HOW lucky we are to be protected by such a fine body as the Community Solidarity Stroud District against free speech and democracy as voiced by Katie Hopkins.

I am only sorry that I was unable to attend her gig at the Star Inn but all credit to the landlord of the establishment for making it possible, in the light of censorship by my guardians of free speech.

What beggars the question is if the banner opposing her, that states she is 'irrelevant', why stop we poor ill-informed masses outside the message of truth known only to the favoured few in boycotting her performance?
