”I'm not challenged or stimulated by back slapping love-fests
between my fellow lefties and liberals,
where we are all fundamentally in agreement..
or bickering pointlessly between ourselves on self absorbed trivial issues..

...and I am never comfortable being associated with fellow lefties who act like patronising puritanical prigs..

..and I wouldn't tolerate too well any bloke engaged in a pub conversation
if he started dictating who I am allowed to speak to in the bar.
The Landlord can obviously tell us all to shut up
and stop blathering about politics and religion so loudly..
But other drinkers do not hold that position of power...”

I presume your comments above are a poke at my opening request not to give savour to The Troll. My request was made in the interests of keeping open the single thread we are allowed for UK politics.

So, if you’re unwilling to, or incapable of, resisting the temptation to stir the hornet’s nest, why not fuck off and start your own thread where you can argue until you’re blue in the face with your Troll-adversary, and your thread inevitably gets closed.

That way, this one might stand half a chance of staying open.
