Of course he is. At the moment. That is not to say that I don't expect him to face charges sometime soon.

Being POTUS, and being protected from prosecution whilst in office, puts Trump in a unique position. Most people with his record would likely be in jail by now. In my opinion.

I am not old! I am mature. I have some age and experience. Wisdom comes with both.

My health problem might well impact my life expectancy and, in time, cause me to add weight but right now I live an active life. I walk at least 2 miles every day and until this new lockdown played active aport at least twice a week.

Despite the frequent sarcastic, or worse, comments here my brain is lively and always thirsting for knowledge. You don't get asked to be chairman of your club if you are a dimwit. I may well be a thorn in the sides of some here but in other places I am respected.

I might be 76 but that's nothing at all to me. I intend to try to be as active as this at 100. So you had better get used to it.

I don't believe for a moment that I have ever said "that the truth can be covered up if you think it leads to worst outcomes." I suspect that to be another of the gross misrepresentations you are so extraordinarily fond of.

That there are times when our security forces, or other public officials like the Police, may suppress stories if to release them would be against the public interest is obvious. D notices still exist.

So sometimes the truth can be withheld by some people if to release would not be wise.

The right to free speech is not absolute. Every right has to be exercised responsibly and lawfully. Without the law there is no freedom. Only anarchy.

That you categorise people by your own standards always says so much more about you then ever it does about them. Being thought "disingenuous" by you seems like a compliment to me. Whether any of the posters here would see themselves as "progressive left" is an open question which only they can answer. Your opinion, or mine, is irrelevant. As a traditional, one nation, conservative I see similar values to mine in all the major political parties.

Which is why we desperately need a new centrist party to represent those views which I firmly believe is the majority opinion in the UK. The right and left are just the noisest.

No wonder Wisbech is always on here. His dog is bored of him and his self righteousness and blanks him. Accepts a walk and then fecks off as soon as the front door is opened back home.

You didn't even know about its main tourist attractions.

As disingenuous as usual.

A very wise answer, that will probably fall on deaf ears.
