Many of my opinions were changed by my late wife who started my progress from one-nation vaguely toryism towards the fairly radical views I now hold - and who I will add was routinely insulted and irrationally talked down to by one wannabee patriarchal poster on this forum - I particularly remember once hearing him say to her "Now you listen to me my girl" - which did not go down well.

She was also routinely insulted by an occasional female poster here - as a result I imagine of my late wife's considerably greater fanciability and musical talent.
