I was wondering about the 'Past is another country" tag. Trouble is, the next line is - "they do things differently there". It is a line used by self-help groups and addiction therapists to demonstrate that it is OK to forget about the past and start a new life. Not really the message we want to get across - more like the message of our 'opponents' . I was thinking more of turning it on its head by saying "The Past is NOT another country - it is OUR's" - but then it starts to sound like a BNP sound-bite.
