Ms Easby, you appear to me to have addressed consistently the topic of what you wish Lawrence / Frank was getting at in the fake thread and what results was he hoping to achieve. The rest of us were simply assuming he might be trying to amuse us by poking gentle fun at the peculiar little world we inhabit. Terribly naive of us and not showing much political awareness, I'm afraid, but there's more than enough other threads addressing the topics you want to discuss.

You're showing all the stereotypical failings of the Left: taking everything far too seriously, turning everything into an issue, and boring its opponents into submission.

This is, or was, a light-hearted thread, so lighten up.
