Membership lists

Seems that there is a dilemma for the far right in the UK. Do they use an act they are against (Human Rights) in their search for a solution to their membership list being on the internet?
Anyway, I found this interesting.

.. Then We Take Berlin

Well, we do eventually. It’s a LONG drive for a game of football. Too far, in retrospect, but still fun. A couple of delays, a detour, a couple of stops and we arrive in Berlin to meet a traffic jam. The best bit is that this affords a great view of [...]
