shot". Extremist language if ever I have heard it. Even on here we have members advocating public hangings and castration. Those that did said they will vote Reform.

Sorry, but in your deluded desperation to throw excretia at the Reform Party you are losing the plot. You are now trying to divert to 'Tories' and 'Racism'. "In the USA over the last couple of years removing books from libraries and school curriculum has become rampant" - and just who has been in charge over "the last couple of years"? and just what has that got to do with the Reform Party? You are spreading falsehoods and lies. Now you are trying to link anyone who say they will vote for the Reform Party as racists! Why do you do it?

You are spreading falsehoods and lies. Now you are trying to link anyone who say they will vote for the Reform Party as racists! Why do you do it? You may not know this education management is devolved down to the individual States and is funded by local Real Estate Taxes. Where there has been book banning, such as in Florida this was driven by the Governor and or local county boards. It is not down to the White House. How many times do I have to say it, Reform are the British equivalent of MAGA. "Let's Make Britain Great Again" = MAGA "Let's get our country back" = MAGA "Stop Immigration" = MAGA I could go on, but if I am wrong show us where Reform have not said that, show us where the MAGA fruit cakes have not said that. As for the Tory jibe, absolutely. Reform will boost their numbers as disaffected Tories who do not agree that Lee Anderson's remarks about Khan are racist and Islamaphobic, who thought the Tory donor (£10M) comment that he hates black women and Abbott should be shot was "funny". Personally I hope this happens because we can then flush out these lunatics who crawl around in the weeds away from the spotlight and make them justify their positions and comments. I am reminded of the equally dubious Mr Farage, the MAGA enthusiast, who in referendums and elections past claimed that Londoners were "uncomfortable" with foreign languages and accents on London Underground Trains. He was asked if his wife dares speak on trains, because she is German. 😂😂😂 Just another simplistic wannabe nationalist who is clueless, but makes a good story for the media. Now we have Richard Tice. It is going to be comedy gold

Sorry, but where is your proof that the Reform Party will 'ban books'? You've made it up and it's a downright lie.
Your attempts to mix the Reform Party with MAGA is another piece of nonsense. The Reform Party are a legal political party. MAGA is just a saying.
You are the one constantly shouting about "facts", so let's hear your "Facts" about the Reform Party and book banning. Put up or shut up please.

No, I'm not getting desperate Oldie but just pointing out the inaccuracies in your postings. Methinks a bit of English Comprehension is missing. Did you study Trigonometry? If so, place Reform talk / Policies on one page, on the the opposite page place Republican Maga talk / policies. Then overlay them. You get this "Congruence of triangles: Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure. These triangles can be slides, rotated, flipped and turned to be looked identical. If repositioned, they coincide with each other." There you go. Try and think outside of prescribed tramlines, you might enjoy the light. For some on here though there is no hope (not you)

You castigate others on this forum for voicing their opinions and you try to belittle them when you dismiss their opinions and demand facts. Now you have voiced an opinion without any verifiable facts to back it up. You can't have one rule for yourself and another rule for others. May I suggest you refrain from dismissing the opinions of others yet you expect everyone to take your opinion as gospel.

You challenged and I was justifying "equivalence" It is, you know it, I know it and as for others who on this little forum stated they will vote Reform their lack of ability has nothing to do with me, more about their own abilities. Reform is probably an appropriate place for them. Sad, it probably means that people of my views have lost the argument, but there is no accounting for those that will not see
