I wasn't linking them Ake, just mentioning 2 separate issues of contention...

I remember the anguish of being a young lefty and having to conform to peer pressure
to tow the ideologically correct line on all issues
for fear of being ostracised/vilified if harbouring any personal 'doubts' on any particular one...

[I've known some very scary thatcher voting feminists, and unhinged animal rights activists in early 80s Leeds & Bristol...]

But I hoped we all grew up to realise life aint as simplistic as that...

Even so, I guess because I'm younger and matured through the inclusive culture of the 70s and 80s, that's maybe why my chosen path is different to yours...???

I might be persuaded to grudgingly consider Farage's personal 'strengths',
but no way could I ever respect him as a role model......!!!!!
