Name: Stephen Robertson on Jul 31, 2008Comments: This is an outrageous situation. By giving in they have proved themselves to be cowards and given encouragement to a sick bully. The article, taken in context, was an attack on a hypocritical liar, Stephen Green and his ilk, not on religion.Flag

Name: Gary on Jul 31, 2008Comments: Yet another organisation who are pandering to homophobic bigots. Maybe you should have demanded green offer an apology to all ofthe people he constantly attempts to degrade as being below him. Such a shame that The South Wales Echo can now be added to the long list of spineless organisations who pander to Stephen Green who cares more about his own ego than other human beings.Flag
