Everyone's entitled to their point of view, and it's not your position to allow or disallow them making it known. Seems amazingly petty to try and influence it otherwise...

Local shops may find themselves in a difficult situation here. Many will have been very grateful for PCATS and a number of prominent members of PPAG are also high profile PCATS campaigners. I suppose, as Bob says, it is up to shoppers to let the retailer know how they feel about PPAG fundraisers.

Bob may be using emotive language, but he isn't trying to stop others from expressing a contrary view. Indeed, his effort to thwart PPAG fundraising seems fairly mundane to me. As far as I know, he hasn't tried to turn every calendar scene into a 'Spot the Bob' competition or paraded up and down in front of 'Findlay's' with placards comparing their customers to Christmas turkeys.

I agree with Bob's presumption that many folk may not be aware, when purchasing the calendar, where the money will go. This doesn't mean I think PPAG will be using underhand tactics, but merely that many folk, when faced with charity fundraising, simply put their hand in their pocket, without asking questions.

Has anyone mangaged to view the video clip? It won't load for me

Works fine on a PC but I had problems viewing it on Mac as well - very slow and stuttering. It's a .wmv file so Flip4Mac should be able to handle it.
