You do talk some crap.

'trawling the dark web'? What the bloody hell are you talking about? Stop inventing little fantasies about people you disagree with and if you're going to engaged then debate the points.

Oh yeah, I remember how well you did when you actually debated.....It ended with all you having being empathy arguments to defend the politics that has worsened pretty much every social statistic in the land.

Then this.....what I can only describe as bitterness....every opportunity you get trying to poison the well, putting out what are in affect lies and focusing away from the arguments and onto anything you can demonise.

I regard that as disingenuous as you have used this 'dark web' waffle in relation to me in the past.

Regardless, I tire of this.

I was visiting people who live there so I know those places......property in Cornwall is expensive but that will suit you as yur proprty value is rising....all good for you??

I think it is inevitable that you become frustrated with some aspects of life as you get older. It rather goes with the territory. As far as my personal circumstances are concerned, I'm very happy, so I'm not really a curmudgeon in the classic sense. As for being at a loose end, well I do have the time on my hands that being retired allows. That is just how I like it.

As for any contradictions in my views. You are welcome to tell us what they are. Good luck with that.

Tring to claim extremism is an old tactic of the Left, and Wisbech is clearly a Lefty in denial, among other things. What he thinks is of little consequence to me.

Fair enough. I never imagined him plotting the overthrow of government. More that his views are well outside the mainstream.

I wonder, though, whether he would prefer being regarded as a curmudgeon with time on his hands, than as an extremist?

I expect we will find out.

That the media influence mainstream opinion is obvious. It's influence on you being an example. As most of the printed media is right leaning, that's the direction it goes. The Mail, Express and Sun being the leading culprits.

What constitutes a majority depends on the issue. The 2019 GE was unique in that it brought together a set of unparalleled circumstances. Which I won't attempt to detail in full but primarily consisted of Brexit fatigue, a slick marketing man running a campaign and an opposition in disarray, led by a wholly unsuitable, personally ambitious, scumbag who was abandoned by the traditional Labour voter.

2019 was not so much a triumph for the Tories as a disaster for our Parliament and the country. Parliament failed to do what it is elected by us to do. Which is not to give us what we want, but to give us what we need. It being their job to determine what that need is.

That view is neither right, nor left. It is the very essence of our Parliamentary, representative, democracy.

It is you, and those who think as you do, and not me, who are blinded by their own prejudices and yes, self-righteousness, and unable to come to terms with basic truths.

I do care what you think. I care about what everyone who has a vote thinks and will go on, to my last day, arguing for truth, honesty, morality and responsibility from those we choose to lead us.

For we should elect leaders and not followers. We desperately need a new generation of leaders to emerge who can inspire and lead us away from the path we are currently sliding down.
