I didn't see anyone exactly marching in the streets about it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689297995853131102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-12864141871488718262010-03-15T09:03:47.968+00:002010-03-15T09:03:47.968+00:00The furore surrounding Maggie Atkinson's comme...The furore surrounding Maggie Atkinson's comments has been shameful as well.
