JfH Yes I know you stated this thread I was referring to the original thread. Fionn should have referred to Eire not Ireland. Fionn implied that my knowledge of the constition was "drivel" and I had to work at it. Then, wildly inaccuratley said that the UK doesnt have a constitution. I responded not only that it did I proved it. I also mentioned my degree to show that I had studied it obviously a damn sight more carefully than Fionn. Your counter arguments to mine on this particular issue have consisted of calling me names. Now you say you don't want to discuss it in public in the forum where you publicly insulted me in the same post, get a grip. As for my name its short and sweet (like a roasted maggot)and not party political - any one can be a councillor, even apparently Fionn, but I joined this news group as some one who is interested in folk music as a performer and organiser of clubs not particularly to discuss politics but if you think this is a suitable forum to air your views then I will reply whether you like my comments or not.
