Iains - I'd be prepared to converse with you as I would any other mudcatter;
but your belligerent posting history has raised too many suspicions about who and what you are...

I'm not convinced 'you' are not just following directions on what links and ideas to post here...

That's me talking directly to 'you'...

I've made it clear enough I am not a member of any 'cabals',
and they probably wouldn't want me anyway.
I refuse to follow orthodoxies and leaders..

If anything, I may be some kind of non-conformist lefty libertarian
[pending googling on if they exist as a category,
and if it's a self identity I can feel comfy with]..
Maybe that's just another way of describing an old punk-hippy counter-culturalist from the west country...??
who knows...???

Whether you believe me is up to you...

If and when I think a real human called 'Iains' is actually communicating
on a meaningful level,
then I will respond with courtesy and some respect...

For the moment I've become more inclined to think 'you' are a minor cog in in an organised propaganda machine...
