Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Good on you, Bryan (and also Bruce Springsteen who did similar).....

Canadian rocker Bryan Adams has become the latest performer to cancel a US gig over controversial state legislation involving the LGBT community.

Adams announced he was cancelling an upcoming show in Mississippi, citing the state's new law that allows religious groups and some businesses to decline service to gay couples.

In a statement, the singer said: "I cannot in good conscience perform in a state where certain people are being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation."

Adams' decision comes just days after Bruce Springsteen axed a show in North Carolina in protest at the state's move to force transgender people to use public toilets that match their birth gender.

Mississippi's "Religious Liberty" law enables businesses, religious charities and churches to cite their religious beliefs as a reason for declining services.

Adams said he stood "in solidarity with all my LGBT friends to repeal this extremely discriminatory bill".

The state's governor, Phil Bryant, who signed the legislation last week, said the law "merely reinforces" existing religious freedom rights.

Missouri is also considering a so-called "religious freedom" bill, but governors in Georgia and South Dakota have vetoed such proposals.

Tennessee is proposing legislation similar to the North Carolina law.

The measures have provoked outcry not only from the LGBT community, but also from large corporations.

PayPal announced last week it was abandoning its plan to build a new operations centre in Charlotte, North Carolina, who would have brought 400 new jobs to the city.

Google, Apple, IBM and American Airlines are among several other companies that have condemned such laws.
