[IMC-bristol] Urgent Peace Opportunity

[Always Shariff]

Mr Ian,
I know this is for Bristol people, and for, what Bristol people thinks about.
This war is a thing which bothers the likes of me who is Bristol, bred and
buttered sir. How dare you suggest that this war does not include Bristol
people. The petition I send to the list is as important as any Bristol news you
can think of. I am very concerned about the way the Bristol Indy media is
becoming as it gets more popular. There seems to be a lot of bossing about with
no regard to consensus. 
If there are anyone else who thinks that I am posting nonsence, please do let
me and this list know.
 Thank you for your time and patience.
'Aving it bitterly
