Dear Niels,

No Hate is an example in this regards. I sometimes have problems to
understand your very theoretical approach. I like more practical
things, we are different.

Colleagues of Article 19 are also in our IRPC coalition and for them
it does not refer to a night club or anything else. But maybe I have
different point of view.

thanks,your
vik
