I'm glad someone brought up "bollox": there is certainly enough being spouted on this particular subject from one side and the hang em high to let's pretend it doesn't happen in my area/community to last us for a long while.
It's a subject always sure of a "good" response from both ends of the spectrum. I wouldn't say that anyone is right or wrong to have their particular points of view but I dare say that when this subject eventually blows itself out on this forum, nothing anyone has said from one side to the other will have changed anything one jot.
And as the person equating himself/herself with a certain Mr Pierpoint, well, as someone that me and my family knew socially (and professionally for me): he was always the consumate gentleman and professional and given the context of your flippant reference: I doubt you would be fit to lace his boots.
