Nigel - you're always a bit too literal minded when it comes to sarcasm and any form of irony based humour..
But we are used to it by now...

Steve - You gotta remember it's how other more moderate fence sitting ordinary folks
observe and interpret us 'loony lefties' behaving,
that will influence how much they are willing to take us seriously enough
to eventually agree with our progressive ideas for a more positive future...
We must not constantly conform to the negative stereotypes of us
that boris and dom's lot have polluted voter's minds with...

That's my humble opinion.. for what it's worth...

Anyway better news.. Sumo is on and starts very soon at 4.30 on NHK channel 507 on Sky,
but an empty arena , no audience.. that'll be weird...

Also, BBC news headline, "Tesco to ration some essentials"...
