Default Re: Poetry reading cancelled to appease religious fundamentalists

Jones' site has the following to say:
Patrick went down to meet with people who had come along for the reading- not a single protestor was visible!

The British Humanist Society,The Welsh Academi, The National Secular Society, BBC Wales, The Western Mail are all following the story and BBC Wales Radio will host a debate between Patrick and Stephen Green (Director of Christian Voice) tomorrow on Radio Wales at 740am. The reading tour will go ahead and the book still be sold.

If you feel strongly about this abuse of freedom of speech please contact Waterstones, your local news or Christian Voice
