I wonder how many Facebook pages there are for people who have been fucked over by solicitors?

Not being on Facebook, I don't know.

Also, I wonder how many people who would rather vote for Cameron than Milliband also enjoy folk music and generally enjoy Mudcat?

When I held public office I was not political in that I was not a member of any party, but of course had to deal with many MPs and councillors of all colours. To be frank, the jury is out in terms of whether one party or the other held the most loonies or decent people. Some of my friends would class themselves Tory and many others would class themselves Labour. I didn't think it was civilised to hate or love on the basis of views of how to progress society.

Tell you what though, if you don't have opposing views debating and voting, you get far worse policies than when you get good healthy challenge. Don't forget, a government is not opposed by the opposition, they are opposed by the HM Loyal Opposition. The inference being that challenge and differing views are healthy.

I for one am not minded to support the new Health Bill. Although not for the scare mongering reasons churned out by those who should know better, I just disagree with most of the bill and feel such a radical rethink should have at least a manifesto commitment to give it credibility. The sad thing is, The NHS will suffer if it isn't passed now, because the government has, quite wrongly, gone far so down the line already, the old structures are no longer there. For that, they want shooting, but linking that to hating a Tory? Sorry, I'm not thick enough to be happy with the link.
