The bus company does have the right to refuse, just as they have the right to refuse any campaign.

I’ll be interested to see where the campaign does go. I think they’ve been approached by various agencies.

At the end of the day it appears to be a business decision made by the bus company. Regardless of their reasoning, they must have a right of refusal when it comes to advertising space. I’m sure fashion magazines choose who they allow to advertise through them. I’m not so sure this is a ‘freedom of speech’ issue. What about billboards? Radio/TV ads? Surely there are other avenues?

Hey Paul, would your company run the ads?

As the chairman of a new bus operator, starting in Canterbury later this year and throughout New Zealand from next year, I support this campaign’s right to exist. After all, it gives us something worthwhile and interesting to counter with our own bus ads…

Hello Frank,

I trust you have been well, I think I saw you in India while I was fixing the underneath of my bus. I’m pleased to say that my face has heal so well that children no longer cry every time they see me. Esther is, I am sorry to say, justifiably allowed to harbour some malice against me. Something awful happened some time ago but hopefully since then enough water has passed under the bridge. Esther is a wizz on the computer so maybe she embedded some links in my previous posts. Anyhow I’m happy if she’s happy, so for arguments sake (and a small but significant debt) you can censor my comments.

Esther, Hungary was a simple case of your word against mine. It’s like you had never heard of that famous saying “the pen is mightier than the sword”. I wish it were like the “old days” as well but we both know that is impossible, however much we earn.

I’m going to take Franks advice and comment on some global issues, maybe you should too. My first comment was quite good I thought.

Ps – for those reading, holding comments in moderation because they contain links is to prevent spam.

What are you two on?

If his comments were held in moderation here in the past it would have only been because they contained links.

Moderate me? Please it was not me who caused a fresh round of violence to erupt between two warring tribes in a small lakeside village in Hungary with the recent publication of my autobiography.
Your foray into the world of paperback publishing (the carrot and I), written under that ridiculous penname which I won’t mention has incited more violence in that town than when the Russians came in.
I can’t believe your comments have been posted straight on here and aren’t awaiting moderation like in the old days.
Don’t trust him Frank, he’s a ferret in wolves clothing.

Hi David and Esther,

Great to hear from you! It’s been a while… and what a coincidence you would both turn up at the same time on the same post after so long.

Glad I could provide a smile and thanks for the smile you’ve given me

Hopefully you won’t be strangers and won’t just comment on posts you find disagreeable… which would be difficult if you find them all disagreeable I guess
