Surely there can be no higher praise.

Many thanks, realityhack, and to all who have enjoyed and praised my marmalade.

I guess the OP's problem is that he thinks that it is.

Yes I did, you're quite right.

Oh well. NVM.

And it's BGG please..I've been posting here since this board's inception, and many years on its previous and better incarnation.

it's probably because the UN's already doing that. Amnesty's a practical charity that focuses on low profile cases for which it can make a difference. It isn't a political think tank that's obliged to have a public opinion on everything, or add its voice to the millions.

Indeed. Amnesty, or its members, probably does have an opinion. But it's not fair to criticise it for not weighing in as a political body, when it isn't. I guess the OP's problem is that he thinks that it is.

Shame to piss on a good charity because they don't trumpet your politics.

I used to be an amnesty member; I left for practical reasons rather than ideological; and there are areas where I think it's strayed from its original aims, but this is not one of them.

oh and political, hypocrisy.

Hello,

I visited your site today, in the belief that AI would have an opinion on the existing incarceration of the UK Sailors in Iran.

I am at a loss to understand why there is no mention of this event, nor any action you are undertaking to defend the rights of these UK Service Personnel.

If AI wish to be taken seriously, and not be accused of discrimination, then all Human Rights need to be defended, and not those selectively chosen to meet your own organisation's politcal ends.

To do otherwise, smacks of hyprocrisy.

Regards,

BGG
